The one thing that stood out with him is the fact that he has playing experience under some outstanding coaching. He's learned from the best, so we're thrilled with getting someone from that program.

The one thing we're going to have to have while making this transition is patience. Our community is going to need to be patient because a lot of times we are going to be playing schools two times the size we are.

The one thing you have to be careful with every time you look at a lineup and see that you are playing a team you should beat, is that sometimes you don't put in your best effort. But I think at this point in the season, we're prepared to play our best hockey night in and night out.

The one thing you have to do is always play the game hard and people will love you. And every day, whether it was practice or on the field, he set the tone for the organization. When every young kid came up, they could see him playing hard and I think it was really an inspiration for that organization. He got them two championships. He was a great leader.

The only concern I do have is I'd like to see a couple more months (of data) put together here before we declare this torrid, hot economy as into another phase of gearing down. I'm not as optimistic yet that we have slowed everything.
