Ben Hutton

An offensive two-way defenceman who oozes both tenacity and instinct-driven talent. Excellent four-way skating ability and can pivot on a hairline. Very unselfish player who realizes where the puck should be and whose stick it should be on in all situations; that being said, he is not afraid to carry it himself. Strong understanding of the game exhibited through his ability to play in all situations and keep the puck moving either up-ice or to teammates with more time and space. Displays very good decision making with the puck on his stick and has the creativity to facilitate dangerous scoring opportunities. Is not phased by the physical side of the game and allows the pace of play to direct his compete level. All-in-all, a highly-skilled two-way defenceman who is adept at playing multiple roles in a game due to his natural aptitude for both the offensive and defensive side of hockey. (Curtis Joe, EP 2015)
