"My experience in Traverse City was a good one. I met some new guys and we came together well as a team winning the tournament. It's a great honour playing for the Dallas Stars in a tournament like that. I got to play with some good players like ex-Seattle Thunderbird Aaron Gagnon and Fabian Brunnstrom, a new player to the Dallas organization who they are very excited to have. I've been through one day of main camp now and it is pretty different seeing all the NHLer's walking around the same dressing room as you. It's an awesome feeling and I'm excited to skate with the guys for the rest of camp."
