Tall OHL left defender who plays on Mississauga’s top pairing. Is a balanced four-direction skater with upright skating style which doesn’t detract him from being and excellent backward skater. He close on attackers well. Sees time on the penalty-kill but the PP is where he is an offensive standout. He relishes joining the rush and being a QB. Still working on not getting caught flat-footed in transition, displaying better gap control, and reading the defensive coverages in his en. Some might question whether his high end attack skills will translate beyond junior to have success as a finesse-type player. What is certain is that he currently already displays sharps edging, quick pivots, vision, excellent offensive hockey sense. His calm composure taking care of business in his current level is solid with passing skills and excellent vision.
