DYHA and the Phoenix Firebirds would like to congratulate Justin Hermann on accepting his Tender offer to play for the Minotauros of the (NAHL).

Coach Collins stated that Hermann Is a very strong powerful forward who loves to hit! His poise and defensive maturity are beyond his years. Hermann is a gutsy, two-way forward with speed and leadership qualities. He has the versatility to play center and wing, power play or penalty kill, scoring line or a checking line.

Hermann has huge upside , Despite growing up in a non-traditional hockey area, Hermann's potential as future junior and College player is probably more tied to being an all-around player who contributes at both ends of the ice . Hermann is one of the top penalty killers on the team.  Hermann has led the team in PK ice-time, and is not only fast but plays with absolutely no fear, blocking shots and sacrificing his body is a big part of his game. Hermann is a team Player that will do whatever is asked of him. Hermann plays with a ton of heart and determination and his presence on and off the ice are second to none.

I am extremely happy for Justin having to have such a wonderful opportunity.

--Todd Collins, Midget U18 AAA Head Coach
