On the team's performance..."I couldn't be more proud of this team, I stressed the importance of starting strong, not only to feel good about their performance, but to get the momentum started in their favor. They did that in beating England, which helped them in beating a very good team in Poland for the Championship."
On the play of the two Comets players... "I selected Danny (Waltman) as the team captain for his leadership and experience, having played with us last summer. He set the tone for us in a 2-1 victory over England and a 4-2 victory over Poland."
