Player synopsis: Born and raised in Manchester, England (more specifically Oldham) supporting the good ol' Manchester Phoenix. Offensive defensemen with a hard slap shot. A nifty little defensemen who can hit well despite his size, however poke checks are his speciality, taking the puck away from an unwitting forward who had the bad sense to have a go at trying to deke around him. A reasonable speed and quick, accurate passes makes him dangerous in the neutral zone and forecheck despite his defensive responsibilities. Hardworking and always plays his A game up until the buzzer whether it's sacrificing his body for a shot, making the big hit or taking the shot on goal that might send the game into overtime or clinch the victory. Being a strong team player rounds off his talent beautifully because he is not only always on the same page as his defensive partner, but also communicates well with the forward lines ready to send the puck up ice making chances for breakaways and odd man rushes.

Not the most aggressive of players but doesn't shy away from finishing his checks and getting stuck into the more physical aspect of the game. Would be reluctant to drop the gloves but would rather spend that 5 minutes out of the box and on the ice (even if he did deserve it) but there is still a line and then all sorts of hell breaks loose! =P

Off ice he has a certain swagger about him, along with his charm and good looks he is irresistable to the ladies (yeah, but I'm not really a hockey player either so y'know =P) making him a bit of a fan favourite. His general light hearted demeaner off the ice loses a bit of his street cred maybe, but why not, eh?
