This is special because it's my alma mater and being to be a part and have that success here. We didn't get here because I'm a genius. This is a players' accomplishment and a testament to the kids we've had play here. |
We have a chance to win the league and playoffs, and that's something that is special. We want to put more banners up in here. |
We have to have the confidence that if we outwork people good things will happen. This is our playoff drive and I think our young team was feeling the pressure. This was good for them. |
We hope the experience of hosting last year helps a little this year. It's a different atmosphere and a different week leading up to the game. |
We knew Nicole was naturally-gifted, but I thought it might take a little while for her to get some recognition. She deserves it and she is going to get better and better. The sky is the limit. |
We knew they would be a strength, but I didn't anticipate them being as good as they have been. They take a lot of pride in playing well and doing things the right way. And all of them are self-motivated. As a group they keep getting better. |
We know that we have to go out and try to win the playoff championship. The rest of it is out of our control. |
We talked about the importance of scoring playoff type goals. Creating traffic in front of the net, moving into the slot and finding the open area. Tonight it happened to be higher in the slot. |
We're going to enjoy this one. Any time you can win a championship, it's special. It's even more special to bring the first one (O'Brien Cup) home that is a tribute to Frank O'Brien. |
We're just happy to be playing in the championship game. This was just what you would expect in a high-intensity postseason game. |
