Dalton Thrower – The Next Ones: NHL 2012 Draft Prospect Profile | The Hockey Writers:


Dalton Thrower THW Close-Up:
Date of birth: 12/20/1993
Place of birth: North Vancouver, BC, CAN
Ht:  6’0″ Wt: 190
Shoots: Right
Position: Defenseman
NHL Draft Eligibility: 2012 1st year eligible


"He is a silky smooth and efficient skater. His game does go well beyond the numbers, but he did finish 8th in defensemen scoring in the WHL. He can man the left or right point, delivers crisp and accurate passes, and has a blistering shot. He is also adept at rushing the puck. Dalton is effective at both ends of the rink, improving his defensive play as the season wore on. He is sound in his positional play, but has noted himself that he still needs to continue to work on gap control. Thrower’s really elevated his game throughout this season. He was relied upon heavily by the Saskatoon Blades when the blueline was decimated with injuries; Thrower excelled when called upon to log a ton of ice time."
