Hard working attitude and a willingness to do whatever it takes to win…not a flashy offensive guy but will fight for loose pucks and plays a simple dump and retrieve game…is a smart player…has some good abilities in the offensive zone…can shot the puck and has a nice selection of shot all with good releases from in close…lives in traffic areas and fights for positioning when he is most effective…has a quick stick and makes good passes…is solid in the face-off circle…has good hockey sense and displays good positioning on the defensive side of the puck…a feisty puck smart player. Skating is just average although his straight line speed is adequate…he needs to improve his first few steps…has a limited offensive upside, he does not possess flashy skill or many one-on-one moves…his playmaking skills are limited to in-zone passes…limited creativity and looks more like a complementary player at the next level.
