“Joey has been a really good player for us when he has been in the line up this year. Joey is a highly skilled forward who sees the ice very well. Joey has shown the ability to be coachable and dependable in his own end, having a good understanding of defensive concepts. He is a dependable penalty killer. His instincts and quick decisions make him dangerous on the penalty kill as well. Joey has demonstrated the ability to make the big play or score the timely goal. He plays well in traffic and will finish his checks. Joey is a player who wants the puck in key situations of the game. If the game is on the line he wants the puck on his stick.”
