"Joe is a defensemen that made some nice strides with us last season after he joined the team in February," Bernard said. "This will be a big season for him as he will be with us right from the outset and won’t have to play catch-up like he did last year. This a great signing for the IceHogs as it gives us some more depth at a pivotal position."
