Coach Healey expressed his enthusiasm for having Joey back, stating, “I am happy that Joey is able to join us for another season. He showed veteran leadership throughout last season. He works extremely hard and is a leader by example. He does a lot of little things that aren’t in the stats book but helps his team win games, and that is something I am always looking for in a player.”
Joey Tavernese’s return adds depth and experience to the Heat’s offense, and his commitment to the game continues to inspire both teammates and fans alike. Known for his dedication and goal-scoring ability, Tavernese will play a vital role as the Heat head into the new season.
