John Donair is looking to make a name for himself as a two-way forward, having as much success on defense as he tended to on offense against lower competition. While Donair realizes his physical stature gave him the advantage on many exchanges on the NA3HL, the competition at the SMJHL and SHL levels is quite a bit more fierce, so he'll have to step up his vision and puckhandling skills.

With regard to specific stats, some goals and assists would be nice. Donair likely won't be lighting up the scoreboard, but he will be around the net setting screens often, so the occasional tip-in seems inevitable. A shot block or a hit per game would be a nice goal to set moving into his first SMJHL season.

Off the ice, Donair is simply learning the ropes of the Outlaws organization--their history, their former greats, and what makes them a Cup contender nearly every season since the team was formed.
