Option 2: While not being tiny, Nor Ge is what could be considered as a small player at this level, because he is only five feet and ten inches tall, which is below the average of most high caliber hockey leagues. His small height combined with his weight of 185 pounds means Nor is something at a significant disadvantage when he gets into a board battle with other players. To compensate for his lack of size, Nor uses his brain to try to get the best out of his opponents. Often, Nor will try to optimize the chances of his team getting out of the board battle with the possession of the puck. He will slow down, let the other player get in front of him and then immediately pin this player down on the board with his leg. This will give an opportunity and time to another player of his team to come and take the puck away to start a transition.
