Elmira-New York native with excellent size, physicality, competitiveness and good jump and feet. A North-South skater who can get wide and go to the net or be a heavy rugged force in the high traffic areas, along the wall, and in the cycle. Besides being a handful for opposing defenseman, he has good hands as a scoring threat. He will a player who sets up between the circles near the blue paint and puts rebounds in the back of the net. A big centre who may project to wing has a really nice stride, first step quickness, and a smattering of skill. Refinement of his defensive zone commitment is in order, but you can'y overlook his pro caliber release, or how well he protects the puck. Committed to the University of Michigan.
