“It’s a great way to start,” Roadrunners coach Steve Potvin said after the game. “You definitely want to start with a win. I think a lot of us had goosebumps before entering the ice.
“Unfortunately we miss the fans, but just being around the game and have an opportunity to compete really got us excited.”
