Speed has always been an important attribute to my players. I want to zip zap around all the other players. Vroom from coast to coast and get 1 on 1 with the goalie for a good breakaway. If you look at the current scouting report of my player on the SHL website, it’ll have me at a 16 for speed and other attributes higher. Quite frankly, this may be accurate to the eye test, but deep down, I know that I am a speedster at heart. I prioritize my skating and its what I focused on so much during my early years. I thought if I could be faster, I could hit harder and be hit less often. I get out there and try to build some space between me and the defenders. It’s a different approach than some others take, but speed, acceleration and balance are very important to me. These will keep me zipping around for many seasons.
