contribute good multiple players seniors teams time
Teams have to have good seniors and they have to have multiple players contribute at this time of the year. We had that.

You always like to control your own destiny and we do that by playing teams that we need to beat.

I still think we can score more. We've got guys that haven't gotten hot yet. We haven't played our best hockey yet. I don't think we've reached our peak as a team by any means.
group last played seniors team wished year
This team is completely the new one. Last year's team was the end of the carryover. I think the group of seniors last year wished they had played for Ron.

This team has worked their tails off and I'm proud of them. They feel good right now and they should.

This was a tremendously hard-fought game. The game had great speed and intensity, and the referee decided to let the teams play. We have won a lot of close games, so this was not unusual for us.

You can't became a good team easily. And this one did.

We've played them fairly recently and know what they are. They're a big, strong team that is physical, and their goalie, Wylie Rogers, is playing outstanding.

The nice thing about our team right now is we don't have to change anything. We're not going to adjust our lineup. We're not going to change what we're doing.

We beat the two teams ranked third and sixth in the country.
against careful left match teams wing
They play a left wing lock, they don't give up much. You better be careful against them. These two teams will match up very well.

They're an older, bigger, stronger team, and those teams have given us a little bit of trouble at times because we're a younger team.
coming experience game hopefully jump knew learning next obviously settle team
They're obviously a battle-tested team and we knew coming into here that they're a big-game program. Their experience I thought was a factor. They got the jump on us before we could settle down. This was a learning game for us and hopefully we can take it to the next level.
close earning needed team validation
This is a team that's needed validation and it's earning respect. It's all very encouraging. I don't think we've come close to peaking yet. We can get better.
