In the third period, we did a much better job of not getting sucked in. We tried to pinch a lot in the first two periods. When we didn't get the puck, we were in trouble and gave up too many chances. I'm just very happy with the heart we showed in the third period.

These guys learned by playing. We took our lumps early. But look at what it did for them. They were able to deal with all this tonight. They've come a long, long way.

To beat a team like New Canaan makes it even sweeter. They've been here in the Division I finals many times. This legitimizes what we did in the tournament.

To beat a team like New Canaan makes it even sweeter. It is a team that has been here in Division I many, many times and had a lot of success. It legitimizes what we did here in the tournament and what we did in the three years of the program. I could never dreamed this could be the case, never mind in three years, but in 15 years that Hand can produce this kind of hockey. It is amazing.

Developing a brand name and identity for a professional sports team is a pretty detailed process. It can take a little longer than you expected, especially the legal process.

We've heard from a very vocal audience that some people are upset about the name. At no time did we want to offend people with the choice of the name ? soccer unites the world, and we want to do that with our league ? so we have had to look closely at changing the name.
