Hi Guys
I'm a guy from Switzerland that plays the game and my position since many many years, I was also playing in clubs in the past. After two years abroad, I'm back now and frustrated by the missing understanding of the game in CHEL drop-in. 🙂
I'm a defense first minded two-way defenseman. My major strengths are excellent vision and positioning and I rarely get beaten 1-to-1. I'm a very good poke checker and shot blocker and have a great outlet pass but can also carry and protect the puck. I'm not the greatest shooter, but I run a powerplay very smoothly in a quarterback role and when I shoot, I look for deflections or rebounds for the forwards.
I do hit as well but I do it rarely because I think it should be the last option as a defensemen. To many time people miss their hits and then are out of position, leaving the goalie exposed to a 2-on-1. I almost never fight. If needed, I can play RD as well and I'm not bad at it either, but much more comfortable on the left side.
So if anybody is looking for somebody like that, let me know
