The Central Plains Capitals are in Thompson to face Norman today in Manitoba AAA Midget Hockey.

The Caps have lost their last 3 heading into tonight's match-up, and with Norman at the bottom of the league with 3 wins, tonight could be just what the doctor ordered to get the Caps back on track. Capitals' Assistant Coach Daniel Moar talks about tonight's match.

"The atmosphere is really cool, especially for the kids. There's a lot of fans, especially at the Saturday night game. There's no easy games in this league, and they're going to be ready to go in their own barn, so we have to be ready to play."

The Caps play Norman again tomorrow afternoon, making for a tough weekend.

"It's a long bus trip. We leave early Saturday morning and we get 1 night in a hotel. So it's a good team bonding trip for everyone, and it'll be a lot of fun."

The Caps and Norman face off tonight at 7 p.m. They go tomorrow at 1:30.
