In both years in Casper he competed in the playoffs with a total of six points (1 goal and 5 assists) in 10 games.

"Roanoke was a fun place to begin my professional career. I am a power forward and I like to play a physical game. I spoke to Coach Clarke and he told me about what a great community Elmira is and I really want to work with him. He sounds like a great coach in a great community and I am excited to play there."
