A hard working two-way winger that outworks everyone else on the ice. Has great character and is a real team-first guy in the locker room. Strong forechecker who disrupts many breakouts with his non-stop motor. Finishes his checks and plays with a strong physical edge. Strong skater with incredible balance and leg strength. Might not be the fastest skater but has explosive acceleration. Has some nice offensive abilities as his numbers can attest to but his offensive contributions at the next level are in question because of a lack of creativity and vision. (May 2010)
