Made a surprisingly quick adjustment from HS hockey to the USHL.piling on points.He is a long angular wing who finds pockets and seams for advantageous attack points as he has carving defenses at every level of competition. A high energy two way player who plays much heavier than his frame suggests. A fluid long strider with crafty edge work who processes the game at warp speed. Led Minnetonka’s state championship team in scoring and is one of most balanced, intelligent players in the region. He is an effective net front presence who is difficult to move. His high motor fuels a much heavier two way game than you expect from this tall angular body type would suggest. He is a Swiss Army knife of sorts who is adept at using his long reach for an ultra-active stick in all three zones. He is an impressive selfless player who puts team first, but you would like to see more compete in all areas of the ice as he progresses. More determination on his part my solidify opinions on his upside.
