junior kids number picked
There's been a number of (local) kids that have been picked up by Junior A teams.
boys entire focus hard worked
Our boys were confident, and they worked hard all year, but this wasn't a one-time thing. This was a culmination of all the work and all the focus we put in the entire year.
hockey junior open performance playing playoff potential strong
I think he has the potential of playing junior hockey somewhere. If he has a strong playoff performance, he can open some eyes.
group players talented
I think we have a pretty talented group of players with a lot of skill.
played year
We played all year to get the No. 1 seed.
complete team
That's one stat that you can really look at and say everyone on the team had a part in it. It's a complete team effort.
good handle knew park sure test
We knew Bethel Park was going to give us all we could handle and they sure did. But it's good to get a good test because, at each level, every team's going to give everything they have.
rung taking
We're taking it one rung at a time.
beginning goal win
At the beginning of the year, the kids' goal was to win states.
behind bit bring everybody fact falling kept meant seems shots work
Down the stretch, everybody seems to bring up the fact that we kept getting behind after we hadn't done that all year. But the shots were 33 to 7 after two periods. Falling behind really meant nothing to us. It just meant we had to work a little bit harder.
coming confident control felt game kids playing third though
We felt we had control of the game even though we weren't playing too well. I thought the kids were pressing, but we were confident coming back in the third period.
afraid good leaders offensive opportunity people scoring terrific tyler
A lot of people that don't get an opportunity to see him play, they just look at the scoring leaders and say he's just an offensive player. But Tyler is not afraid to go make hits, he's a terrific face-off man, he's a good penalty-killer.
focused happy kids next pointing state step
It's a little more subdued, I think. I think the kids have always been pointing to the state championship, and this is just another step of getting there. They're happy that they won, but they're focused on the next game.
anyone says seen team
Anyone who says we are a one-line team hasn't seen us play too often.
