With it being the first game back from the Holiday break Assistant Coach Kris Mallette is ready to get back at it.

鈥淲e鈥檙e definitely excited to be back. Anytime you can step away and try to shut your brain off for a few days, and get reacquainted with family and friends who often take a backseat during the hectic season, it鈥檚 great,鈥 Mallette said.

Mallette believes the team just needs to continue to tweak minor details to keep their success going.

鈥淲e鈥檒l need to continue to build on our success and fine tune our systems through repetition and attention to detail,鈥 Mallette said, in a press release. 鈥淲e know that the second half is where we need to be dialed in to try and set ourselves up for what we hope will be a long playoff run again. Kamloops has been playing very well since their start and had a very successful Eastern road trip so these division games are huge and we need to be ready and worry about our team game.鈥
