History
2007-08: Posted 1 goal and 8 assists in 52 games with the Spokane Chiefs. Was traded to Medicine Hat in the off-season.
2008-09: Posted 8 goals, 16 assists, 74 PIM, and a minus-13 in 72 games with Medicine Hat.

2010-11: Finished his overage season with the Medicine Hat Tigers with 22 assists, 28 points and a plus-18 rating in 49 games. He came up with a huge performance for the Tigers in the postseason, registering 15 points (to lead all club d-men by more than double, fourth on the club overall) in 15 games. Additionally, those 15 points were third among all Western League defensemen. Saw copious amounts of power play time.
Talent Analysis
Smooth skating offensive defenseman that can quarterback a power play to some degree. Speedy puck rusher whose right-handed shot is an asset with the man advantage. Shies away from physical contact even at the junior level. Needs to improve his positioning, he won’t be able to “recover” as well at faster levels. Plays a pretty laissez-faire defensive game which makes him a tough sell at even strength. Questionable decision maker.
Future
Will try for a spot with Texas of the AHL, but may start out in Idaho (ECHL).
Potential: AHL offensive defenseman.
