"It's the main stage – the peak in college," said the Toronto Maple Leafs' Jason Blake about playing in the Frozen Four and winning a national championship with North Dakota in 1997. "The greatest moment in college sports on the ice. It was the best experience in my hockey career so far."
"The big thing is preparation," said Boston Bruins defenseman Andrew Alberts, who played in the 2004 Frozen Four as a senior at Boston College. "Know your opponent and your strengths going in (and) play to those strengths. The biggest thing is controlling the emotion your opponent brings at this level."
"Both my years (at Michigan), we played in the Frozen Four," said Montreal's Mike Komisarek, whose Wolverines came up short of a 10th championship in '01 and '02. "So having another chance for them to win a national championship is sweet."
