Well-conditioned warrior who looked impressive during the World Junior Challenge. Although he is under six foot, he plays big and displays excellent "wide" speed. That helps him stay around loose pucks, or ready to be stripped in the middle and attack zones. Will jump into small enemy breakdowns and advance them in transition. Opportunistic around the crease winning rebounds and putting them in the back of the net. A high tempo attacker that can swoop from outside to middle open lanes before you know he has re-positioned. Knocks defenders off pucks drives past checks and also takes away many pucks.
