Head coach Mark Johnson

On what the momentum was after a 1-0 deficit:

“To think [Edwards’] Goal, Shorted, was really about the early part of the game and I think we played exceptionally well by the third period, especially managing the Puck and taking care of and doing what we had to do to get to the end of the game. “

About the toughness of the team:

“They have earned everything their way. They have been consistent. They have played well all year round and we have always had this bull -eye, especially this year, right for us and everyone comes after us, and it is a challenge. It is difficult, so I give them a lot of praise.”

At the depth and consistency of the schedule:

“We have had different players at different times and play a game […] I am really proud of the way they have been able to be consistent all year round and they deserve to be in this championship game, and I am excited to see where it goes. “

Senior Vooruit Casey O'Brien

On the milestone:

“I was just focused as much as possible to the success of the team, and yes, it's cool, but that's not what the focus is on. It is in the team and the next game, it's really all it is.”

About the late goal in the second period:

'I have a nice pass from Laney [Potter] When I came up and I knew the clock would come and so I just tried to get a shot on the net. I used the defense as a screen, so I was lucky that it went in, but I think I would go into the third period with that kind of lead, gave everyone a lot of confidence and then we ended it.

On the short -tying equalizer:

“We stayed at the level of the head. (Caroline) Harvey makes a good stop, picks it up to me and I gave it to Casey. She is clearly a threat, so she pushed the defense back, gave it to me, and I just took a shot on the net. We don't go down early so when we did that, but we have signed things.”

About what this team means for her:

“I play, I live my dream now. I play the sport that I love with the people I love, so it's great. If you look at all three my goals, they started with the hard work of someone else and just smart hockey, so it's really fun and we are really enthusiastic for the next game.”
