SCOUTING REPORT
A player that has to be viewed as one with upward trajectory. He is a huge kid who continued to show improvement the entire season. In the BCHL he shut the other teams top lines down night after night. Has a hard point blast. Not a great passer, and will never be a point producer. There's no better stay at home defenseman in the league. He keeps the attackers to the outside with his stick, closes gaps, and uses all of his size on attackers so they can’t get through. Smart in his end and relentless. He can make that first play out of the zone, and plays within his limitations as a carrier and attacker. Committed to the University of Denver.
