Knights coach Josh Dunn told Saultsports that “today was a tough day, game one we didn’t have a good first period and that costed us the game. We were solid in the second and third. Game two was against a team with three or four solid players that were basically there team, I felt the game was closer through the first two periods then the score indicated and just got a bit away from us in the 3rd. Overall we are proud to make OFSAA and play in the quarter finals was a good accomplishment. It was a great group who should keep their heads held high and be proud of the season.”
“We will be losing quite a lot of guys so any of the grade 13’s moving on and grade 12’s not coming back thank you for everything this year and multiple years on the team, they were a pleasure to coach and wish them nothing but the best in the future, added Dunn.
