"I'm both honored and excited to join the Dubuque Fighting Saints and contribute to the organization's tradition of excellence," said Fortuna. "I want to thank Trevor Edwards and Evan Dixon for entrusting me with this opportunity. I look forward to working alongside them as well as the entire organization as we aim to return the Clark Cup home to Dubuque."
