Examiner.com: Meet the Ams — Drydn Dow
By Rene Ferran | Examiner.com
Drydn Dow knows he’s not going to make the highlight reels for the Tri-City Americans for laying a punishing hit.
The 5-foot-9, 160-pound defenseman just hopes for the chance to make the reel. After playing in just 30 games a year ago for the Americans, he’s been in 36 of the team’s 54 games this season, matching his two goals of a year ago.
“Yeah, it’s a bit frustrating, but you’ve got to be a team player,” Dow said. “You’ve got to stick it out, stay positive and help the boys.
“I’ve just to go out there and be an offensive D-man. I know that with my size, I’m not going to make the big hit, but I’ve still got to finish my checks, stay in position and put myself between the puck and the net.”
Dow also does a good job of avoiding the penalty box. He has just 10 penalty minutes this season.
