"We played a solid season opener and our work ethic was excellent," said ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ head coach David Simon. "We must continue to train hard and play with the same intensity if we want to be successful this year. Hats off to our defensive play, in general. Offensively, we must work on being more efficient in front of the net as we had 10 shots and scored only once. This needs to be improved."

±«ÓãÖ±²¥ (1-0) will host Concordia (1-1) at Molson Stadium, Friday, then head to Quebec City on Sept. 18 to play Laval in a rematch of the 2009 CIS championship gold-medal game.
