Noel Nordh

Big Swedish off-handed right wing with size, soft hands and scoring touch and plays a power game. Has good top end speed to beat defenders off the rush. His speed is more build-up than immediate. He is strong and determined in puck pursuit, fighting through checks to wage puck engagements along the boards and in traffic. Has nice hands in the tight spaces. Although he still doesn't read all plays or see the ice completely, he generates tons of offense by getting to the front because he is so difficult to move out. He is not much of a playmaker except for the fact he uses his wide body and strength to anchor and follow point shots/saves that become rebounds in traffic. His hand-eye co-ordination is excellent at getting deflections & tip-ins in the course of staking out and causing defensemen fits. A high energy attacker who drives the front often, but doesn't seem to see the game well, so he chases the play a lot.
