Dan Fitzgerald Quotations

I'd like the convenience of having a boat lock, rather than a lift.

Four wins is progress. It's a building process. I remind them not to get upset about losing. It's not the end of the world. I want them to keep that in perspective. Just learn from your mistakes and move on. They've got to keep perspective.

We've got to mature a little bit. It's a building process, piece by piece. But we will get there.

We could have done a better job of boxing out, screening them and being more physical with them. But they're a good team.

We get spectators a lot. Most of the time when people come out they sit in the shelters out there. A lot of times people pull up on the road, and we invite them to come up and sit in the shelters. They are more than welcome to come out and watch.

We just got to do a better job of getting him the ball and getting him open with tough screens.

Everybody was saying we weren't going to be too much our first year. Nobody really had any expectations. It's like they were waiting for us to screw up more than anything.

I've talked to a lot of my friends from the team. It was difficult at first because a lot of the phone lines were down, but they all seem to be doing OK now. They've lost a lot of material things, but everyone is OK.

As soon as he touched the puck there were two or three people in his face.

It's going to be a mess. For athletes, I hope it didn't mess their future plans up. We had scares two years ago when I was there with tropical storms and stuff like that that would flood the streets. The difference was the water would be gone the next day. It's definitely serious now, with all the water staying.

Sully is a really good kid. He's a real good skater. He's got good wheels and good stick-handling. He gets a lot of ice time. He can put the puck in the net, and he sets up teammates and gets a lot of assists. He's the spiritual leader of our team.

All the guys are happy to do it. It's a great cause, and I hope everyone comes out.
