“Joey is a strong skating, puck-moving defenseman who we identified as a core piece of our build for next year,” says Director of Player Personnel Al Dorich. He continues to say, “He adds a skill set that can make plays to our blue line and checks a lot of boxes we value here in making a successful team. His character and work ethic are a great fit for our program.”
