SCOUTING REPORT
Big import Centre-wing with good size and powerful stride who plays strong on the puck. A very good small area passer and is committed to a 200 foot game player with really excellent North-South quickness. Very skilled with good anticipation, and good offensive instincts. He has been able to slide up and down the Red Deer lines and fill in all on-ice roles and situation on the PP or PK. He tracks loose pucks and can carry them and separate himself from the opposition's traffic. Can and will take shots, but is more of a playmaker and although not an excellent lateral player, he displays good edging and reads plays well as a defender and is an agile attacker. Is strong in his arms and was a essential player in the top six while playing for Dynamo as has continued to be for Red Deer.
