Frank Fedorjaka on Cooke: "Michael is a starting short-stick d-middie along with Mark Lane, and he is our quickest defensive player. He is great at clearing the ball and is very strong for his size. He is excellent between the lines, a key to our transition game. He played a big part in a lot of important goals last year."
