A physically thick two-way defender who love to make opposition pay a price. Loves to throw the body around and lay out guys and is even willing to back it up with the fisticuffs from time to time. Strong in the defensive zone and makes attackers think twice about venturing to his side of the ice. Skates with a choppy stride but seems to generate enough speed with it. Has some decent puck skills although his hockey sense is questionable. (May 2010)
