QUOTE OF THE DAY

“When we played for the Victoria Salsa, Billings Bulls and Fairbanks Ice Dogs junior hockey teams we always liked playing against teams in their sold out arenas with their thousands of fans. The fans would say bad things about us, throw things and enforcers would get to work real quick. The key in this hot situation is to take control of the game and take away all of the passion from the crowd. There is nothing like winning in a sold out road arena.”

— Eddie Samuels, 2001-02 Red Line with Las Vegas Mustangs
