Colin Clarke Win Quotations

We are aiming to win the league and cup this season, and also return to Europe.

We really need to go out and beat Colorado on Saturday. They're still right at our heels, so it's important to get the win in that respect, but it also important to keep winning and keep the confidence high, especially at home going into the playoffs. I thought that we thoroughly deserved the game and I would have been disappointed if we didn't come out with a win.

It's the first game of the season, you want to get off the mark and get that first win under your belt so we're very happy to get the three points. ... We gave up two bad goals, but with that, we were able to come back twice which is good. We showed a lot of character and that is something I think is really important.

It's probably the most difficult decision I've had to make in the time I've been the head coach. I'd come to this club around about the same time Eddie was drafted. He's grown up here while I've been here, and, you know, I put a lot of faith in him two years ago and he carried our team nearly all the way to the playoffs. I've seen him mature and get better as a player and win national team honors, so, yes, that was a very hard to let Eddie go.

Any time that you get a win it's a boost, and we needed that win against Chicago, at home, there were a lot of positives. But more importantly we knew that it was important to build on that win and not let the momentum go.
