"We are very proud of Jeff's accomplishments and recognition this past season. He has been a tremendous leader for our team both on and off the ice, both in practice and in games. Every night he gave our team an opportunity to win with his play, and his efforts and leadership skills made us a better team overall," said Suffolk Hockey Head Coach Chris Glionna.
