While waiting to face Poland, coach Mike Keenan spoke into the ITU microphones, briefly analyzing the performance of a team that, by his own admission, He is going through a very important moment of growth.
“We continue to focus on our growth – Keenan said –We’ve had to build an identity and style of play in a short period and as a coach we’re happy with the responses we’ve been getting so far: we definitely have to try to get away from the penalty area, but also in this case we’ve reacted well with penalties, we know special teams are a big part hockey success“.
