Having the opportunity to get up and start the day off on the right foot by playing hockey, it's great. I think it will help all of us academically as well. Now we have a little time between 7-10 p.m. to study or socialize. Before, our time, we didn't have a whole lot of it.

I was talking to NCAA Division I and Division III schools. Having hockey in the southeastern United States, and at a Christian school, is a complete oxymoron. Just for that unique opportunity, I didn't want it to go to waste.

This isn't just Liberty's hockey team, as far as the guys in the locker room are concerned. It's Lynchburg's hockey team as well. Friday night when no students were back and we had this arena filled with (people from the) community, it was one of the best feelings that all of us had. It was unbelievable.

We have added nobody in the last four years to that department, ... We have an opportunity to fix a couple of significant areas and, at the same time, recoup most of our costs. ... This is going to be a full-time job for the first year or so.

Nobody ever contacted me, ... I heard after the fact that Chris got the endorsement. ... I didn't even get the opportunity to speak to them.

I'm going to give everybody the same opportunity. I would love to see our percentages go up to the max. That would be wonderful.
