During his senior season at Michigan State, Goodsir was one of seven individuals to be honored with the B1G Sportsmanship Award for the 2021-22 season.
“Adam will add some much needed goal scoring to the lineup,” Smotheman said. “We started the year as one of the highest scoring teams and throughout the course of the year we’ve fallen away from that. He’s a guy who absolutely has a nose for the net and knows how to put the puck in the back of it. We’re looking forward to putting him in the right opportunities to do that for us.”
