A leader on and off the ice, Holden still play the game with the spirit of a young gun at veteran age, comparabe to legendary Jaromír Jágr.
Had some longer suspensions in his career because of ill-considered actions. As long he keeps avoiding them, he is indispensable for his team because of his skill set that includes shooting, passing, faceoffs, vision and the experience of 18 pro seasons.

Naturalised in Switzerland 2018.
