A strong two-way defenseman who can skate. Not going to blow you away with ash and dash but does have the skill to carry the puck, see his options and distribute the puck efficiently. Is mobile in all directions and while he does not possess elite speed he does have some jump and quickness. He can play aggressive when needed and physical as well. Plays a safe and steady defensive game, taking what he is given and not trying to make things happen that are not there. Has good offensive upside as his vision and hockey sense are good. Was able to pick apart his weak prep school competition this year and he needs a bigger challenge which he will get at Yale. (May 2011)
