Dearborn always plays us tough. We were in a little bit of a slump too, but now we're battling out of it. It doesn't matter what they're going to throw at us, we have to concentrate on what we need to do get ready. |
I have been able to regroup and get back to the basics. I talked to a lot of my goalie coaches and got my head back on straight. I have my confidence back and once you get your confidence back you can do anything out there. |
I think our team finally came together. We've been battling out of a slump and it's a special thing to have everybody come together at exactly the right time of the year. I think now we're going to get rolling and make a good run in the league and national tournaments. |
Obviously the seeding for the National tournament is a big deal. These games are going to have a large impact on us if we drop all the way to a No. 10 seed or all the way back up to a two or three seed. Michigan-Dearborn is in our league so they're going to be big games. Plus we're going to see all these teams at Nationals, so we are going to have to come out strong. |
Our fans are great, but it's even better when you have the alumni here. So we obviously have extra motivation because we have a lot of family and friends coming back into town for this weekend, and anytime they're here you go out and give it your all. |
The old-timers game is always a fun time. We've played with these guys and grown up with them, so it's just fun seeing them out at the bars and out on the ice with us. |
