Scouting Report
Always gave everything he had whenever on the ice. Was a great teammate, solid agitator and energy player. Could also play all three forward positions, which added to his overall value to a team. Was never capable of posting solid offensive totals at the National Hockey League level. Over time, his body broke down physically, mostly because he played the game way bigger than he actually was.
Long Range Potential: Gutsy, versatile energy agitator.
