Truly honoured to be selected by @OHLIceDogs. Thank you to everyone that I have crossed paths with along the way and those that have supported me. Especially my family, coaches, and teammates. Can’t wait to get started, in the meantime I hope everyone is staying safe. #godogsgo pic.twitter.com/t7bEoWhvzv
