Getting to know a Mauler
Player #2 Corey Schafer
Welcome back to another Meet your Maulers! This next blog will be about #24 forward Corey Schafer. He is a returning veteran of the team when he was playing in the 2011-2012 season but then he played in the NAHL with Wichita Falls and Johnstown last season. Corey is 5 ft 9 in, 185 lbs, and is from Johnstown, Pennsylvania. In the 2011-2012 season, he had 21 goals in 47 games played, 35 assists, 56 TPs, 106 PIMs, and a +/- of 20. He is a very good player and has great qualities both on and off the ice. On the ice he connects with his team mates, scores the goals, racks up assists, and isn't afraid to back down in defense of his team mates or his team. Off the ice he is great with fans, treats them with respect, and generally is a good part of the community. It was a pleasure to speak with him and get to interview him. Here are the questions I asked Corey! I hope you all enjoy it and keep up with each player!
