“We are extremely happy for Todd and his family,” said head coach Mark Lotito. “Todd has worked extremely hard this season, continuously being one of our top players.”

“Todd is a skilled, hard-nose player with a great shot and will make an impact at Sacred Heart,” Lotito added. “Most importantly, Todd is a great person and a team player who is constantly leading by example. Sacred Heart is getting a good one.”
