Scouting Report
After spending a couple of seasons in the Ontario Junior Hockey League (Junior A), he was passed over completely in the NHL draft before enrolling at Merrimack College. A strong freshman campaign helped him greatly improve his prospect status. Skates well (with and without the puck) and displays a strong hockey IQ. Can produce points as well as play a physical brand of hockey, although he does need to fill out his solid frame completely for the pro game. Is a bit of a late-blooming defender.
Long Range Potential: Solid, all-around defenseman with some upside.
