Nathan is one of the leaders on our team - great teammate, practice player and vocal on the bench. He can be more consistent in the d-zone when he is supporting our defense in the corner and when the opponent is taking a point shot. Nathan is doing a great job taking it to the net when the opportunity presents itself. He is a smart player that has played in all situations (PP,PK) throughout the year and has shown the ability to be a solid two way player.
