"I am honored to make the All-USHL Second Team, and I want to thank all of my Tri-City coaches and teammates for helping me. I am looking to get stronger for next season, and win a National Championship." - Forward Trevor Connelly
"Trevor Connelly is one of the top forwards I've ever had in my career, simply put he is an offensive weapon that would consistently evoke fear in the opposition the last two years for our club. You could always count on him to be the best player on the ice and someone to truly enjoy watching."- General Manager Jason Koehler
