He was named the recipient of the 2015-16 Curt Hammer Award, presented annually to «the USHL player who distinguishes himself both on and off the ice by demonstrating outstanding performance skills, pride and determination.» The Lakewood, Ill., native won a bronze medal with Team USA at the 2014 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament, finishing with two assists and six penalty minutes in five games.
He's also played for the Laval Rocket and Chicago Wolves in the AHL before returning to the Griffins prior to this year.
