Ben Walter – TWU Head Coach
"It was obviously a better effort than last night. The guys were ready to prove who we were and what we had and they came out hard and we played a solid game. I thought Labelle stood tall in net and made the saves that he had to. Our penalty kill was great. Guys were blocking shots. It was a really good team effort. I thought they line of (Josh) Borynec (Parkland County, Alta.), Sartor and (Mitchell) Joss (Winnipeg) gave us a ton of energy and made some plays that were really fun to watch. Kolby was a big pick up for us after not playing on Friday. He really got the guys going. We have lots of work to do, but it's a good way to finish off our exhibition season."
