Scouting Report
Was an industrious winger who never backed down from challenges. Loved to initiate contact and agitated the opposition. Dropped the gloves on occasion. Could play either wing position. Was a leader. Was somewhat limited in the scoring department at the National Hockey League level. Played with such reckless abandon just to survive in the NHL, but injuries eventually knocked him out of the game.
Long Range Potential: Effective, fearless agitator and leader, when healthy.
