Scouting Report
Was sound technically and had a very calm demeanor, which was ideal for backup duties in the professional ranks. Proved capable of dominating lower levels. Did not have ideal size for the goaltending position at the National Hockey League level, so he could be beaten upstairs. Stamina was also an issue for him.
Long Range Potential: Depth goaltender.
