Chris Gruber does a great job, and he's such a great kid. He's a one-in-a-million guy. I hope he does well with whatever he does.

They hit the ball better than we did, and we didn't pitch very well. It was just one of those days. This is baseball. There is no magic formula.

It feels great to be back in the brown and gold uniform again and it is a real pleasure to coach these young men. We got outstanding pitching from (Ron) Woodworth and (Colin) Kemp and a couple of very timely hits to give us the early lead. As a coach, I can't ask for much more than that in our first game of the year.

My mother and dad played the fiddle and the guitar.

If Colleen Howe had been a hockey player, she would have been a centremen. I can see her as a centreman because you can do what you want and go wherever you want to go.

There's always something in the game you wish you would have done different. That's why players improve, because they learn from what they did before. They might have been guessing before, but now they know.
