Joe Breschi's Thoughts About Jimmy Dunster:
• I think this will be an exciting year for Jimmy.
• He's probably the most athletic player on our team. He runs the field very well and plays both ends of the field extremely well.
• He doesn't have the pressure of the world on him this year because with our improved depth. He's going to be able to play relaxed, more fluidly if you will, play within himself and take advantage of the opportunities that he has.
• He doesn't have to start our offense every time and he doesn't have to be the guy that scores two or three goals.
• He's really taken on a leadership role so that's been a positive for us so far this year.
