Joe Nardella had his best professional season since the 2020 Championship Series in 2022.

Nardella ranked second in the league in faceoff percentage at 65%, trailing only MVP Trevor Baptiste. He produced one of his best performances yet early on in the season versus the Waterdogs in Charlotte, winning 22 of 26 faceoffs.

Nardella's consistently been one of the best at the stripe for years now. He's strong on the clamp and pushing the ball into transition off a clean exit. He led all faceoff men in win percentage after the clamp with an impressive 89%, and though his clamp percentage was only 44.1% this season, it didn't matter. Nardella also led the league in faceoff win percentage after losing the clamp, at 47.2%.

A consistent, dominating force, Nardella is a big part of the foundation of what makes the Whipsnakes such a powerhouse.
