Highlights: Sound Bytes: Head Coach Troy Mann: “When it comes to Bibeau, his biggest quality is compete. He comes to work every day, and he wants the net. I think when you become an older player, you come to appreciate the game, maybe a little bit more than a 20-year-old or 21-year-old he wants to stay in the game, he wants to play in the American League, and he doesn’t want to go ECHL. When you’re signed to be the number five guy you’re in a battle of your life. So that’s been his approach for the most part. He’s done a great job and helped us get wins. And that’s all we can ask for based on what’s been going on really since the five-minute mark of game one.” Ticket info: Tickets for all Belleville Sens home games are available via Ticketmaster or at the CAA Arena Box Office.
