Steve Govett Quotations

I have a lot of respect for Ben and I want to do the right thing in getting him to Edmonton, but I'm not going to give him up for nothing. All I want is fair market value for Ben.

He is a sound defender, a great leader both on and off the floor and his toughness is unmatched.

He's a rock. He's tenacious, he's a rat, he's a pest. He grinds it out. Not too many people get by him.

I think you're going to see some very dedicated play this weekend with home floor on the line.

Pat is a champion and a leader and he brings great experience to our team. He's consistent, he's tough and he's simply one of the best defenders ever to play in this league.

We knew that Arizona was interested in Matt, but Dan Carey was easily the next-best choice. I think (Brown and Carey) are very comparable as players. They're both solid left-handers with big potential to score.

Brian is a talented and passionate player who has routinely stepped up in big situations for this team.

Every team Rich has been a part of has been successful. We are thrilled to add a player with his experience and we know his commitment to winning will rub off on our younger players.

Every guy I've ever met loves John Gallant, except the guys who have to play against him. He's the most soft-spoken, wonderful guy you could ever meet.

Ryan was willing to move to Denver, which was a huge plus and a huge factor in us making the selection,

This is a market full of enthusiastic, young lacrosse players. We could do player clinics every single day and not meet the demand for lacrosse education. This new complex gives the Mammoth an ideal platform from which to teach young athletes.

It's great, because the building is only 2 years old. It was damaged by the big snowstorm (in spring 2003) and rebuilt, so this is perfect.

These guys have worked hard and played extremely well this season. Having two of our players in the starting lineup of the All-Star Game is a tribute to our entire team.
