Joe Breschi's Thoughts About Connor Hunt:
• Connor's coming into his second year and I think he's really done a nice job of coming in this year in shape and getting physically stronger and tougher.
• He had a good fall. I think for Connor it's about continuing to improve his foot speed and stick skills.
• His one-on-one defense has certainly improved and his physical play has been tremendous.
