That news, combined with Rocco's great work ethic and dedication to his rehabilitation, gave us the confidence to make this deal.

He has a second-to-none work ethic. He takes very good care of his body. He's the first guy on the ice and the last guy off.

It was such a testimony to our kids and their dedication and their hard work ethic to run the drills. We run an awful lot. We told them, 'You've got to put all that stuff in the bank because there will come a time down the line that we will need to make a withdrawal.' Tonight was one of those nights.

Jessica is very athletic, with a great work ethic, a third-year player for us.

Michael has been a great co-captain for us this year. His work ethic, attention to proper nutrition and academic results have been an example to our whole team all year. He will be missed.

He?s a good kid, works hard and has a good work ethic. You look in our clubhouse and he fits in very well.
