From now on I'll be a spectator sitting in the stands, having my pop and watching from there. It's been a passion of mine for a while, and I'll still be there to support (the club). |
It seems a bit timely now but I handed in my resignation letter in January. I've been doing this for a long time and it's time for me to get out and get someone else in there. |
It was just one of those extraordinary seasons where anything that could go wrong did. Last year it was just the total opposite. Everything went so smoothly with us - we didn't have any injuries and had lots of veteran leadership, and this year we lost a lot of our veterans and it hurt us a lot. But the guys hung in there and during the last three weeks we played pretty well. |
It's a pretty big feather in Tom's cap. |
It's just all happening in bunches this year. It's pretty crazy. It's a huge loss for us to lose Mike Andrew, but Mike Langley stepped into the captaincy and did a great job. |
Our government has shipped a lot of the work over seas. Our work force in the U.S. is going down and it has been for a number of years. |
Ryan and Akio and Ian were all at the camp at Shawnigan Lake, ... By all accounts (Ian) had a very strong game, as did Ryan and Akio, so I think those guys will have a pretty good chance of making the Canada West squad. Mike wasn't there but he's still on the list and I think he's going to make it. |
The guys were very courageous on the day, that's for sure. It was a good game and both teams played pretty darn well. It could have gone either way. |
We've already brought people up for Akio and Christoph and the guys who just got onto the fire department. Between that and the injuries it's been unreal this year. I mean. it's great that our guys make the national team, but all this really tests our depth. |
Without the people you have no union. ... Without the laborers this country wouldn't be what it is. |
