COACHES CORNER
"Our power play woke up this weekend. We scored three power play goals today and one yesterday. I think we have figured a few things out; it's exciting to see develop. Coach Bill McSween has both units competing for power play ice time. It's great to see something that you spend time on in practice carry over to game situations" –Coach Phil Sweeney
