A gritty and feisty competitor who plays blends some offensive skills with this edge…he has a hard shot and a quick release…impressive strength and loves the physical game…he possesses nice vision and soft hands…battles it out in front of the net…can deliver pin point accurate passes. Weakness: Has an underdeveloped skating stride with lots of wasted energy…his straight line speed is only average…plays a high risk game with his passes…tends to let his emotions get him into penalty trouble…needs to play a more consistent game and continue more in his own zone.
