Danville, IL - The Danville Dashers are thrilled to welcome another important member to this year's team- goalie Joe Sheppard has re-signed with the team ahead of the 2020-21 season.
"It feels great to resign with Danville and I am really looking forward to the upcoming season with the Dashers," Sheppard told Dasher media. "I got a taste of being a Dasher towards the end of last season and I really enjoyed my time with the team."
