To be a part of the staff to help Kris [Ward] and the players to make a positive push till the end of the season and hopefully into the playoffs. These are exciting times in a season when you're playing for a playoff spot and every game matters. I just want to thank Ben [Olsen] and the organization for the opportunity and hopefully I can share my experiences to help the team."
