Welcome back to another Meet your Maulers! This week I had the chance to interview Maulers defenseman #16 Joseph Porco. He is 6 ft 0 in, 185 lbs, and is from Spokane, Washington, USA. I think that Porco will be a great asset for the Maulers' defense because I've seen him in practice and he is quick with puck. I am not quite sure where he played in the 2012-2013 season. He is one of the youngest players on roster but lucky for him he is one of the most skilled. I am excited personally to see him play because he has a great style of play, gets along well with his team mates on and off the ice, and has quick skates. I think that he will be good for the team not only because he has the skills on the ice but because he is a fan favorite already. Joseph will definitely be a crowd pleaser for sure! I had the great pleasure of talking with Joseph because he has a great positive attitude and is excited to be in the Zoo! Here are the questions I asked him!
