| Scouting Report |
| Gritty forward with skill. Solidly built player who works hard in
the corners, along the boards and in driving the net. Skates well, but
is and has an excellent shot. Has excellent hockey sense. Plays well in
all three zones and does a lot of little things well. Like most young
players, needs to improve consistency. Good all-around athlete. |
| Quotable |
Not real big or overly flashy, but plays with a bulldog mentality,
and once he locks onto your ankle, you're not getting out of his grip.
Thickly built fireplug competes his bag off every shift and either
outworks or overpowers much bigger guys in the corners in battles for
loose pucks through sheer desire and determination.
