 Dominic Dawes show, I'm Joe Wamba joined now with Dominic Dawes head coach of the men's ice hockey team and coach we talked about the season goals and expectations and making the playoffs was expectation number one and you guys were able to handle that. That was goal number one I mean obviously didn't end the way we we wanted it to end and we'd love to kind of still be playing but it was it was a big first step you know we need to before we're going to be able to win and win significantly we need to learn you know learn what it takes to win and the amount of work that that kind of goes into it and nothing can be given to us so it was good for us to you know to get in there and get a crack at it now you know kind of moving forward everybody everybody knows what to expect. Exactly I mean your team is so young you guys don't graduate anybody these guys are gonna remember this moving forward and moving into the postseason getting ready for you know years to come. Yeah I mean we honestly essentially talked to talk to it right after the game in terms of you know next year starts has already started and now the whole room does know what to expect and what to prepare for and what you know what kind of guys deficiencies are you know who needs to get stronger who needs to be in better shape like different things like that and now we've got you know we've got months to prepare so it's gonna be kind of who's who's doing what with no one watching is the big thing and you know we'll see as guys get through the spring here who you know who can keep it up. Yeah that's always a big point is who's doing what while nobody's watching is a big thing in college sports and the work ethic has been there for a number of the guys and as you move forward that's a big positivity to lean on. Yeah I mean when we've played well that was the key is how hard how hard we worked and how hard we can competed so I know the guys do work hard and I know they will continue to work hard we just need a little bit different level of in terms of in terms of buying in terms of what guys are doing off the ice and in the weight room in terms of getting stronger because I think that was a big thing for us as a young team I mean there's a big difference between you know 19 year old kids and 24 year old men at our level and you saw that and the guys knew it I mean they saw it on nights and so now they've got you know time to prepare and time to really significantly put the work in in the weight room to get to get stronger and prepare themselves for what it takes moving forward. Well eventually that cycle will come into our favor that way as as our men get older and that's a lot of excitement moving forward. For sure no I mean we're excited and to put the work in to take the next step but that's that's the key we've got to put the work in and the focus needs to be on putting the work in here moving forward so that again nothing's going to be given to us this is always going to be one of the most competitive leagues in the in the country and we need to prepare that that way because we've also you know we saw on nights when we were at our best and we saw it at nights when we were when we were at our worst so teams are going to come in here to beat us next year and we need to be bigger stronger faster. Well coach we wish you the best of luck moving forward on those keys of emphasis and continuing the progression of the team and I just wanted to thank you for your time each and every week and each and every post game. Thank you for taking the time and we're excited to get back to work. He's Dominic Dawes I'm Joe Wamba this has been the Dominic Dawes show.
