Matthias Seger is a true leader on an off the ice. A decent skater, who moves well with the puck and plays a good first pass out of his zone. Sees the ice well, plays a two-way game and despite his average size, battles hard on both ends of the ice. Owns a good shot and can guide a Power Play. Has a wealthy experience of international competition and is the kind of voice and player coaches love in the locker room. (by Rafik Soliman, April 2015)
