Haley is tough as nails and won't be backing down from anyone, any time soon. Haley played 22 games for the New York Rangers last season and to no one's surprise collected 50 penalty minutes.

Micheal will bring experience, leadership, and additional physicality to our organization. He's looking forward to serving as a mentor for our young players
