Frank Fedorjaka on Finnell: "Sam is coming off a terrific fall season and enters the spring as our starting goalie. He has the potential when he gets on a hot streak to be very good and take over a game. This fall he did a great job leading the defense and clearing the ball, which are huge priorities for us. Sam has spent two full years behind two veteran goalies, and now he is re-learning how to mentally prepare himself for games."
