He plays a great 2-way game , uses his size well and we feel he can come in here and put up some good offensive numbers as well. Having watched him play against us the last 3 years, it will be nice to have him wearing a Storm Jersey next year and have him on our side. We wish Marcello all the best in Whitecourt.and thank him for his contributions last season.”
Feist gave his thoughts on joining the Storm: ” I’m looking forward to playing in a Storm jersey this year. The city and its fan base is great, and I couldn’t be more excited to get started. Go Storm Go! “
