Ever. They just keep coming at you. They don’t understand how talented they are, they just don’t quite get it, they just put their heads down and they go, and they play and they work hard.” Atema scored 13 of his 22 in the final quarter. “We were so balanced you could not key on one guy all year,” said Hoglund. “Jonny was the guy who picked us up in the final, but he was our fourth leading scorer all year.” Hoglund added that team defence calmed his troops. “When shots aren’t falling you just tell them to keep getting stops and everything will be good. These guys listened. These guys bought. They don’t fight me, they listen and they understand where you’re going. They just have so much character. We missed a bunch of shots and we played nervous, understandably. Our defence held us in, we played outstanding defence, which is probably our best attribute.” The Tigers finished 39-1 on the campaign.
