His blood traces back to an absolute hard rock beast of a fist fighter in his father, Kerry, and he is undersized physical centre position who also plays a hard heavy style. A smart aggressive and disruptive forechecker who maintains balance and stays with the puck. Creates turnovers because of his style and his questionable stick work, as he is one nasty piece of winner. Keeps his stick on the ice in the scoring areas, and attacks the crease fearlessly hard. Keeps ticking after he has taken a licking too. Will pivot and explode with the. Puck towards the net in one motion. Makes good breakout of his end with crisp passes and plenty of mustard. Think of your favorite smaller NHL pot-stirrer…and feel comfortable with the fact you may seeing this kid in the future.
