Always led by example. Was tenacious on the forecheck and a very hard worker. Also owned a decent pair of hands and defensive acumen. Could play in all game situations at the National Hockey League level. Was not overly big or strong, so he had a tendency to pay a price for his tenacity with a great amount of lengthy injuries. Was not a natural finisher, so he could go into prolonged scoring slumps on occasion. His career ended prematurely due to injury. | |
Long Range Potential: | Versatile, industrious winger and leader (when healthy). |
