Drew Doughty Player Profile

An offensively skilled young rear-guard with great instincts for creating scoring chances and break-outs. Has excellent speed and can bring you out of your seat with his end-to-end rushing ability, when successful. The truth is they are rarely successful and can leave him far out of position, relying on team-mates to cover up for him. Is an excellent passer and has a wickedly hard shot.

Can play very well defensively when necessary, as evidenced by his play at the World Juniors for Canada, where he was the top defenceman in the tournament. Doughty has very quick feet, coming from his background of playing soccer and it shows when contesting the puck with his skates.

Was expecting him to challenge the 90-point barrier this year and lead all OHL defencemen in scoring, which he hasn’t, averaging slightly better than a point-a-game. He is a deadly power-play player from the point. He may be a little tired, although is not admitting to it, given his participation in the Canada-Russia series, World Juniors, CHL prospects game, OHL All-Star game and playing better than 30 minutes a night with Guelph.
