Sheldon Keefe on Ilya Lyubushkin joining the fold: "I really enjoyed coaching him... He plays the game hard and honest... He's a right shot, which allows things to settle into place and is where the additional boost comes from"

He is ultra-competitive, physical, and strong, and he doesn't back down to anyone or any situation. He plays the game hard and honest.

Part of it is what Boosh himself brings. Part of it is how it impacts the rest of the D core. I think it is a good move and we are happy to have him.
