Quotes
"If you want to look at a program to emulate yourself after it is what Coach Matthews has done at Saint A's. On top of that they have tons of skill and you can see that in the way they play out on the ice. What they are doing there is something we are striving to do at Nichols in the near future." – Nichols head coach Wil Brown on Saint Anselm

"Proud of the way Melissa LaFleur played in her first collegiate game. She did everything we have been asking our players to do. She played a style we have been wanting all of our girls to play this season so she will get an opportunity very soon to keep impressing us." – Brown on the play of freshman Melissa LaFleur (Chicopee, Mass.)
