Five first period goals was enough for the Cochrane Generals to force a Game 7 in their series with the Medicine Hat Cubs.

“I wanted to help out in some capacity … I’ve met some pretty awesome parents along the way,” said Tuite, laughing that by the end of hockey season she is ready for a break, but can’t help but offer up her managerial capabilities by the start of the next.

"I was speechless. I couldn't get a word out of my mouth," Oakey said. "It had been such a far fetched dream for some long so when I made it I didn't know how to react."

"The next few weeks are going to a ton of fun. I can't wait to leave it all out there and just soak it all in with my teammates."

"I think we've got to get our feet moving and finish hits to gain some energy going as we had in Game 1. We did that and played our game (in the first game) and it got the boys going and we were relentless out there. We just got to find a way to get the energy going so we can play our game."

In other words, this should be a close series, as it has been between the two teams all season long.
