Ty's Take
"With the significant injury to Zack, we needed to quickly address our goaltending depth. We knew Salvatore from his time in High School Hockey at Country Day in Michigan. Thankfully for us, Salvatore was very interested in the opportunity we had. He was having a very good year in Junior Hockey and will fit in nicely on our team."
