The Roadrunners are excited to have goaltender Jimmy Packee back for his third season. Packee, the 19 year old from Fairbanks AK. will be a huge part of this years team. In 15 games last season Packee carried a 1.57 GAA and a .944 SV% with 4 shutouts and went 11-3-0 over those 15 games. “Jimmy was on top of his game last year and has made a statement on where he wants to be this coming season. He will have some stiff competition from the other goaltenders but if he stays hot it could be a huge year for everyone.” states Roadrunners assistant Coach Sam Romutis.
Packee will hopefully fill the void left by Krys Jakubowski as he has decided to forgo his last season of juniors to attend college. “Jimmy is an awesome kid that is just fun to be around. The guys love him and support him 100%. He has been with us coming on three seasons now and I look at him as one of my kids for sure. I guess you can say I am a Jimmy Packee fan!” added Head Coach Mike Beavis.
