They said it
“It has been great getting back into game action. It has felt like forever, and obviously there is going to be some rust to get rid of for all of us, but it’s really good that we have 8 pre-season games before the season starts. I am sure we will be flyin’ by the time the regular season gets going” – Spruce Kings forward Andrew Seaman
