Adelbert Steiner is a strong-bodied two way Defender playing out of Toronto, Canada. Originally born in Manchester, England, he faced an uphill battle to ever be considering in contention for a role on the greatest stage of all, the SHL.

Overcoming the challenge of battling it out in a minor European League, Steiner showed great heart in developing his skills across the board in an attempt to prepare himself for the next level. Already showing development of excellent puck handling skills, as well as a commanding presence on both sides of the ice, Steiner profiles as a player with high potential to develop into a true workhorse for whatever team is willing to give him a shot.

One of the often overlooked facets of any player when choosing to analyse their potential as a prospect is that of their mental game. Simply put, Adelbert Steiner plays to win. He doesn't play for points, or a statline, or personal glory. He plays to see the dub on the board at the end of the game. Whether this means bringing a bolstering locker room presence, strategic designs or a rock solid steady performance on the ice, he puts his full mind behind the task at hand.

As a player, he profiles as the kind of big-bodied Dman who should excel particularly at a minor league level. The total opposite of a one trick pony, any team taking a flier on him in the Season 71 minors draft should find themselves with an immediate plug-and-play option in a D Line. If he keeps developing his positional reads and puck movement, he could turn into a generational playmaker in time.
