Our objective has always been third and when we get there, we'll look at second place. These next games are extremely important. The third, fourth and fifth place teams are playing really well right now and if you lose two or three in a row, it could really drop you down in the standings.

It's a great start. We've been getting better and had a lot of close games last year. There is nothing like winning games.

We got off to a great start and I'm very happy with the win and the way we played. I give a lot of credit to Wheatfield. They are a hard working team and they never give up. They have a strong work ethic and are very committed to back checking. Their goaltender also played well in the second and third periods.

In the third period, we generated some great scoring chances. It was good to see that we continued to press through the defensive trap set up by the Falcons in the final period. In the past, we would struggle to generate offense when go against the trap.

I thought we played extremely well. We were well prepared and the guys were focussed. We easily could have won the game, but I am comfortable with how we played.

We will find out Saturday night how close we are to Niagara Falls. This is a key game for us.
