Bob Nicholson Last Quotations

I sat in the last (IIHF) directors' meeting and the words I heard in the last directors' meeting were exactly what I wanted to hear. They were going to allow players to hit and they were going to call the hooking and the holding. Now the players are confused. We have to get this much more consistent, not for Team Canada, but for every player in this tournament.

Last year's team was if not the best, right up there in the history of the tournament. This year, every player is going to have to bring to the rink their A games to be successful. Brent has that unique ability to make sure every player has their A game for every game.

We've had discussions over the last couple of months. There hasn't been anything formal. I'm in an excellent situation and I love my job here. But if the right offer came along, I'd listen.

A lot of coaches could have won gold with that team last year, but not many could have won gold with this team this year.
