History
Gordie Baldwin registered 11 points during the regular season as a rookie with the Medicine Hat Tigers and finished the year with a +13 rating. Although he dressed for 66 games, his average ice time wasn't very significant but gradually increased over the course of the schedule. Playing behind Cam Barker, Steve Marr, Cody Blanshan and Kris Russell didn't offer a lot of extra time for Baldwin but when he got the chance he played well enough to catch the eyes of some area scouts.
The 6'5 195 lb Winnipeg native is a physical specimen for the Tigers, a banger that plays sound hockey in his own end and is clearly at his best battling in the trenches of the corners and in front of the net. There is plenty of room on his frame to add 30 pounds and once he does, Baldwin will be even tougher to play against.
Talent Analysis
ISS (June 2005): He plays the body well, uses his size well in front of the net and can really move the opposition forwards. His foot speed needs work; he's slow at the WHL level. He definitely plays tough, there's no doubt about that. He got better as the year went on. He's a big guy that needs to catch up to his size. He started to play tougher as the year went on too. I'd like to see him drop the mittens a bit more though.
