A power forward who uses his size and strength to his advantage. Skating is an area that needs help as he has slow feet. Generates enough speed once he gets going. Plays the game in all the dirty areas and plants himself in front of the oppositions net. Has a decent shot especially in close. Loves to deliver the hit and will drop the gloves. Enjoys causing trouble and engaging in physical battles on the ice. Works hard and uses his solid hockey sense to play a strong two-way game. Lack of acceleration limits effectiveness on the forecheck but he tries. Still growing into his body and needs to add more strength to reach his full effectiveness at the next level. (May 2010)
