Ever since his start in the SMJHL on the Kelowna Knights, Alex Light has tried to model his game after Platoon legend Mikko Linna. Whether it was the way he skated, or shot the puck, or even some of the celebration moves, Light imitated Linna in every facet of his game.

This was because in his eyes, Linna was always the portrait of the ideal sniper forward and was always willing to help out others perform rather than take all the glory himself, even though that also occurred aplenty. Later on, when Linna moved to Center, it was natural that Light would become the winger on that line. Eventually, Light took over at C once Linna was regressing, thus mirroring him once again.

Now Light is the one that younger player on the Platoon are modelling their games and eventual careers. And in the meanwhile, he is still working his way to reach the career totals that Linna reached.
