We played well in the tournament and have nothing to be ashamed of. Jacobs is a very good team.

[The South Hockey Club board] had a meeting and decided to go another direction because I was coaching in Barrington. They wanted someone just committed to the [South] program. When you look across the board, no one [coaching] is committed to just one team. We all try to balance those things.

It's tough to juggle things with your family. I had three great years at South. We had a good run [in 2005]. I'm quite happy with what we accomplished. I really enjoyed the people. I hold no ill will toward anybody at South.
