      JP is a young defender fresh out of Highschool, hailing from Mississauga Ontario. When drafting JP a General manager has a lot to consider, so hopefully this report can help influence your decisions on this playe

 

     JP is a large body that isn't afraid to throw a hit or block a shot. Surprisingly as a defender he thrives on the powerplay and plays with much more confidence when the opposing team is down a man. This fact can be seen clearly as after the 62 games played mark in the VHML JP had 5 goals, 4 of which were scored on the Powerpla
