Thunderbird coach Ryan Vetrie told Saultsports that “I thought the group put together a good weekend. We were able to pull out that first overtime win and different players had to step up all along the way. We fought hard for the majority  of the weekend and we had an opportunity in the second game to pull ahead, but we just couldn’t get the offence going late in the game. Overall I was happy with with our performance and look forward to our next tournament.”
