We knew they were going to come out strong. Ray was really on tonight. We knew that we had to get a couple goals on him.

I couldn't see it real well, but it looked like both of them (the receiver and defender) were up in the air and going for the ball.

We have a lot of depth and experience back. We lost some great players and have to fill their shoes. The kids are excited. We had a great summer. This is a great group of kids.

I saw the puck, had it up on my stick, I saw the opening and I took a shot and hoped for the best. I didn't want to go to overtime. I wanted to end it right there and right then. I'm sick of them tying it and going to overtime. I just wanted to finish the game.

We go over everything from school rules like you can't miss a practice the day before a game and play to explaining the user fees,

I wanted a positive message, ... I wanted something about making good decisions, overcoming adversity and being good team players.
