ALL STAR D-MAN BACK IN TOWN

Newly named assistant captain Steven Seigo is happy to be back in town.

RH: How was your summer?

SS: aw it was pretty good. You know tough, regular summer, work out quite a bit.

RH: Did you end up going somewhere pretty special this summer?

SS: Yeah, I went to Salzberg, Austria for three and a half weeks before I came here.

RH: Just for training or did you do anything interesting while you were over there?

SS: There is a pro team over there called the Salzberg Red Bulls and for a week and a half I was with the juniors and then the pros showed up so for a week and a half I was with the pros. It was just a training camp, usually two times on the ice with a work out later in the day.

RH: Did you hold your own against those guys?

SS: Yeah I think I did pretty good. They seemed to like what I could do. I felt up to speed and some of the guys were a little bit stronger than me but I felt like I could hold my own.

RH: You have committed to going to college but is Europe somewhere you would eventually like to play?

SS: It’s great to do in the summer and maybe after college or if the NHL doesn’t work out right away or if it doesn’t work out Europe is always an option. It’s a great place to play and it’s real nice over there.

RH: Let’s talk about this camp. How are you feeling out there after a couple games today?

SS: Pretty good. I just got off the plane about 40 hours ago so I’m still feeling a little tired, a little jet lagged and the legs are still a little tired but I feel pretty good out here. There are a lot of good players but I’m keeping up.

RH: You’ve played a couple games with team Green now. Is there anyone standing out to you?

SS: There are a couple good players. Marc-Antoine (Juneau), he got a couple points in the first game and I think a couple more this afternoon. He’s pretty quick, looks pretty good. All those guys on the team can play hockey.

RH: What’s it mean to you being named assistant captain this season?

SS: It’s great. Coming into this year it’s what I wanted. It’s a big responsibility and I feel like I’m up to the challenge. I just got to go in with confidence and just help lead the team.
