I thought the rest of their kids stepped up and played with a lot of focus.

My focus is just to get the kids on the ice. Some play hockey on one end, and I let them free skate on the other end if they want to.

It is lot easier to play when you're winning and you are swinging the bat and people feel good about themselves. Losing is a hard thing. I want it to not be fun when you lose.

We played a little soft that time and then the rest of the time I thought our kids were in position to make coverage or make the play.

He is a guy that sometimes teams don't focus on, but he is a great complement to the rest of their talented players. He recognizes his role and plays it very well.
