Our youth showed up tonight. We had two freshmen and two sophomores starting, and tonight, we never got into any kind of offensive groove.

That was crucial. I said on the bench that if we catch them, we'll beat them, but you've got to make plays.

Basically, since Christmas, Julie has been stepping up and making plays for us.

This is the highest level of amateur youth hockey you can play. This will be the sixth year we have hosted this tournament and the 10 teams we have is the largest tournament we've had.

Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.

There's nothing more arrogant or conceited than youth, and there's nothing other than machinery that can replace youth.
