OPTION 2 - Being Forward with the Forwards

Written Task: Tell me what your player wants the forwards on their team to do to help them out. If your player is a forward, tell me what you do to help your defensemen succeed.

Grogu has always believed that, as a forward, it is still always super important to have a strong defensive game. He trained himself to be a counter-attacking forward - as a centerman, it meant that the foundation of his game was strong defensive awareness combined with incredible speed. By playing deep defensively and backchecking hard to create turnovers, he could then transition to offense and create opportunities that way. Because of his focus on defensive responsibility, Grogu was awarded the Jeff Dar Trophy for best two-way forward an unprecedented four straight times. He often led the league in takeaways while also putting up points and contributing to the success of the Calgary Dragons. When he played in Montreal, he played a role which was primarily offensive, and while he did put up some gaudy numbers, his defensive stats suffered. Now that he is playing for the defending champs, he hopes that he can continue to play a strong role as a top defensive player to help the Aurora repeat!
