Big left handed Right wing was a very noticeable in this years World Junior Tournament Under-20 where this strong on the puck winger displayed all-out effort, super aggression, every shift. He got many pucks on net, showed creativity, good hands and slick moves. Never quit being strong on his stick, and was hounded puck carriers, made many a turn over and was easily the most competitive penalty killer playing forward on any team in the tournament. Intimidated opposing defenders due to the fact he was like a freight train not slowing for the crossing gates. Extremely disruptive forcing puck handling mistakes with his relentless forecheck and being such a noticable heavy hitter and was a presence in each match.
