Post match comments from Jackets head coach Craig Jean, "We made good decisions tonight. The 2nd half we played very well and had some nice unselfish passes that lead to great chances. It's a lot of fun for players and coaches when we are not only winning but the entire team is getting playing time and everyone is making plays and creating scoring chances. We have 24 players who all want to see each other succeed and are all working hard for same goal. It makes the journey a lot of fun especially on a night when all 24 play to the best of their capabilities. Our starters have put in work all year, tonight I thought our young kids did well. Abdul settled down and played well. Justin Mitchell made great, unselfish decisions and left nice ball across the face of the goal. Logan Walton and Nick King made great plays. You could see improvement in our backups tonight and I'm glad since they do work extremely hard to become better."
