COACH’S QUOTE: “Part of our success over the past three seasons has been his leadership. He’s been a great captain who always knew when he had to push the guys a little bit or lay off. As far as his individual talents, he’s a tough-nosed forward. He definitely has the quickest release and hardest snap shot I’ve seen in nine years of coaching in the Federation.”
