The son of John Stevens is a creative centreman who thinks the game well and can stickhandle in a phone booth. He has a high hockey IQ and it shows in his competition. sees the ice and distributes the puck well on the give and go. Plays poised and calm. Has average speed at this juncture but a nice stride. He needs to be a whole lot stronger. Fearless in the dirty areas and very competitive in all roles he is asked to perform. Blocks shots.
