VHL Comparisons (Episode 1): Mason Richardson

[Kendrick 4,741]

 

When it comes to the game that closely resembles any NHL player, Mason Richardson is often compared to Shea Weber. Mason and Shea contain a build that is very hard to play against in both ends of the ice. Weber has a booming snapshot with a great defensive mindset. Mason's shot is not quite amazing in regards to power but he sure knows how to put the puck on the net. The physical aspect is something Richardson has prided himself on improving and it's one of his biggest assets. Weber and Richardson both have a good leadership quality and have been captains at various levels of play. Shea is the current captain of the Nashville Predators and Richardson is the current captain of the Oshawa Generals. Both Weber and Richardson have represented their respective countries at international tournaments as well. Mason still has a few years to go to catch up to Shea in experience and also needs more accolades, but the sky is the limit for the California native.
