“It is challenging but the more positions you start to play and develop in as a player, the better you get and the more adaptable a player you can be to more teams. It always different when you play with your back to goal, as opposed to running at defenders.

“They are going to pass out the rings in front of us, which is not classy. But, at the same time, they deserve the rings they are getting. We missed an opportunity to handle the business.

“It was a little bit of payback but at the same time they've got the rings and we don't. This was just a little battle that we won and hopefully we can add upon it ... but you can't really say that this is as good as a ring.”
