Both Kendall and St. Jacques were playing well. That's the reason we were alternating between them. Until now, neither of them had stepped out.
She's playing with poise and a great deal of confidence. She's played well the complete 60 minutes. She's in the zone, she sees the puck well and controls the rebounds well. She puts the team in a position to win.
She's a great team leader. Being named the assistant captain shows that the teammates look up to her.
As of right now, (St. Jacques) will be in the net against Wisconsin. The final decision will be made Thursday, but she's been playing great.
Last year, (the team) went with her for a long stretch just after Christmas.
Women's hockey allows body contact, not body checking. We want to play hard, have physical contact.
I'm not going to make the call right now. But if she continues to play well, and steps up, she'll continue to play. I'm waiting for the time when a goalie will separate herself, then you know when she will become the go-to goalie down the stretch.
All of them had good years. They compliment the other players around them.
