Captain's Corner - Trades, positives to season, Super Bowl

Each week during the 2012-13 season, Metro Jets’ captain Matt Stirling will give his thoughts on topics surrounding the team as it makes its way through the North American 3 Hockey League grind.

-- On splitting with the Michigan Mountain Cats last weekend.

Overall, we played well this past weekend. We got back in the win column on Friday and played better than the score reflected on Saturday. Even though we played well, we needed to win both the games and failed to do so. The points we gave up were costly and only put us in a bigger hole.

-- On if he sees any more player movement before the trade deadline.

I think we are pretty much set with the team we have. I think we have a good group of guys that when on our game can play well, but when we are not, it can be frustrating.

-- On what players have been positives lately.

(Riley) Corbin came up big for us on Friday and has played well lately. Other guys like (Josh) Hosking and (Myles) Burrough played good this past weekend as well. (Kyle) Shreve has also made a good transition to this league and has fit in nicely.

-- On how he spent Super Bowl Sunday.

The boys went over to TJ’s (Krajewski) house for his birthday/Mike Lawrence’s birthday/Super Bowl party and we all had a good time. It is always good hanging with the boys and it was a good way to recover for the three-game week ahead of us.
