Head Coach Tyson Ramsey had this to say after last night’s win :
“I thought our guys did a real good job. I thought we had a real good start to the game and then I felt they kind of gained the momentum back in the latter part of the first and into the second. Our guys did a good job sticking to our structure and we were able to take the game back over in the third and into overtime.
Obviously both goaltenders were great and so happy for Jack Einarson to have scored the winner!!
It was a huge win for our club and we’ll get home and watch the game to make any adjustments we feel are necessary and get ready for game 2. “
