The North York, Ont. native routinely played top two minutes and was the anthor on the back-end for the 67’s D core, that showed immence improvement as the season progressed.
His point production increased by 34 points from his rookie campaign to his sophomore year as a 67, showing his growth and adaptability to higher levels of hockey.
