Just because you can play the game doesn't always mean you can coach it, but Brett can flat out coach. He emerged as the best candidate and there was a lot of support behind him. We felt like this was the best fit for us.

In Coal City's previous game, they ran that play where they put a guy in motion and then threw the screen. Dylan read the play and came up with the interception. That was the dagger.

Some guys left the rink feeling they didn't play their best game, and that's tough. It didn't happen. We didn't get in synch. All year we've had a tough time when we don't score the first goal. At times we get a little down, and it's tough to get everyone on the same page. We would have loved to get to the semifinals, so that's disappointing. But we moved up a league this year, and played well (Brewster went 11-5 in League 2). Four of our losses were by one goal. So overall, the kids shouldn't be disappointed. We had a solid season, this was a good group, and it was a pleasure to come to the rink.

They were looking to play on the varsity and they probably would've been varsity players. They both were very big into basketball.

We've got 10 players that can play. We're one of the few teams in the league 10 deep. When you have 10 deep, you have to take advantage of it.

Overall, we didn't play as consistently as we could have. We put together some great combinations and really moved the ball around well, [but] we didn't sustain enough of that. I think the bottom line is, we had two or three chances that didn't go our way. It was a very exciting game; anybody could have won that one. So, it's a really tough loss because it could have been a tie.
