Scouting Report
Loved to play a physical game from behind the blueline. Kept things simple and knew his limitations. Was a willing pugilist and solid team player, overall. Had extremely limited offensive acumen. His skating ability was also rather suspect. Struggled when lined up against shifty forwards. Injuries were an issue.
Long Range Potential: Physical depth defenseman, when healthy.
