In a press release sent out by the Storm, Head Coach Matt Keillor praised the clubs newest forward.

“Jackson is a big, great skater and is a natural shooter that can beat goalies clean. He’s hard on sticks, great on the forecheck, and finds ways to create offense off the cycle. I think opponents will have their hands full trying to contain him down low and at the net. Having someone that was a part of a championship team will be a big boost to our locker room; the Minnesota State Championship is arguably the most prestigious U.S. High School Championship in North America, and Jackson delivered when it counted the most.”

Savoie and the Storm will be on the ice for training camp at the end of August.
