Clippers head coach Drew Kulcheski said his team is playing with confidence right now and it shows on the scoreboard.

“The whole 200-feet of the ice, we’re playing confident, we’re playing our game. We’re dialed in to our systems. We’re playing Clipper hockey right now,” he said.

Coming off a weekend like this and having won seven of their last eight games, Kulcheski said the team’s confidence has never been higher.

“All throughout the lineup, we’re confident. We’re playing with skill. We’re playing with speed. And they feel unstoppable right now,” he said.

As well as the Clippers are playing, Kulcheski noted there is some fine tuning that can be done.

“There’s always little fine things that we can tune up on and play a little bit more of our structure and a little more consistent. But overall, I can’t complain,” he said.

The Clippers will play their fourth game in five days when they host the Birtle/Shoal Lake/Rossburn Falcons, Tuesday at 1:45 p.m.

They embark on a three-game weekend road trip, beginning Friday in Boissevain against the Broncos. On Saturday, the Clippers visit the Virden Golden Bears and on Sunday, they are in Glenboro to play the Wildcats.
