It was a nice win for us. It gave us a chance to play some other kids. We felt like everybody kind of came in and played well.

(It was a) good chance for everyone to play.

One thing is for sure, our kids aren't taking the chance to play for granted any more. Based on what they've seen and heard in the last week, being able to play this game means something to them.

One of the purposes of the event is to give kids a chance to play where the state championships are played.

We had a chance to play some younger kids, which is always good. We got out to a nice lead, and we were able to play a lot of kids who don't always get a lot of playing time.

If we get a chance to play Hales, I'll be showing the kids that movie about the Miracle on Ice.
