"Both Jake and I are doing really well right now, he's a veteran from last year who's been helping me progress. Right now I'm still focused on improving my skating, that will help me to both stop the puck and to maintain good pace throughout the game." - Goaltender Isaiah Saville

"Isaiah has been a steady presence in the net for us, and that's what you want to see from both of your goaltenders. He and Jake have done a good job with that this season, they put in the work, and that's a big reason why we are we are right now. Last weekend was not an easy weekend with us going into two road games against in state rivals. We needed guys to step up, both of our goaltenders made saves for us down the stretch in each game." - Head Coach Anthony Noreen
