This season went pretty well for 3rd year Tampa Bay Barracuda defenseman. As the second most experienced player on the blue line, behind Jakub Hamr, Cuddes had to take on a lot of responsibility on the blue line and build chemistry with his now and future teammates Colin Lambert (his linemate), Jorg DuBolk, Igor Victory, and 2nd year Elwulf Jericson. I’d say that goal was accomplished as Cuddles scored 5 goals and 19 assists on the season. He also helped his offensively oriented partner Colin Lambert, a rookie. Ambacas was a steady presence behind a rookie who still had a lot to learn defensively. This really allowed Lambert to show his strengths and be able to make mistakes. Lambert scored 28 points on the season which is great numbers for a rookie defenseman on a non playoff team. Cuddles had some great defensive stats, with a 17/39 GA/TA ratio as well as 149 shot blocks. He also maintained a 67 defensive game rating.
