Eckford Info


http://www.gonanooks.com/artman/publish/TylerEckfordHockey.html

Coach MacMillan says ... "What's amazing is that Tyler was drafted as a defenseman and he has played that position for only one season. That is a tribute to Tyler's ability and skill. He's young and still learning, but he's getting better each day and there's no doubt his best hockey is ahead of him. With his size, speed and skill with the puck, Eckford can play physical for us and be an integral part of the our power play. That's a special player. We're definitely very lucky to have him in our program and working with him to reach his ultimate goal of playing in the NHL"
