A lot of the younger kids started as pro fans. But you see a lot more blue and white shirts in the days after the trip.

I'm proud of Andrew. In front of all those fans, he was very mature. There are a lot of kids who would have chucked it in after that first quarter, and he'd get right back out there and went at it. A quality kid.

My message to the kids and our fans is hockey's a great game. There's a lot of hockey being played at all levels. Get involved, do it. We will be back and we will be back better than ever and hopefully as soon as possible. Don't give up on the game. It's too good.

It felt so good playing on the blue in front of all our fans. It just feels so electric when we're here. I get so into it when I see all our fans just cheering for us. Going out here and getting a win was just huge for our program.

There are more college kids in IT-related programs, but universities still are not keeping up with industry demand. About 30,000 to 35,000 students will graduate this year in all computer science-related fields. But that represents a 10-1 spread between the supply of students and the shortage.

Lots of parents and kids were in the audience.
