Note: Reports prior to Sept 2023 were originally graded out of ten, and also included additional categories that have been merged into the current categories.
This likely results in the overall ratings prior to 2023 being decreased in comparison to reports since Sept 2023.For an `Apples to Apples` comparison between players, we recommend only comparing reports before, or after, Sept 2023.
Results will average out accordingly as more data is accumulated.

Veteran defender who continues to contribute at a high level.
Deployed in all situations. In (22/23) he averaged the most amount of ice time of any Hurricane defenceman (23:12).
To start the season, he continues to lead the group - averaging 22:05 TOI - 15:29 ES - 3:45 PP - 2:51 PK
Never shy to join the rush offensively. Adds an extra layer, almost like a fourth forward. Rockets pucks on net from range.
His pace has fallen off marginally, but his elite hockey IQ / read and react game provides results in all three zones. Battles. Leans on opponents. Competes. Cares. Remains a top pairing 'D' on a contending team.
