He’s always going to be working hard to help the team win.” - Coach Dennis Vickers

Levente Pakozdi // Class of 2023 // Linda M. Barnes Most Improved Player Award Recipient

“We truly could have had a number of guys win this award. Everyone progressed so much from the start of the year to the finish. However, Levente is someone that really stood out and played his best hockey at the end of the season. Right after Christmas, Levente started to take the next step and earned a lot of additional ice time and responsibilities as the season went on. Well deserved.” - Coach Dennis Vickers
