I give all the credit in the world to our seniors. This team is so unselfish and focused on winning; that's all they care about.

We have done exceptionally well in World Cup events this season, winning medals in snowboarding, freestyle moguls and freestyle aerials, and we are going to Turin with an expectation of winning medals there too.

The season has been so enjoyable. Not just because of where we are, but to see guys like (seniors) Heath Waller and Josh Bjerke mature into leaders, and the development of our younger players. They've all worked so hard to get to this point.

We really thought we had them. They fought back and got back in it.

We've been known around here a little bit for our man-to-man but we switched to a zone against the more athletic teams. We're just focused on one thing with defense and that's getting the job done.

The guys gave me a hard time about that. We practiced some zone in the middle of the season, just getting familiar with the responsibilities, in case we needed it.
