Quote
"The boys played an excellent road game tonight. Our commitment in all three zones showed and we got a tremendous effort in net from Burnsie. We had some other guys step their game up and really contribute. Nate Foster, Justin Perron, and Brady Valiquette were out best line all night. It's great to complete the sweep and now we'll focus on being 1-0 next Friday." –Nichols head coach Parker Burgess
