Hockey Prompt

Daryl Urquhart is definitely not a prototypical SHL Defenseman when it comes to his physical build. Certainly not the biggest, tallest, most muscular. He set out to be more of a puck mover, being a nuisance from the point on power plays etc. His time in St Louis, however, changed up the way he plays hockey. Ever the team player, when they realised they were haemorrhaging goals, the coaches asked him if he would learn to play more defensively. This has continued into his time in the SHL. As a More defensively minded player, he now sees special teams time on the penalty kill, not the power play. This off season, he has been working on his strength, to let him be more of a physical presence at the blueline. He’s a natural underdog, so letting others look at him and think ‘he ain’t so big’, before he turns them inside out with a big check, is extremely satisfying!
