He also was second in games played (93) and shots attempted (230), third in points (87) and shots on goal (113) and fourth in goals (28).
GRFC President Matt Roberts on the signing “We are very excited to add Jake to the squad this season. He is a player we have been talking to for some time and weren’t sure what his plans were but when he decided to stay here in Grand Rapids we knew he would be a great addition to the team. He is a very pacey winger who can score goals and chip in with assists as well”.
