Has the size and frame to develop into a strong power forward…displays some natural ability to find open scoring areas…can Photo courtesy Vancouver Giants drag a defender on his back when driving the net…underrated playmaker but is more of a goal scorer…has good drive and determination…can play it extremely physical if needed…plays the body when opportunity presents itself…willing to drop the gloves…protections the puck well and has a nice shot that he can get off quickly…a true battler with excellent offensive skills. Attitude questions have been raised but the 17-year-old is not cocky…he will need to add muscle before taking the next step…defensively he needs to commit to being continuously involved and not just observe.
