Madigan on Jozefek: "Grant is a young man who this year was the 12th leading scorer in the USHL. He played two years in the USHL, the first year he went through some growing pains but he got better and better. He’s an offensive player, really cerebral, and will remind you a little of a McMurtry and Roy who were cerebral. He’s a playmaker who over the last year has become more of a shooter, and he plays really well with any type of player. We are excited about him coming to Northeastern. He played for a coach that we know from Lincoln, we’ve had six or seven players come from Lincoln and we’re thrilled to have him join us."
