Ken Hitchcock Stepping Quotations

He needs to have a big year. It's his third year pro and that's usually when players start stepping ahead. He showed flashes in the (Calder Cup) playoffs and now all we're looking for is consistency.

To me, it's about new heroes. It's about people other than the obvious ones stepping up. It's about people supplying energy and momentum for you. We're in a no-choice situation. We need everybody to bring the energy they can.

There's no point stepping up if you're not comfortable doing it. The stepping up means you have to show the work ethic.
