"Right. It feels right. At the beginning of every season, it's our goal to win the conference championship. Anything less feels like a disappointment. But in order to win a championship, you need to be in playoffs. We've done that. Maybe we feel we could've been higher up the table or earned different results over the course of the season, but in the end, step 1 is complete. We are here. And we are ready to battle. To win the title this year, wyere going to need to be defensively sound, mature and we need to believe in ourselves. We've given up too many goals this year, and when we've been successful, it's been due to a stout defensive display. We are a young team, so it's important now more than ever that we show maturity in our matches, making the right decisions and playing a disciplined game. And we need to believe that we have every chance to do this, just like any other team. We've been on a good run, so the belief is there. And win... We need to win in order to advance" said Coach Wysocki of the 2019 regular season and post season.

The Blazers finished the regular season 5-10-3 overall and 3-3 in conference play.
