Game Week Comments:
Assistant Coach Greg Meuser: “The biggest adjustment we need to make on the ice is talking. We switched things up last weekend to force them to talk more and we played one of our best periods this season. It showed the importance of communicating on the ice. It’s not only about letting your team know where you are, but also about where the other team is, and they are able to direct their teammates to make a play they see developing .”
