Q: a couple days down and now at Reign Camp uh how much have you gotten to kind of start installing some things and and teaching the guys a little bit of how the Reign want to play this year A: yeah no we had some excellent practices this week I thought the guy’s been really really good uh I think we we are getting better every day um yes we worked on a lot of things this week uh system wise the way we want to play and uh you know it was a lot of information for the guys uh but you know what they’re doing really good so I’m really pleased with uh with the effort so far

Q: talked to Cameron gonez yesterday and you know we were just talking about the the talent level on this team what’s it been like for you to kind of see how many elite players that the Reign roster is going to have this year A: yeah we’ll see uh I I think and I really hope we’re gonna have a really good lineup and uh of course you want to see a lot of young kids up with the Kings but you know but also these guys will help us on our team and uh no but you know end of the day Talent alone it’s not going to win your hockey games and uh I think and that’s something we we have to get better um and that’s where we’re working on it already not [just] being good with the puck especially without the part 2 and yeah that’s an error we want to go around we want to improve for sure

Q: what do you think in a week like this you you just have one preseason game what are some of the keys that you as a staff try to to get the guys to you know pay attention to what are some of the things that you highlight to them that are important on a week like this A: no I mean every day is a different theme um you know epidem is a different system so the good thing is a lot of them already had a chance to play uh exhibition game over two or three with the with the Kings so that helps um during our week we try to even today even if it’s just a little scrimmage you know just for a few minutes so try to to get a game ready we do have uh only one uh preseason game so it’s not not as easy but you know we as a coaching staff we try to do our best to get these guys ready and so they don’t really have to think when when it’s game time so I think we’re we’re in uh good shape now and yeah hopefully for good results then on Saturday

Q: for you guys as a staff is it exciting this week I mean what is it like kind of coming into this week and being able to you were helping out you’re obviously on the ice during the King’s camp so you it’s not the first time on the ice with these guys but to kind of have your meetings and your plan and kind of go and have practice run your way A: for me it’s great because uh get to know the guys uh yes I was not far away but you know I never really worked on a daily basis with these guys so it’s been really really helpful for me to be around not just the coaching staff the players to get to know and know their strength and weakness wickedness so so it’s good no it’s uh it’s exciting was a really exciting week for me and I think for everyone else in the locker room too you know they all want to play it’s been a long summer it’s been a long Camp um you know including the king Camp so I think everyone wants to wants to play now
