Coaches´ Quotes

Michal Dědič (CZE): “We had a good start to the game, and it was also extremely important that we managed to score goals. That made things easier for us as we were in the lead. It’s too bad about the goal we conceded, and there were some mistakes we need to eliminate. But the points are what count, and the guys scored, which will help boost their confidence. We have another game ahead of us, and we need to prepare for it again.”

Reece Bull (GBR): “I think we definitely got into the game. The third period was probably one of the best we've played so far. The boys started to believe in themselves, and we're in a good position heading into the next games.”
