Andersson has been through the ups and downs with Huska, he would be great choice as the guy who can get the team to buy into the coach's message.

“Our first year, it’s no secret, we didn’t get along very well,” Andersson said. “I came in, not in the best shape, we had a few battles here and there, but it all got me to this point and if he wouldn’t have been that hard on me, I don’t think I would have ever changed.”

“You learn a lot from watching video with him,” he says. “He sees the game really well and he’s so good with the details so it feels like you’re developing all the time, every time you have a video session with him, or have a talk with him.”

“That second year I came in in better shape and we had a really good relationship and it all led me up to here and now, we have an even better relationship up here. He’s easy to talk to and he lets you know when you do good and when you can do stuff better and that’s what I like,” Andersson said. “You see both parts of the game, the things you can develop and the things you do good. He’s been really good and I really enjoy playing for him.”

Also comments from Mangiapane:

“Honestly, to me as a person, to me as a player, he’s meant everything,” Mangiapane said. “I went in there as a rookie. It was tough. But it’s what you needed. He was strict but he was also attentive to details. He wants you to succeed.”

“Tough but fair,” Mangiapane described. “He’d bring you in and show you good clips, and show you some bad clips, OK, you need to work on this, you need to work on that.”

Hathaway:

“He’ll pull you in his office for one clip. At the time you may think hey, this doesn’t mean a lot. But time and time again, it always seems to come back to help,” Hathaway said. “It’s that repetition. Knowing what the right play is. You won’t always make the right play at the right time, we’re all human. But at least try to make the right play and to know what the right play is, I think that’s what he’s helped a lot with. He’s a supportive coach, but he’s detailed and he’s critical in a way that helps.”
