The Arlington, Massachusetts native was a force at the face-off dot, winning 203 of his 451 battles, placing him 4th overall in the league.

The Mansfield, Massachusetts native finished 3rd in points for Cornell and ended with a +5 rating overall. He tallied 18 blocked shots, and proved a critical piece of Cornell’s defensive end this season.
