‘”I really wanted to get back to work today,” coach Phil Housley said after the team worked out for roughly an hour Saturday. “To me it’s a situation where we addressed it in the room. It was very evident when you watch the film although I didn’t show them the film. I don’t think it was the right time. I think more important is just addressing what has made us successful.”‘

It’s not so much even just the money aspect of it, it’s the support, and the emotional side, too. It’s something my wife and I have enjoyed doing the past three or four years, and we’re going to continue using our platform to raise money and awareness,” said Bogosian.’
