Defensively we're fine, but we still have to work on our finishing. As well as Eric and Russ are scoring, I feel they could be doing better if they would just finish a few more of their opportunities. We're getting more opportunities to score, but haven't cashed in as much as I'd like to see. |
For our juniors and seniors, I think playing those types of teams the past couple years helped prepare them for this season. |
I came here to make a statement. I know that many never heard of me before, but that's what these things are for. |
If you ask any coach they'll say the same thing in any game, whether it's soccer, baseball or hockey; that third goal was a big goal. If they put one in, we're in big trouble. If we put it in, the whole momentum changes. |
Many people said that it was too crowded with the 400 players here. But to me, I just concentrated on doing what I needed to make this combine a success. |
They're really looking forward to playing and getting on the field. This could be a big game for us. It won't clinch the title, but being up two games in the section with two games left would put us in a good situation. They're very excited about it, but they know it's going to be hard work. |
They've been like that all year. It's always been one guy. One of them, he or Russ (Picard) would get stopped, but at the end of the game they always seem to be in the right place at the right time. |
We have played at home and it doesn't seem to be a hindrance to us, but it does for the other teams. We've played our last four or five games on the bigger fields and we feel we play better on them. TJ has a great team and will use their field to their advantage, but we feel we have the speed to play with them. |
