For our juniors and seniors, I think playing those types of teams the past couple years helped prepare them for this season.

Many people said that it was too crowded with the 400 players here. But to me, I just concentrated on doing what I needed to make this combine a success.

I came here to make a statement. I know that many never heard of me before, but that's what these things are for.

We have played at home and it doesn't seem to be a hindrance to us, but it does for the other teams. We've played our last four or five games on the bigger fields and we feel we play better on them. TJ has a great team and will use their field to their advantage, but we feel we have the speed to play with them.

Defensively we're fine, but we still have to work on our finishing. As well as Eric and Russ are scoring, I feel they could be doing better if they would just finish a few more of their opportunities. We're getting more opportunities to score, but haven't cashed in as much as I'd like to see.

If you ask any coach they'll say the same thing in any game, whether it's soccer, baseball or hockey; that third goal was a big goal. If they put one in, we're in big trouble. If we put it in, the whole momentum changes.
