”-I was more ready. I knew what I was getting into. When I got called up I had a confidence I didn’t have the first season.”

– ”80-85% is the mental side. Being in the present. With the right frame of mind playing becomes easy.”

”-It’s more give-and-go. [..] I like the small ice and I’m starting to get a grip on things. I feel great because I know what I need to work on to grow my game.”
