COACHES VIEW:
"He has spent the year rehabbing his injured knee and is expected to be ready to go for the winter pre season. Jack is naturally a very smooth feeder, quick shooter, and has a very deceptive first step in the dodging game. With a full recovery, he should be a vital cog in our team offense this year." - Coach Thiel
