Under six foot centre who has skill confidence and fearlessness. One of the Dub's hottest drafts eligible players with 17 points in 10 games by Christmas. Emerged as a solid offensive driver for Lethbridge with an emerging breakout season. His elite vision, puck control and edge work have continued to elevate his distribution skills. He has one of the highest percentages of possessions turned to slot chances, as he is in the leagues top five players for slot shot assists. Places pucks with confidence and swagger with or without the puck, knowing when it comes back he can find a teammate in the smallest of passing lanes. Atlthough considered a pass first player, he owns fast released shot from distance that can light the goal light from the perimeter. Also can score from in tight, where he is very capable of finding soft ice and opportunities. When the puck is on his stick, fans get to see a truly elite WHL player who is a transporter, distributer, and imaginative passer, and one that Lethbridge was very patient with, and it is now paying off.
