born 5/86
current team syracuse crunch (previously with boston college and moncton)


this is the kid i was pimping preseason. power forward. maybe next year or the next he might be ready for the nhl. (07-08 or 08-09) depending on when he can devlop to id say about 210ish. plays hard-nosed, gritty. causes losses pucks all over the ice. great acceleration with a powerful stride. good vision and good passing skills. has wicked hard shot. hes not freddy mo, but his release is much quicker. nor his he feds in his prime. but still has a heavy twig to let his booming slapshot off with.

interesting thing is struggles on the wing and looks more at ease at center, but with that shot hes a winger. projects as a tweener between a first and second line winger. most likely in our situation is second line down the road.

some interesting stuff about him. played for the u-18 us team at 16. went to college at bc as a young 17 year old. in what i have been told with struggled with "maturity issues" he left bc. (a lot of kids leave college hockey to play in the chl. [ill point out that this year kevin montgomery of osu a avs prospect left osu midseason to go play for the london knights]) its something that at 17 i dont think many people are ready for.
