“Ben is a young man I have known since his youth hockey days at the Ice House and when he joined our team two and a half seasons ago he stepped right in and made an immediate impact. As the years went on he became a guy our coaching staff could count on to be a leader in the dressing room as well as on the ice, he has been a great player for us.” Said head coach Kenny Miller
