Ability: "Joseph (Joey) is a very solid goalkeeper with a ton of potential. He is extremely athletic, quick, and fearless. Technically he has a very solid foundation and is very consistent, especially with his catching and shot stopping. As he continues to develop, I envision that he will be a goalkeeper that has a tremendous range with covering the goal and that he will be a commanding presence."

Personality: "Joey's best asset is that he is a focused player who looks to get better with every training session. He is very coachable, and his desire to play at a high level is evident in his training habits. He pushes himself in every session and he is visibly dissatisfied with any aspect of his game that is not at a high level. I always thoroughly enjoy working with and pushing him."
