I was telling the guys that I felt like a rookie all over again, ... It's just a whole new atmosphere. It seemed like in New England everything had become normal, because we're just expected to win.

I believe that this is a team that can play with anyone in the state. We're not afraid to go out there and challenge other teams. Unfortunately, today we fell behind early and that's never good.

The pucks aren't quite finding their way onto sticks when they should and shots are going just wide.

I believe the Go Active! Fitness Challenge is important at this level, because it's at school that we start learning good habits. Ever since I was a kid, I've needed to move and be active.

I hope this program will encourage young people to be active and have dreams.

I feel like we're able to take coaching. You know the coaches are going to raise their voice and they're going to try to challenge you.

We understand they have to win and we have to win. It's just a learning process.

For me the challenge is to make sure the shows are good this year and to not burn out,

For me, that's what I wanted to do. Sometimes managers won't let their players, for whatever reason. That's a challenge for him. For me, I'd already lost 20 games by this point. It happened well before the end of the year. It's not like I was down to one or two starts. It didn't come down to the wire.

(Free State was) the last team that we lost to and, after that loss, it made us better, and we're hoping for the same type of response out of the girls. I know this group of young ladies, and they will take this as a challenge to channel it in the right direction and get better.
