Captain's Corner - Winning streak, showcase in Blaine

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 what he did for Thanksgiving.

Just went home and took the time off to recover. The break is always a good time to rest the legs and the mind while doing other things besides hockey. I think it came at the right time so we can now prepare ourselves for Blaine, Minn.

-- On the mood around the team during the current four-game winning streak.

Yeah, I think we are clicking really well right now as we have won four straight against some teams that were also playing well at the time. This is encouraging as we can see our play start to change and know that we are playing well for 60 minutes.

-- On this weekend's NA3HL Showcase in Blaine, Minn.

This trip has been much anticipated by many guys for a while now. The important part is that we take it one game at a time and progress from there. The showcase is a long weekend for us and we need to prepare ourselves for it.

-- On what he's most looking forward to this weekend.

I’m looking forward to the games, obviously, as we need to continue winning games to keep going in the right direction. I also am looking forward to the time spent with the boys on the bus trips and over the weekend.
