Who else is pumped to see this stud play at the NHL level ? He comes from a Family full of Talent, The Dunne's. If you haven't heard of them then you must live under a rock in the Roller world. Josh's Two older sisters, Jessica who played D1 hockey at Ohio State, and Jincy, team captain last season for Buckeyes, currently playing in the PWHPA . Two younger sisters, Josey and Joy, and a younger brother James. Josey Currently plays D1 Ice Hockey for Univ. Minnesota Women's team. Must be something in the water in MO the talent that has been coming out of that state is absolutely ridiculous.
