A small darting forward. Skates well with quickness in his feet and an ability to cut to the middle and change direction easily. Small but hard to get a bead on when bigger checkers are looking. Has nice hands and a quick stick but lacks high-end vision and anticipation. Is creative with the puck and has the tools such as a good shot, passing ability and drive, to succeed at the Major Junior level. Cannot battle with the big boys along the wall due to his lack of strength but does continue to go and try, winning his fair share through sheer determination and hard work. Needs to add more strength. Always seems to be involved in the play but currently lacks the high-end offensive skills to be a scorer at the NHL level. (May 2011)
