Matt is one of a number of very successful goalies who developed in the SJHL before advancing to the NCAA Division I level.

Matt graduated from St. Lawrence in the spring of 2014 with a degree in Communications.

For the 2014-15 hockey season Matt and his family lived in Sudbury, Ontario where he served as the Goalie Coach for the Laurentian University Voyageurs men’s hockey team at the CIS level.
