Coach Thibault on the season: "It has to be considered a total success. Obviously, everyone wants to win a championship, and only one out of 13 teams can. Did we accomplish a lot of our goals? Most of them; all but one."

Chris Sienko: "Our goal is to win championships. We may have over-achieved last year, reaching the Eastern Conference finals. We wanted to get better and get back. We realized midway through the season we were a pretty good ballclub and we had a chance of going further than last year."
