Dave Palmquist Quotations

I think it is a wait-and-see situation. I certainly enjoyed the atmosphere at Ridder. It was perfect for girls' hockey. We will have to just wait and make judgments after we see how it goes.

I think that the administration felt our numbers were going to be down and that Class A would be the best place for us. Although I was not happy with the decision, we are a very small school.

We were motivated and challenged, that's for sure.

We needed to generate some offense. You can't score without getting some shots on net.

You do spend a lot of time walking and not finding them. You can't let that make you not believe.

I've never seen anything like it before in my career. Our defense just kept its composure and gutted it out. It was all about heart.

It's never easy with this team. Maybe we don't have the same skill level as last year's team, so it is always a constant battle. This game did personify who we are. Things were tight and close. There's still great satisfaction of where we are and what we have accomplished.

All that matters is that we are in a championship for the fourth time in five years. It is amazing.
