Pat Svoboda gave a statement to the press following the conclusion of the VHLM regular season.

 

“Wow, it’s hard to believe this whole thing is really over. What a great ride it’s been; I’d like to thank my teammates for being amazing to be around, management in Ottawa for handing me my first contract and giving me a shot, my coaches for being patient with me and giving me ice time, and the fans for turning out to support us. Especially near the end, I saw some people wearing Svoboda jerseys, which made me feel awesome. The city of Ottawa is just such a welcoming town and a great environment to start your career in, so I’m glad I came here.

 

“We may have had a losing record, we weren’t really even close to breaking even, but we’re in the playoffs, so whatever the standings say, it’s not over yet. I think I personally have grown a lot since I first came to North America, so I feel like I can play my best games in the playoffs. I’ve saved my energy and my strength; playing only part of the year helps with not being fatigued. I’m ready mentally and physically, and I think the rest of my team shares my sentiment. We may be underdogs, but don’t count us out. We’re ready to bring the Cup home. Go Lynx go!”

We already won the first round against Vegas, so we're off to a pretty good start
