Rikaad Metzller is overall happy with his development in juniors. He has slowly worked his way up the knights defensive pairings and now gets top line minutes in all situations. Rikaad feels his game has begun to round out as his 3rd year of juniors is about to head to the playoffs. Defensively, he is extremely sound earning himself a spot on the all defense all star team, but still is able to contribute offensively with a little more than 30 points on the year. He broke his own team record in shot blocking this year despite taking a more well rounded role on the team.

Rikaad is extremely excited to coni the his development offensively. He believes his defense is near its peak for juniors but wants to focus on what got him drafted in the first place, his puck moving abilities. He sees himself as a future power play quarter back for the monarch’s but knows he has a lot of development to go offensively before that happens
