Pro's:

-Faceoffs have always been key...very few games I figure I've been below 60%, although I couldn't tell you for sure because I don't keep an exact total.

-Shooting, wrist shot, slap shot, snap shot and backhand....best part was/is, they're all fairly accurate. I love adding a little sauce on my passes too :D...actually tonight, I banked a pass of the net to one of my guys, and after the next whistle the goalie skated over and was like WTF, his dman responded with "a freakin crazy pass!"

-Size has never really been an issue....6'1, 220ish....

-Willing to chuck'em if need be...fighting = fun :D

-Also willing to take a major beating in front of the net...although my hip is killing me now because of too many cross-checks to the lower back area.


Con's:

- Skating...definitely not a good thing :cry: I'm not slow, but my acceleration sucks, and my top speed isn't so great...it's average or so...I was a good Jr. B player lol

- Hands - HORRID...I really don't have hands. AT ALL...once in a while I'll pull something out of my ass, but generally, I just like to bang and crash and knock in the
garbage.

---------

My stats this season are alright...Currently sitting 67pts in 26 games good for the 7th overall in league scoring....PGRHL Scoring Race....this isn't including tonights, or a previous game yet though

Pros: I have at least AHL caliber passing ability and can stickhandle better, and more creatively than most people. One on one against the goalie, I can't be stopped. I am good enough that I can as they say, "Stickhandle inside a phone booth". On top of that I have really good vision, hockey sense, whatever you wanna' call it.

Cons: Slow as hell. Me vs. a snail, my money is on the damn snail. I also am less physical than I could be for a guy my size. I also am not strong enough.

pros: Great open ice speed. Solid goaltending skills too, with a wicked glove from 6 years of little league. No fear of shots, good side to side, great at "down and up", some ability to play the puck. Average power but accurate wrist shot (I could probably go 3 or 4 for 6 on those target thingys. Absolutely fearless and competitive as hell. Think Messier. I would do pretty much anything to help my team. Can skate backwards alright, but not good enough to play defence, so its either forward or goalie for me, with the nod for goalie as the better position.

Cons: Slim frame (135) Short (5'11) are the main ones. Not much stopping ability (as far as skating goes), but I get the job done. Weak technical skills, raw unpolished player. Stopped playing regularly at 16. Terrible lungs from switching hobbies from pucks to pot in high school.

Pros: terrific stickhandling\skating ability. lightning-fast with or without the puck. good pokecheck. good passer. decent vision. can score pretty easily when i get in the open.

cons: accurate shot=weak, strong shot=inaccurate. tall and skinny makes me easy to knock down. pretty easily stripped of the puck. not the best in my own end.

Cons: 5'11, 190! Poor positioning in my def zone, catch too often deep in the offensive zone. Very average skater. Descipline and decision making. Ouffff... the last one was tough to confess....

Pros: PP and PK specialist. I'm (read was :D) a pretty good passer with a booming shot from the blue line. Pretty tough in front of my net, I was a dawm good fighter too. And yes, PK specialist! When I had only D to think off, I was'nt bad at all.

Cons: For the life of me I can't skate

Pros: Wicked glove hand (thanks to baseball), good instincts (I had to resort to trying to make it in the professional street hockey league as a goalie)

I play exactly like Ales Hemsky. I'm a right winger, i have a pass first attitude, and i always put on a show with my flashy moves (mostly the toe drag or the Forsberg move through the stick) but no matter how close i get to the net, i always find myself passing and giving the easy goals to my teamates. I've been scouted by some WHL teams but i think i'm going to university instead.


My pros:
I'm young, playing AAA hockey. I'm a 2-way froward and I play on the PK as well as the PP. I have a stocky build ala Mike Peca and i dish out hits with the best of them. I lead my team in points and assists but no where near leading the team in goals. First liner all my life and leader in the room, i can pull off moves that i don't know how i pull off but do anyways. My teamates used to say i play like Andrew Cassells, but after watching Ales Hemsky they started comparing me to him.

My cons
Horrible skating ability. My skating will keep me from taking hockey to the next level. I'm extremely fast but skating just isnt my forte.
I don't shoot often, and even when i do, my shooting isn't really up to par with the people i play with. I score when i'm set up for one timers and when i'm on breakaways but that preety much it. On other hockey situations i ussually just pass than shoot.
I'm extremely agressive and that ussually leads me to take bad penalties.

Pros: Always the smartest player on the ice, great vision and outstanding passer, solid in both ends of the ice.

Cons: Not selfish enough, not very physical (for a d-man), sometimes hung onto the puck too long trying to make a play, and partying...
