Quotes

“I think as a team at the beginning of the tournament we didn’t come out too hot, a lot of new guys getting to know each other but now going into tomorrow’s game I think we have a lot of confidence and I couldn’t have done anything without my team mates - we are all coming together and gelling,” said Sebastian Bulovs for Team GTHL Blue. “I think just going out tomorrow and winning the championship that’s something that going into the tournament you want to do, so I think that’s our main goal tomorrow.”

“No matter what we didn’t stop competing, we worked hard and we did what we could. You know we had a couple of bounces that didn’t go our way, but we are just going to keep pushing forward and we are looking forward to tomorrow,” said Dylan Winsor for Team HNO.
