As a member of the 2007 Memorial Cup Champions, he finished second on the Giants in rookie scoring behind fellow draft-eligible teammate James Wright.

Helped Team Alberta finish fourth at the 2007 Canada Winter Games, scoring two goals in the tournament.

Patterns his game after his favorite player Jarome Iginla because “I like the way he leads by example and the way he can change the outcome of the game."

Started playing hockey at the age of four because his older brother’s team was short players.

Credits his parents for having had the most influence on his career, giving him every opportunity to be the best player he can be.
