Dan Labbate Quotations

When we got that goal I thought we had a chance. Even with five minutes to go, I thought we were going to come back. We've been a third-period team all year.

On the ice, I don't even have to look for Paul Daley, I can just feel where he is. He doesn't even need a number out there. He's a great skilled player, but nobody can compare to him in the locker room. If not for him, I don't know if we even get as far as we did.

We were kind of nervous on the bus wondering what it was going to be like. A lot of the schools here have been here four or five times and for us it's the first time.

Of course we had to do it, it was our new coach and we didn't want to not do it. We just went through the motions because we all knew each other already. By the end everyone was laughing and telling jokes about everyone.

Something like this we'll probably never experience again. We shouldn't hang our heads, we had a great year. Two teams can't win a state title. That's life.
