Weight: 250 lbs

Nationality: American

 

Pros:

 

Shooting: Biggie Cheese had a near VHL-ready knack for scoring the moment he left the VHLM, and he will only continue to improve as he ages. His wrist shot makes him a threat from anywhere down low and his powerful slap shot makes him a lethal weapon from the blueline. His slap shot also makes him a pain to deal with on any powerplay. He’s been the cause of many broken shin pads. Cheese is able to deliver the puck to the net with deadly accuracy, regardless of how he chooses to send it there. He tied the league lead for goals in the Junior Showcase playoffs, an impressive feat.

 

Defensive IQ: Cheese is a workhorse on the blueline and has the potential to be a top pair player. He played massive minutes in the Junior Showcase for the Royals, logging more ice time in both the regular season and the playoffs than any other player. Biggie Cheese is also not averse to using his big frame to block shots. He again led the Junior Showcase in both the regular season and playoffs in the blocked shot category.

 

Skating: Biggie Cheese doesn’t have the greatest agility due to his large size, but he has great balance which pairs quite well with his great shot. What Cheese lacks in agility he makes up for with speed however. For such a large player Biggie Cheese has blazing speed, and his quick acceleration has left many opposing defensemen in the dust. This speed combined with his quick, powerful wrist shot is a nightmare for opposing goaltenders to handle.

 

 

Cons:

 

Strength: Biggie Cheese is somewhat weak for his large size. In some instances his lack of strength can cause him to be beaten by the forward, despite his superior positioning in the defensive end. His lack of strength is more apparent against opponents who are good at playing on the boards. If he hopes to compete at the VHL level he will have to bulk up at some point.

 

Passing: Beyond the basics, Biggie Cheese is not much of a passer. His passes are usually on the mark but he doesn’t have great vision for making elite level plays with the puck. Cheese recognizes his own flaw and if he has the opportunity to shoot, he will. Goalies can use this to their advantage, but in many instances it doesn’t matter anyway; Cheese’s shot is simply too good.
