ROANOKE, VA. – The Rail Yard Dawgs announced on Wednesday that goalie Justin Gortman has been added as an emergency backup goaltender.
Gortman played three seasons of club hockey at Liberty University (ACHA) from 2012-2015, and had played junior level hockey in the EmJHL, NAPHL, and MNJHL before his college career.
