Dan Baker

Giacomo as a two-year-old was a little immature physically. So we just -- we couldn't, you know, push him too hard until he physically developed a little more.

So, you know, really felt good about that.

John Shirreffs

Christmas present from Russian Santa Claus.

Pavel Datsyuk

I looked at other places like Pasadena, but it's more conservative, more old style, European style over there, and there is more competition. I feel that the people who live in Santa Monica gravitate towards my style.

I definitely think there's more parity in the league than there has been in awhile. Santa Barbara is still going to be the team to beat, but I think there are other programs knocking on the door, and hopefully we're one of them.

Faith Mimnaugh

Surf City has nothing to do with Santa Cruz.

Dean Torrence

When I was at Eloy Santa Cruz, we only had 23 kids, so you don't have any choice but to use kids on both sides of the ball. But the more kids you can play, the more you keep them happy, motivated and their parents happy.

Stephen Taylor

Heck, I think they've even brought Santa Claus in.

Bob Schlag
