I created Blanchet with a powerforward build in mind. I'm a big fan of the way someone like Getzlaf plays the game. He's a big responsible center that plays a physical, playmaking game. That's pretty much what I wanted to model Blanchet after (although he is currently playing at wing for the Platoon). That means it was important for me to have a strong physical build with good checking. My player's Balance, Strength, Checking, Hitting and Stamina have always been some of his highest attributes and I think that has made him effective in just about any role. Passing is another important attribute for Blanchet's game. Last season in the SMJHL his playmaking really rounded into form and he put up 54 assists for a new SMJHL record while playing in the center between KEKW Kekkonen and Artemius Nystrom for the Raptors. While speed was never a big part of Noel's game as a center, he may decide to work on his skating now that he is playing at wing for the Platoon.
