It's been a trying year, seen a lot of positives out of the new kids. Kids still working hard.

It's a coach's dream. Gives everything he has every time he gets on the ice.

They want to finish the season. They want to finish it with heads held high and I believe they will. If you work hard, keep a positive attitude, you never know what might happen.

If he keeps working hard, he's going to be a good player, a real good player.

The last three or four weeks he's really starting to turn it around...you've got a little learning curve what it means to be a captain.

He's an incredible athlete...he's got a lot of stamina. He logged a lot of minutes as a freshman. He can handle it.
