It's a good time all weekend. We try to make it a good time for everybody involved.

The time down in Florida was more of a training time. This weekend will be an indication of where we are with our fitness and our readiness.

There are former college and pro players on some of the teams. Even the first-time fan will enjoy some of the hockey this weekend.

We're going to end up with an OK, ho-hum weekend, whereas two days ago it was looking like another awesome, blockbuster weekend coming up.

It's going to be a big weekend just because it's a Mid-American Conference team that's supposed to be at the top of the conference along with us. Even though it's early in the season, it's going to be one of those weekend series' that we'll begin to position ourselves after this weekend.

We're going to find out a lot about ourselves this weekend.
