A solid two-way defender that plays with high intensity…plays a physical game and looks to step up and deliver hits…plays with strong defensive positioning…has good vision and passes the puck well…he skates well and has good overall mobility. Has only average size and will need to add more strength…needs to close his gaps quicker on attackers as he often leaves them too much space…his shot is a little below standard with regards to accuracy.
