Daniel Bell Goalkeeper Senior Brampton, Ontario Notre Dame

1

"Daniel received an unexpected gift from the NCAA as he was allowed to compete for a fifth-year. DB brings a wealth of experience and talent to the Bulls. His presence strengthens the goalie position, as the Bulls will have two talented goalies that can play equally, the Bulls must make the best of this unique situation. As the season develops, Bell s job must be to keep the defense on an even keel. When playing between the pipes, Daniel Bell will have to deliver his best performances yet." - John Astudillo
