Coach McGovern and I got together and said it would be great to play. I think it's good that the schools play.

We played well defensively after the first five minutes, and we converted the power play well. We got a lot of guys involved. Now we go against one of the deepest and most talented teams in the Bay State Conference.

They were flying tonight. We played well in spurts, but we were overmatched. They were the best team that we've played.

That was the best we've played all season. We were physical, we moved the puck and we played a defensive style.

being able to do things on the spot, being able to play your instrument, being able to be imaginative with it.

Our line play versus the run is going to be a key. We're going to have to play disciplined on defense. No matter what offense someone plays, if you get whipped up front, you're not going to win. We saw that when we looked at last year's tape, but we've made some adjustments.
