"Cason brings size, play reading ability, and depth to our goaltending core. He's fills so much net it makes him hard to beat when he's square to a shooter. Kirkpatrick was very solid at all the skates he attended during the season, he really stood out at the prospect skate in April. It's been a long process to get Cason to commit here, we are very pleased we got him."
