Al Melanson Quotations

(Seaman) really came to play. He did a great job.

Marblehead deserves a lot of credit for coming back like they did. They have a very good record, and they came at us in the third (period). I thought we got the short end of the officiating, as there were some calls I just didn't understand. There should've been a whistle right before Marblehead's fourth goal, and there were two players on top of my goalie on their fifth goal. Our kids left it all on the ice, and I couldn't be prouder of them.

We finally got everybody back healthy and had a good effort. Classical is a very good team and this is something that we really, really needed.

We played well, but we're just having trouble finishing. Alex made a lot of big saves in the first period.

This was a very good high school hockey game. I couldn't be any prouder of this team. They showed a lot of character and so much heart.

We just put (the first meeting) behind us. We are a completely different team than we were then. We've developed chemistry and character through hard work.

It was a good, solid team effort. We just have to take one more step.

These kids are finally starting to believe and that's important.

Alex is a quality goaltender and he made some great saves in the second.

Alex has played that way for us all year and their guy also showed why he is one of the best in the league.
