They Said It…
Chicago Wolves Head Coach Spiros Anastas discussing what the organization is looking for at an event like this…
“The biggest thing we’re looking for is trying to establish our style of play. Whether they’re guys we’re going to see in Chicago, or guys who are competing for a spot here with the Canes, or prospects that we’re going to see in the future. It’s just the style of play, the habits, the expectations. Wins and losses aren’t that important. We went 0-3 (at the Showcase) last year, and I think both of our organization’s teams did pretty well. So, we’re not too concerned about that, but we are going to dive into the video to look for those habits and those styles of play that we’re trying to establish.”
Goal-scorer Zachary Lansard on getting acclimated to the organization after getting drafted this summer…
“It’s been great. It’s something I’ve been looking forward to and working toward for the last few months. Getting here and just trying to take everything in, from how guys treat each other and everything else, I want to take it back to Regina and kind of be a leader there. I’m just trying to take everything in, have a smile on my face, and enjoy the week here.”
Defenseman Charles Alexis Legault on his explosive start to the day and how he takes his game to a new level this season…
“Just getting back into it. I thought the best way was just to get physical. Hockey’s a physical game, and it kind of turned me on a little bit. I think I play better because of it… I play a physical brand of hockey, so just being physical consistently, and after that, playing a simple brand of hockey as well. Just keeping it simple, making the plays that need to be made and don’t try to do too much.”
