Before going to college, he spent a pair of seasons with the AJHL’s Brooks Bandits, helping the team capture the 2019 AJHL and RBC Cup Championships while earning Top Team Goaltender honors with a 42-2-0 record in 44 games.
The Swamp Rabbits continue their “three-in-three” against the Mavericks today with “Kid’s Day”, presented by Armada Law. Puck drop is slated for 4:05 p.m. EST and features a mini-stick giveaway on the Furman Plaza pregame.
