HEAD COACH MATT THOMAS:“Jesse is a player who brings a lot of potential that we’re excited to sign. His college head coach, Brendan Whittet, spoke highly of his hockey sense, two-way game and speed – the third item serving an area we’re looking to improve on. He’s demonstrated an excellent ability to make his linemates better. We feel the sky is the limit given his ability and potential opportunities to produce at the pro level.”
