Head Coach and GM Tyson Ramsey:
Our team is really looking forward to the playoffs getting started. We have had a great second half of the season to clinch a spot in the playoffs and now for them to finally get started is exciting for not only our team but our fans as well. We have players going in for the first time as well as guys playing their final playoff season and some in between so it is always interesting to watch how guys handle the experience and what they learn from it. We are playing a great team in the Blizzard so it should be an exciting series.
