Tom Johnson Team Quotations

I was happy with the play of the team, especially with our defensive play. To give up five goals in four games is a real accomplishment for this team. We have been able to play all four lines most of the time, and I think that has really helped us in the third period wearing teams down.

We needed to shoot more in this game then we did in our last game against Belmont, and the team came through. We have some tough games ahead, but if we keep playing the way we did tonight, we can win these next two games.

All around, we had a great team effort this weekend. We showed so much heart throughout the meet and I am so proud of our kids. Our strong finishes are a real testament to our kids' work ethic and their drive to improve.

This is a big performance for Brian and great news for Canadian swimming. For him to come under the world championship team cut and post a time that would have put him 10th at the worlds shows he's back. The shoulder feels good and now he'll set his sights to battle for a spot on the Commonwealth Games team.

To be honest, it seems like I've been going the long way around anyway. I'll just keep a level head and really go out there trying to win a spot, get on the team and stay focused.
