A strong mobile defensive defender. Not ashy or possessing of high-end offensive gifts but is a meat and potatoes type who will give you honest minutes every game. Strong, despite not be- ing overly big, and willing to use what he has. Uses physical play to check attackers and pin them to the end boards or side wall. Feisty competitor who will get in the face of the competition after whistles and keep everyone honest. Keeps his game simple and plays a strong defensive positional game. Has the skating and mobility to keep up with the fastest OHL forwards. Makes a strong outlet pass and pushes the puck up ice effectively. Likely not ever going to contribute much on the score sheet but will help keep his opponent off it. (May 2011)
