I'm just surprised at the timing a little bit. The bottom line is, I just hope the people of St. Cloud can appreciate what a great job Craig did in ushering St. Cloud into Division I and into the National Hockey Center and increasing attendance from about 2,000 a game.

Our seniors are crushed, and it's always hard to go in the locker room after that last game. But I think we got as much as we could out of this group. You don't have to be the best all year, and they are the better team.
