It was actually a very hard-fought game. Slowly but surely, we pulled away. We played better, and I think they tired.

Just a tremendous job by our defense, and goalie in the second half. Their clutch stops let us get back in the game. They were just phenomenal today.

I give all the credit to the boys. None of them ever, no matter how bad it was that year (2004), quit. They all kept the faith and now they are reaping the rewards.

It's a very interesting situation. We have definitely added a lot of numbers to the team.

To see the kids succeed and want to play at the next level makes us feel good. I'm thrilled with all of the hard work they have put in. To say I am proud of these guys is an understatement.

Two years ago the sessions averaged 8-12 players. This fall we averaged no less than 20 guys per session. The enthusiasm for the game is constantly growing. I see kids with sticks all the time.
