"I just love being around the city. I love playing at the DCU (Center) in front of the fans... I've been saying it for a few years now that I want to be a part of something special in Worcester and bringing a championship team and a winning team back to the city. I feel like I do owe it to the city and the fans." (Photo Courtesy of the Worcester Railers)
