Birthplace: Providence, Rhode Island, USA

Height: 5’ 10

Weight: 170 lbs

Position: Centre

“Pass first attitude but has a nose for finding the net.. Not the physically toughest guy which could be a downfall.. Scrappy with very quick hands on faceoffs, could do much worse than this kid.. Incredibly unselfish player, puts the team before himself.. Drive to win is impeccable.. Fun guy in the locker room, but swears he’s from New Zealand and speaks with a New Zealand accent even though he’s from Providence.. it’s weird. Finds passing lanes that you wouldn’t even know were there at times.. Wicked wrist shot that should only get better with time and training.. Has all the potential in the world, but he needs the right mentality, and has to bulk up or he could be eaten alive in this league.. Definite room for improvement, but also incredibly high potential”

 

Strengths

 

Scoring: Chism has a knack to find the net in creative ways. His wrist shot, and one-timer abilities are his bread and butter, a decent slapshot that should get better in time is also in his repertoire. He may not tear the scoring sheet apart in this his first season, but the potential is there to be a serious player for years to come if he can put it all together. Could be a serious offensive threat. 

 

Faceoffs: An area Chism focuses a good chunk of his training into. Winning faceoffs to get his team the puck as much as possible, and in crucial game situations is where he can truly excel. Time of possession will never be an issue with Chism taking faceoffs. You could do much worse than this kid. 

 

Teammate Utilization: The ultimate unselfish player. While he is competitive and will score his share of goals, Chism lives for dishing the puck to his guys in creative ways to get them and the team as a whole on the scoreboard. Knows how to play to his teammates strengths. 50-60 assists per season is not out of the question when this kid reaches his potential. 

 

Weaknesses

 

Fighting: This should come as no surprise due to Chism having been in only one fight in his life. He woke up in the hospital and thought he was from New Zealand. He still swears by it and it’s a sore subject to bring up. He’s not an overly aggressive or intense individual, Chism lets his play do the talking rather than getting into it with an opposing player. If you want an enforcer on your team, look elsewhere. Chism will need to learn how to hold his own though, because guys could be gunning for him if he becomes that high level talent. 

 

Checking: This can also fall under the category of Chism not being physically aggressive. He doesn’t like to take hits or dish them out, though he has stated he’s working on getting tougher in those areas. What he lacks in checking he makes up for in his knack to find the puck and force turnovers in other ways. He should be able to get by on defense. 

 

Strength: Standing at 5’10 170 lbs. Chism is not a big specimen by any means. He has met with trainers who should get him on the right path, but he needs to get his strength up in order to last in this league. Once he does he should be an animal. What he lacks in strength he makes up for in his agility. The strength will come with the right training and mindset.

Review:

 

First off, you'll do yourself a big favour if you differentiate your headers with some bolding. The spacing and general layout are pretty good though.

hilarious

 

Strengths overall you've built the profile of a really good centerman, good work focusing on these positional-based traits, it makes a lot of sense to build your character this way.

Nice spin on that, turning your weaknesses into strengths in a more fleshed out way than saying "it will improve". Not enough people bulk out their personality this way.

 

See you in the big leagues,
