build

My 425 build has a little extra offensive juice to support first-line skill forwards, but is much heavier on the back end. Stronger on the skates. Faster in the neutral zone. Snappier in the defensive zone. Harder on the puck, harder on the stick, harder on the body. More effective in the dot. At 425, I plan to be a devastating force on the backcheck and through the neutral zone, crushing skill forwards and enabling breakouts for my wingers. Blocking shots is secondary; my goal is to separate players from the puck before a shot can even happen. Up the offensive side I plan to be useful but not a play driver. On special teams, PK1 all day every day. I expect nothing more than the top billing in the league among penalty killing forwards, ending power plays before they can even set up. Surrounded by skilled shooters on the wing, I'm positive this brutal build will complement Vancouver as I grow into my Junior year.
