Quotes
“OMHA White had something to prove, none of the OMHA teams had won any games yet. Verses GTHL Blue we had a really strong first period, and that was our plan going into this game – come out with a strong first period and continue that on throughout the game,” said Joshua Ziliotto for Team OMHA White. “Hopefully we get a chance to play in a medaled game and take home some hardware.”
“Credit to that team we just played out there they had a great game, but you know we can learn from this - take positives and negatives out of it and translate it to our next game,” said Connor Lockhart for Team HEO. “Definitely going to get a good sleep in tonight, get the right foods in us and stay hydrated and come back to play the GTHL Blue team tomorrow because we know if we want a chance at advancing we will need to win that game.”
