Niagara Ice Dogs head coach Michael McCourt
“Freddie is one of our key contributors who is called upon to play vital minutes in all situations. He is a complete player who is very smart and is extremely responsible without the puck, and has developed into one of the premier faceoff men in the league. He prides himself on being a perfectionist and is continually looking to improve his game. He has devoted himself to becoming bigger and stronger and has added a physical dimension to his game making him that much more effective at both ends of the rink.”
