Agency

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)

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
