Frank Fedorjaka on Winter: "Austin is certainly the kind of guy who can change the complexion of a game in many different ways. He has gotten stronger and seems to be peaking athletically, and he is thriving in our new offense. He is doing a terrific job as captain, and I've been impressed with his leadership. All the accolades he has received has not affected him at all. He plays with passion every day in practice. His work ethic has made him a great player."
