Rodrigo Banes had, overall, a decent rookie season. On a team that struggled mightily, avoiding last place by virtue of a tie-breaker, finishing with a -57 goal differential, Roddy managed to finished with 38 points (21G, 17A) in 66 games. He contributed at both ends of the ice, in all situations. He finished the season with time on both special teams, went 56.5% in the faceoff circle, and had 2 game winning goals. Defensively, he contributed 51 blocked shots and 67 hits. 

While overall a decent rookie campaign, Roddy wants to focus down on the physical side of his game over the off-season. Finishing last on the Kelowna Knights in Hits, he wants to get stronger on the puck, work on forcing turnovers, and be more responsible in his defensive zone. He hopes his second season will be a step forward in all areas. Hopefully the addition of more young, high draft picked players can surround the young Center with dynamic talent to complement his two-way play. 

Next season comes with new expectations and hopes. Roddy will be called upon to take a larger role with the team, now with a full season under his belt. Expect to see Roddy killing more penalties, and likely featuring on the teams second powerplay unit again. With an off-season to add strength and speed to his tall frame, Roddy plans to continue his career as a defensively-minded center, capable of contributing plenty at both ends of the ice. What will the future hold? And more importantly: how good will Roddy B look in a Montreal sweater one day (not so) soon?
