Profile Contributed By: Ken McKenna
History
Orpik, the brother of Penguins draftee Brooks Orpik, played the past two seasons for Thayer Academy in New England. Orpik picked up 20 points for Thayer in 2004-05.
Talent Analysis
A converted defenseman, Orpik has the size that most NHL clubs look for in a 4th line forward. His talent level has improved steadily, although he does not have the natural ability of his older brother.
Future
Orpik slowly worked his way into the Boston College lineup as a freshman with his tight checking style of play. As a sophomore in 2006-07, it is thought that he will claim a regular spot on the third line and shrug off the late bloomer status in terms of his position switch.
