Quotes about lakeland (15 Quotes)


    Not this game. Not the last two games. The first game, I think we did. I think that was part of our problem. Lakeland is extremely talented and Steve has done a wonderful job with them. Those girls wanted it badly and it showed. But we weren't vulnerable today.

    I have to admit, it was ugly. But a win is a win. I don't know what happened out there. Our shots weren't going in, but our team really wanted to get to Lakeland and it feels good to know we're going to state.


    While clearly it was a good business move with a very visible headquarters in the city's center, one of his goals was to help redevelopment in downtown Lakeland. He clearly saw it (the potential) before others did.

    That was some of the best hockey we played was earlier in the year. I hope we get back to that because we've been struggling lately. I thought we had a good effort at Lakeland (in a 5-1 loss last Tuesday), but we're still capable of playing better hockey.

    I hope they'll revisit that and put more thought into the teams that are hurt by this. Down here, they're putting too many powerhouse teams into one district, and any of those five or six can play in Lakeland. Lumping them all together like that, only one is going to come out.
