Interview with forward Brett Morrison of the Gatineau Olympiques

BOUCHERVILLE, Saturday, November 25, 2006 – This week, the official website of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League presents an interview with Gatineau Olympiques forward Brett Morrison.

<i>What were the goals that the coaching staff underlined prior to the start of the season?</i>

"Well, the coaching staff didn’t want to put the bar up too high, so we didn't go over any specifics. But, they have kept on us to exceed expectations."

<i>It’s your third season in the League and you’ve enjoyed a great start. Any specific reasons why?</i>

"I’ve worked hard with the coaches to improve over the past two seasons. They’ve been a big help, and experience is definitely a big factor. Also, it helps to play on a line with Claude (Giroux) and Viatcheslav (Trukhno)."

<i>What do you think is the team’s biggest weakness?</i>

"I think we’re pretty good from top to bottom, but we tend to get off to slow starts in some games. We usually rebound quickly enough though."

<i>What do the coaches do between periods to motivate you?</i>

"We generally go over the game plan and make adjustments. The coaching staff lets us know what we need to correct to be successful."
