Along with Jassen Cullimore , Matthew Barnaby , and Curtis Brown whom we signed last year we feel that we have really improved our team.

We are excited about the new deal. I think the new rules definitely will help [along with the] different camera angles, better vision of the puck.

I wouldn't say it's cold, but every year Winnipeg's athlete of the year is an ice fisherman.

We know what we have with Boucher, and we know Curtis is a tremendous goalie and got a year off to get healthy, ... We expect it to be a competitive battle between both of them. . . . I'd like to see one of them jump up and grab that starting position.

It was strictly a business decision.

This is a new beginning for us, ... We've been very happy with the people we were able to acquire. They all have skill, they all can play the game and they all have different attributes.
