Trust in my game and trust in, you know, what we do in Abbotsford.

And, you know, something he always touches on is being a good teammate, being a good person around the rink.

And that's something that, you know, I feel like I've been able to learn from him.

And because at the end of the day, he's the guy showing up every day and,

um, you know, talking to everyone, making everyone feel welcome.

And, you know, there's, yeah, he's an amazing guy and, and, uh, he's, uh, it's, it's hard to put into words what he's, you know, done for me in my career.

And I'm, uh, you know, I'm just very excited to, to get to keep working alongside him and, uh, you know, and Manny and, and all the staff I've had throughout my time in Abbotsford, uh, you know, training staff, equipment staff, and,

Even, you know, coaches prior to Manning, too, it's been special.

And I'm, yeah, like I said, Ryan's obviously been the spirit of all that.

And, you know, I just, yeah, obviously really appreciate everything he's done for me.

And I'm just excited to get to keep working alongside them.

Yeah, Manny is a great coach.

Like I said about Ryan, I got nothing but good things to say about Manny.

He's very assertive and very firm in what he believes.

He gets a lot out of his players, which is all you can ask for in a coach.

He wants the best for every single guy in the room.

Whether you play a bunch or you play a little bit, he's doing stuff in the best interest for the guy beside him, not for himself.

I think that's

that's obviously a big part of his leadership and shows, shows the character that he brings to a, to a room.

And, you know, he's, he's, he's fun to be around.
