Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
2006-07: In his rookie season with the Otters, Gazdic scored 13 points on five goals in 58 games played. The Toronto, ON native is known for his tough physical play. Registering 137 penalty minutes this year, Gazdic has shown that he is not afraid to go into the corners and do whatever is needed to get the puck.
2007-08: Gazdic continued his trademarked physical ways for Erie (OHL) this season, finishing second on the club in penalty minutes with 144. He also developed a little bit of a shot and some offensive ability, scoring 17 goals in 67 games placed him fifth on the Otters.
Talent Analysis
Gazdic is best known for his fisticuffs. He’s a big, physical player that won’t back down from anyone. He has a strong work ethic and will go to war in the corners. He has limited potential and limited talent, although he has an intriguing shot that might pocket him a stray goal here and there at the next level. Might have a more convincing case for an NHL job if he polishes up his defensive play to avoid being considered “just a fighter.”
Future
Potential: Fourth line grinder and enforcer.
