A defense first rearguard who makes safe plays…he is not offensively flashy whatsoever…is a calming influence and is strong in his own zone…has great defensive positioning…plays with strong gaps and closes off attackers quickly…skates well and has impressive mobility…able to contain his man and play an effective game along the wall…makes a good first pass and effortlessly clears the zone even in heavy traffic… reads the play well and gets his body into lanes…very dependable. His size is a little on the small side…he doesn’t contribute much offensively. (May 2009)
