"Aitcheson and Smoskowitz responded with only, 'No one cares, work harder,' leaving the stage after about one minute. Their responses were in reaction to not being able to bring out more players with them during the press conference."
"While it may not have been the best look for either, it's hard to fault Aitcheson in this situation. There's nobility in wanting to share the praise with your teammates, as that's what hockey players do."
"Aitcheson signed his ELC with the Islanders in March and will turn professional starting next season. The OHL Finals will begin tomorrow, as Kitchener hosts Barrie in Game 1."
The Barrie Colts completed a comeback in the OHL Eastern Conference Finals, winning Game 7 after being down 3-1 in the series. Kashwan Aitcheson, a NY Islanders prospect, excelled with 10 points, including the decisive goal. However, a peculiar postgame press conference overshadowed the victory, where Aitcheson and Head Coach Dylan Smoskowitz only stated, 'No one cares, work harder.' Their responses were a reaction to not being able to include more players and reflected the team's motto. Despite backlash for their behavior, Aitcheson's desire to share credit with teammates is commendable.
