Profile Contributed By: Guy Flaming
History
2006-07: Another of the strong draft prospects on defense, Plante began the season slightly below the radar in Calgary. He became a steady and consistent contributor for the Hitmen and made his presence felt with a strong second half. He benefited from Alzner's absence during Hockey Canada exhibitions and the WJC, using the opportunity to earn additional ice time down the stretch. Plante scored eight goals and 30 assists in 58 regular season games.
Talent Analysis
At 6'5, 220 pounds, the native of Brandon, Manitoba is a dependable defensive blueliner was successful in imposing himself physically on attacking forwards.
Moves the puck very well and has a rocket for a shot, a combination that allows him to be either the QB or the trigger on the power play.
Skates well but sideways mobility is an issue that smaller, shifty offensive opponents can take advantage of. Still growing, could end up being in the 6'6, 240 lbs range.
