Great Opening Weekend

November 18, 2009

Oh what a night...oh what a weekend!

Friday was a nail biter that we came from behind to win in a shootout. Saturday the powerplay finally got together and got us a win. Like i said to reporters after the game; it's great to be on the powerplay and put up points but the heroes are the guys that draw the penalties. Often these guys dont get to play on the powerplay but i wanted to recognize the grunt work that they do. Fans watch for these guys..and cheer for them when they cause the other team to take penalties. Its a team game and these " unsung heroes" don't complain when they don't get to play on the powerplay. They just go about the business of getting the team a win.

"Its amazing what can be accomplished when no one cares who gets the credit" - Harry Truman

This Harry Truman quote was written on our board before the weekend by coach Scott Hillman and every Maverick player has bought into this idea. Speaking of President Truman, the team will be wearing a "speciality jersey" this Friday to honor the President. Come down and support our team this Friday against a very tough, revamped Tulsa team.

See you at the rink,
