Tim Whitehead Best Quotations

Right now, giving them both the opportunity to play is in the team's best interest. We will need them both to be strong all the way through. When one plays well, the other seems to play well. I have sensed a very good competitive relationship there. They are helping each other to improve and inspiring each other with their play. That's what you want, a healthy-competitive relationship.

He's a great success story, I am really excited for him for not just his hockey but his life. He's just a great person; without question one of the best kids we have had come through here. Michel is a Black Bear through and through.

He might have been the best player among both teams. He is so strong on the puck. He's great at keeping possession of it. He'll fend off opponents by using his body and shifting his weight. He'll enable us to sustain a power play another 20 seconds by winning a loose puck and controlling it.

We played a sloppy game and did not play our best. We are going to have to come out better on Saturday night. We gave them odd-man rushes, but kept the shot total down. It was not our best defensive effort. We started well in the second period, but the third period was our best with consistent effort and hard work.

It's gonna be a dangerous weekend. On paper it looks like we're the heavy favorites but they've been playing their best hockey down the stretch.
