Coach Maroney on Andy:

"Andy is a guy that will give us a lot of counter attack goals and a guy that will draw a lot of exclusions. Drawing exclusions is a key factor to our success this year, and he will provide us with a majority of them. He has been working on a several aspects of his game this off-season, and I am looking forward to him doing big things this year."
