- Saul (22 Yrs.): My grandmother always referred to the universe as the Great Mystery. Mystery that fill us with awe and wonder. It is the foundation of humility, and humility is the foundation of all learning. So we do not seek to unravel this. We honor it by letting it be that way forever.
- Evan: Have you ever wept, Saul?
- Saul (22 Yrs.): No.
- Evan: You need to find a place where you can, here with us or on your own... but you need to find it. Your silence is killing you.
- Saul (22 Yrs.): They called it a school, but it was never that. There were no grades or examinations. The only test was our ability to endure.

- Saul (22 Yrs.): You drink down, because after all the roads you've traveled, that's the only direction you know by heart.
- Saul (15 Yrs.): They got shocked seeing Indians skate. Think it's their game. Not ours.
- Virgil: They play for the same reasons we do, the feeling. Nobody owns that.
- Saul (22 Yrs.): One day, my great-grandfather, Shabogeesick, walked out of the bush leading a strange black animal. Our people had never seen such a creature, and were afraid. It is a horse, he told them, and it comes bearing great teachings. A thunder will crash through our hearts and minds, and we must learn to ride the horses of change. It is what the future asks of us. Our survival depends on it.
- Saul (6 Yrs.): He says your new name is Aaron.
- Lonnie (9 Yrs.): I have a name. My father's, Lonnie.
- Saul (6 Yrs.): He says his... He says Lonnie is his dad's name.
- Father Quinney: The Lord God is your father now. Your human father has nothing more to offer you.
- Lonnie (9 Yrs.): He's a trapper.
- Saul (6 Yrs.): He says he's a trapper.
- Sister Sara: He's a heathen.
- Lonnie (9 Yrs.): He's Ojibway!
- Fred Kelly: I'm 26. I've been working graveyards in the freaking mines since I was 16 years old. You gotta give it a shot for all of us!
- Virgil: If you don't go, you're a coward. Let it beat you without even trying.
- Buddy Blackwolf: And if you stay, I'll be the one doing the beating.
- Saul (22 Yrs.): What if I don't cut it?
- Fred Kelly: You will.
- Saul (22 Yrs.): You believe that?
- Fred Kelly: I ain't the one that's gotta believe it!
- Virgil: My dad never talks about the school. Mom neither. And they don't say nothing about what happened before that. Same as you. Maybe this is your chance to rub the shit off the board. Once and for all!

- Jack Lanahan: The great players are conjurers, Saul. They become one with the game, and it lifts them up and out of their lives. That's what happens to you, isn't it?
- Saul (22 Yrs.): Yeah.
- Jack Lanahan: You're gonna make it to the show and you'll be a role model for your kind.
- Saul (22 Yrs.): My kind?
- Jack Lanahan: Yes, an inspiration!
- Saul (22 Yrs.): You don't know a damn thing about me.
- Jack Lanahan: All I need to know is you got a gift like no other. I've seen you on the ice. I know what you can do, I know how it makes you feel, and I'm not blind to the fact that it's killing you not to play the way you can.
- Saul (22 Yrs.): You got no idea what kills me or my kind, do you?
- Sister Sara: His leniency is in clear contravention of our ideals and practices.
- Father Gaston: There's a difference between leniency and human kindness.
- Father Quinney: That shot he made at the White River game. That was a minor miracle.
- Sister Sara: How does this miracle help him with the rest of his life? Does it support his inner strength, his faith in God? When the hockey ends, he'll have nothing, he'll be in Hell.

- Virgil: We just got a challenge from another white team. Everybody's gonna want to play us.
- Buddy Blackwolf: Guess those boys like getting their asses kicked.
