Who is Toby Cook

[KRZY 416]

Who is Toby Cook you ask ? Well first things first . Toby Cook is an absolutely HUGE two way Defender who models his game after the one and only Chris Pronger . 
 

Cook prides himself in the fact that he’s hard to play against and plays the game the right way . He also gives 110% each and every shift he is on the ice . Hockey has been Cooks life since he was a kid and his put absolutely everything into Where he is today . 
 

Pros to Cooks game 

Cook can quarterback your power play he makes a good first pass and sees the ice extremely well . He’s also equally strong in the defensive zone on the ice not giving his opponents an inch while he’s on the ice

 

Cons to Cooks game 

Well all that size come with less cardio and the consequence of getting tired faster then smaller players . Cook is also just a tad slower as a result of his size resulting in the odd mis read in a play or being slower off the first step.

 

Overall there are more positives to Cooks game as a whole then negatives . Cook works hard day on and day out to get better and eliminate all the cons and holes in his game . The ultimate goal her is for cook to be a well rounded defender who doesn’t have a single hole in his game anywhere. And with his dedication and pure work ethic Cook is one person who without a doubt can make that happen ! 
 

Coming into the Season 94 draft Cook is looking to establish himself and showcase his game and show the scouts what he has to offer . Cook has a lot of promise and potential and I personally think from the outside looking in that we could be looking at one of the next great d men in the VHL . 
 

Cook had great insight into what to expect as well as he has an advantage and a person to lean on for advice and personal experience. Who might that be ? Well none other then his older cousin Todd Cooke who will be retiring at the end of this season . “ he’s been great answering all my questions and just being a good sounding board on what to expect” 

Cook is just taking it one day at time trying to stay even keel not getting to high or low . Once he’s selected and playing he knows the real work will be beginning after that .

his ultimate goal is to show he belongs wherever he plays.
