Physical dplayer in the VHL who is an aggressive defender. Plays more of a stay-at-home game, but understands the offensive side. Far from a polished player, but already plays with an edge. On April 18, 2013, the IIHF Directorate Disciplinary Panel has issued a two-game suspension from the first two games of the IIHF Ice Hockey U18 World Championship to him for a check from behind on Viktor Rydberg during an exhibition game against Sweden. He is a big aggressive defender with mobility and strong physicality. NHL teams passed on his in the 2013 Draft.
