These are the kind of kids we want on our team. They have the proper motivation. They want to go to college. They are hockey players that I think need to hone their skills a little more. And both of them get to stay close to home.
Nate is fairly well known by a lot of the other players. So we are hoping that kids will say, 'If he's playing there, maybe I can.' Kind of the herd mentality.
We wanted to sign a core of kids because we wanted to lock up a few. But we also wanted to send a message about Maine kids.
