Americans Quotes:

Colton Hargrove: “Obviously it’s an honor to be voted Warrior Hockey/ECHL Player of the Month. I’m very grateful, but the coaches and my teammates have put me in a place to be successful all season, and when your team is successful, everyone wins. Our team has come together over the last 10-15 games, and we’ve made a huge push to get back into this playoff race and we hope to continue to do so throughout the rest of the season until we solidify that spot in the postseason.”

Chad Costello: “He is a great leader in our room, and he leads by example on the ice.  Colton (Hargrove) is one of the top power forwards in this league.”
