Athanasiou has lightning fast speed and is arguably one of the fastest players in all of Major Junior hockey. He has great offensive instincts and will play the body. His defensive game has gotten better, but could still use some work. Likely AHL bound next season where he will begin his seasoning as a pro. (Tyler Parchem, EP, 2014)
