Profile Contributed By: Glen Erickson
History
2005-06: Holloway, who was born in Wapella, Saskatchewan, scored 21 goals and 13 assists in 72 games last season. In his first season in Seattle, Holloway played regularly with veteran Nate Thompson (BOS). This season, due to injuries, Holloway found himself playing with a variety of forwards.
2006-07: After a slow start to the season, Holloway came on in the month of November. The right winger showed why he is one of the better two-way, well-rounded players in the league. Holloway didn’t go more than two contests without landing on the scorers’ sheet, with 65 points (27 goals, 38 assists), 50 penalty minutes and a plus-20 rating. Holloway was rather quiet in the playoffs, but will have another season with Seattle to take his game to the next level.
Talent Analysis
A solid leader with a good work ethic, Holloway brings a well-rounded game to his team. Able to bury the puck and defensively aware, Holloway is the type of player that can pressed into duty at any point in the game and under any circumstances. A valuable commodity on a third line and on the penalty kill.
Head Coach Rob Sumner - “He has pretty much done everything here for us these past couple seasons. He played regularly as a 16-year-old and just didn’t give us any reason to keep him out of the lineup. He’s very reliable, understands the game and can play on both wings.”
Future
Holloway will spend some time developing in the WHL. He is a hard-working forward that could be a real asset to an NHL third line. If he can develop his scoring, Holloway may be a surprising prospect in the end. A hard worker with leadership qualities, Holloway is slotted to return to Seattle for the 2007-08 season where he should be expected to take over the reins as captain of the Thunderbirds.
