My build compared to last season is pretty different. Going into my third season in the SMJHL I was able to bump up my total build to 425 TPE from 350 TPE which really gave me some more room to play with. For starters, my offensive stats really improved. Getting open, puckhandling, shooting range and shooting accuracy were bumped up a few levels. Tig put me on the first line with Teddy and Cal so I am hoping I can get myself open and put the puck in the net more this season. My Defense kind of evened out compared to my last build. Bumped up my checking, but decreased my hitting. Defensive positioning was increased as well. If i’m playing top 6 minutes, I have to make sure I can play D as well. I decreased my shot blocking, hoping that my offensive skills will keep the puck in their zone and I won’t have to be blocking too many shots. In the physical area, I bumped up my Acceleration and speed hoping to get more breakaway opportunities. My stamina was also bumped from 12 to 13 once again making way for those top line minutes.
