Even with the strong results, Kesler says the level of play was closer than the scores showed.&nbsp; And he appreciates the opportunity for his players to experience new teams and different arenas. \u201cWe play the same 10 or 15 teams all year long,\u201d says Kesler. \u201cThe ability to play against some high-level talent that we normally would never see is fun for the kids.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kesler is coaching his son Ryker who also likes the opportunity to share the West Coast with his teammates. \u201cThe team loves it here,\u201d says Ryker. \u201cIt\u2019s
