Luke Richardson

“It's a really great honor. It's a storied franchise. It's an exciting time, it's a bit of a rebuild, but we're looking to get better every day.”

“We're not just going to give anybody ice time. You have to earn it. And you have to play the right way.”

“I want our team to be hard to play against. That’s the identity I want to instill.”

“Communication is key. You have to be able to talk to the players, understand them, and get them to buy into the system.”

“We want to be a team that’s structured and detailed in our game, but we also want to have some creativity.”

“My daughter Daron, a very vibrant, athletic, artistic, very smart girl, just full of life. She had a great group of friends. She showed no signs, and that's the scary part of mental health illness in youth.”

“We always talked about, when we got into the playoffs, we want to play simple, hard hockey. And that's what we did tonight.”

“It’s about building a culture. Winning is a byproduct of doing the little things right every single day.”

“I think it’s just honesty. I think players want honesty, good or bad.”

“You have to have a short memory in this game, whether you win or lose. You have to move on to the next one.”

“We just try to be prepared for everything. That's our job as coaches.”

“You can't be afraid to make mistakes. That's how you grow.”

“It's not about being the best player. It's about being the best teammate.”
