A competitive power forward, he has a quick and powerful stride with great edge work but average speed. He still lacks fluidity in his skating and he needs to improve his agility to keep up with others at the next level. He also needs to work on his stickhandling skills but he is always ready for a rebound in front of the net. He never gives up on the play and puts the effort in everything he does on the ice. He finishes his checks and is effective on the forecheck. Sound positioning in the offensive zone, he has a great shot with a lot of power behind it. Isn’t afraid to throw a big hit or crash the net and protects the puck well. Defensively, he backchecks with intensity and has great stick placement and will always help his teammates in puck battles. Plays with high-pressure intensity and that style creates a lot of turnovers that his team can capitalize on. Needs to work on some high-end skills, but he plays with heart and character every shift. He is someone who will get under the skin of his opponents and you can expect him to win most puck battles while drawing penalties from time to time. However, his skating skills and work with the puck will need to improve to succeed at the next level.
