Highlights
1-time Hlinka Gretzky Cup Gold Medal 1
1-time U20 WJC Silver Medal 1

A two-way center with exceptional hockey sense. Dach is also a highly-skilled playmaker who sees openings that most players don't. Despite his large stature, he is surprisingly shifty and equipped with fine hands and creativity. (EP 2019)

Father: Dale Dach
Brother: Colton Dach
Sister: Callie Dach
Cousin: David Dach

The capability to bury the shoulder, drive to the net, and find twine with two or three defenders dangling off of him is there, EPrinkside.com 2019
He’s a very coordinated kid with his wrists and can make unique dangles given his length and skill-level., Hockeyprospect.com 2019
Displaying incredible vision and passing ability, he works well in tight around the net with very soft hands, Future Considerations 2019
Dach is a general on the ice. He has the ability to slow the game down and take it over, McKeen's Hockey 2019
great combination of size, strength and puck skills … ‘offence first’ mentality … soft hands… good puck pursuit … quick stick, ISS Hockey 2017
