Scouting Report
Works his tail off every shift and does not know the word 'quit'. Displays a two-way game and can also put points on the board. Is a low-maintenance forward. Does not have ideal size for the National Hockey League game, so he will need to add more bulk and get physically stronger so as to maximize his pro prospects.
Long Range Potential: Sound, hard-working forward with some upside.
