We know what he can do on the ice and Slammer fans can expect to see a player who wants to win and a player who competes very hard. Steve brings leadership qualities that will help us in the second half on and off the ice. We feel Steve is a big piece in our quest to defend our championships. I look forward to seeing Steve arrive, and welcoming him to the team" commented Coach Tatarnic.
