It took us a while to jell. [But] now we feel like if we play our game, we can play with anyone.

With the new guys, it took us a while to get that team chemistry together, to get comfortable with each other. It took us 16 games to figure it out. Now that we have, I think we are heading in the right direction.

It's such a great Canadian thing. I think that's what got us inspired to play in the first place.

The audience differs everywhere we go. I've been sent e-mails from 18-year-old girls asking us to play birthday parties. We get middle-aged women jumping around.
