Devils Head Coach Jarrod Skalde spoke about his latest signing.
“To put it simply, Matt is a proven winner. He has been one of the top defencemen in the ECHL for the last number of years and his defensive game is as strong as his offensive side. He has been at or near the top of the scoring charts for defencemen, an all-star nearly every year and seems to play his best hockey in the big games. He wants to win, he has done it before and has a real desire to win again, which is a big reason he was attracted to Cardiff.”
