A Centre-forward with nice size and girth and power to his stride. Strong face-off man who can use his big frame to set up below the face off circles. Has very good hands and touch. Uses his frame to keep attackers away and to gain position. He needs to use his size with more grit along the boards, and needs to add to his initial skating burst if he wants to continue his upward spiral. Scored four times in the Five Nations U-18. —Bill Placzek—
