U18 Oregon State Championships: Game Two Hit vs. Eugene Generals Connor Heim: Defensive Highlights from Portland Jr. Winterhawks 18U AA
HIT: As a defenseman, I take pride in protecting my zone and playing a physical, responsible game. One of my state championship defensive highlights came when I stepped up at the blue line, timed the play well, and delivered a clean, strong hit to stop the rush and regain possession for my team. Plays like that help shift momentum and show the importance of being physical, aware, and reliable on the defensive side of the puck.
