It's a real juggle for us. We need the guys to play together, to get them exposure, but we also want to keep them fresh for England.

It's been frustrating for all us because we don't get access to all our best professional players and the guys we got here are amateur players.

The other day 16 of us went round to John's house to play a tournament on the PlayStation. We had loads of TVs set up and games going on at once. I don't mean to boast, but I won!

We will try to convince him that it would be to his advantage to play with us.

They've just been on fire. They're winning games for us. They're all skilled guys who can play in the American Hockey League and they bring a work ethic to the table.

I thought it would help to slow them down. I thought it was the best defense for us to play, and I thought we did a good job.
