I think we've improved more than they have. Warroad has a lot of juniors and seniors but our young kids have picked it up.

She's a senior and she deserves a chance to show us what she can do... She's been waiting her whole hockey career to play in a game like this.

We finished the season exactly the way we started it. The kids really wanted this, and it showed in their play. We were focused on getting to this point.

This really isn't my event, it for everybody that's involved. It's for the kids, adults and the volunteers. They're the ones who make it happen and make it so special.

It does cause some awkward times at the end of [August], ... We had to send out a couple of kids we liked at the end of the month on our pitching staff and we had to bring up some other guys the next day.

Kids (in classes) have been the one bright spot.
