There have been some great battles this year. For whatever reason, we just seem to match up with one another pretty evenly. |
We have had some tough battles with Traverse City this season. Competing in a playoff environment will continue to challenge our guys and prove to be great experience in the development of our players. |
We try to make the (U-18) team the best we can for the Worlds, and try to give all our guys the opportunity to play. Those are three very good players, but the guys we have are ready to go. It gives the other guys a chance to step in and contribute even more. |
You look at our series with Traverse City, and they were all very close, very tight games without exception. I expect this will be a terrific series, right down to the wire. Scotty and Mike (Stapleton) do a great job of coaching up there, and they'll have their guys ready to go. This one could go the distance. |
