I think that if we don't go play pretty much a perfect game, it's going to be difficult for us to go out there and win that basketball game.

It wasn't pretty, but it was need win. It is difficult to play on such a small field with so much wind. We tried to get the ball into their half and into the box, then play a little soccer. We will work on finishing our chances before next Tuesday, especially the easy ones.

It's pretty hard to see me continuing to play hockey and he can't do what he loves anymore,

I absolutely enjoyed playing for him. He demands perfection, as all good coaches do.

That's why they're top Division-I athletes. They get the fastest, quickest, tallest players.

We were right there. What it came down to was a couple of loose balls here and a couple of rebounds there that would have pushed us over the ledge.
