Dear 67s fans,

As you may know, Im not the type of coach who likes to look too far ahead. Around here, we take things practice by practice, game by game.

But when thousands of you are in the stands, bringing the noise and firing us up, we cant help but get excited about how loud The Arena at TD Place will be for the playoffs this year.
Im not going to lie to you, the playoffs are a long, tough battle and were going to need you every step of the way. We want what you have given us all year: a loud, positive atmosphere that pushes our players to give everything they have.

That passion is contagious and helps us live up to our #NoQuit philosophy. That passion is what helps push Tye Felhaber to score 59 goals, Cedrick Andree to win 30-plus games and Marco Rossi to shine in his rookie OHL campaign. The noise you make has helped us earn the honour of battling in the OHL Playoffs.

We know what comes next. We know what the ultimate goal is. But for now, its one game at a time.

Bring on Game 1.
