Soft hands that can pass as well as let rockets fly. Excellent vision and a playmaker's knack for the game. Very aware and responsible defensively, but is not comfortable having the puck in his own end for too long and will take it upon himself to get the puck out of the defensive zone. His impact upon the game occurs at both ends of the ice as an offensive and defensive force.

Spotted Zebra Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Added bonus is that if there was ever any doubt in Brock wanting to come over, pretty much erased now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watermelons Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Interesting video on Troy Stecher by UND Athletics. UND is definitely one of the top hockey programs in the world and I'm glad that Boeser is staying there for another year. Hopefully this signing also erases any doubts about Boeser signing here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 A right sided Ben Hutton who's better defensively? Nice signing. Hutton - Stretcher Tryamkin - Tanev Sbisa - Subban Still lacking elite talent on defence but there's a bunch of solid top-4 defencemen there for the future. We just need a true #1 guy though and I hope we get him either at this draft or via a trade (ie. Pouliot, Morrow, Theodore) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 The Globe Compares him to Spurgeon: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/north-dakota-free-agent-troy-stecher-dreamed-about-playing-for-canucks/article29517326/ Quote Troy Stecher wouldn’t mind coming home. The defenceman for the University of North Dakota is getting ready for the NCAA Frozen Four tournament this week in Tampa, Fla., but win or lose will soon have to make a big decision. A junior with the Fighting Hawks, Stecher is one of U.S. college hockey’s most sought-after undrafted free agents and could sign with an NHL team once North Dakota’s season ends. He also has the option to return to school for his senior year, but if Stecher decides to ink a professional contract, the native of nearby Richmond, B.C., says the Vancouver Canucks are on his list of potential suitors. “My dad used to have season tickets to the Canucks with his old company,” Stecher said in a phone interview Monday. “When I was a little kid I dreamed about playing for the Canucks.” Stecher, who will turn 22 on Thursday when North Dakota meets the University of Denver Pioneers in one of two national semi-finals, has eight goals and 20 assists in 41 games this season. At 5-foot-11 and 191 pounds, he was passed over in three straight NHL drafts from 2012 to 2014, but started to turn heads as a sophomore while helping North Dakota to a second-straight Frozen Four appearance. A smooth-skating defender who can jump into the rush, Stecher is finally getting noticed after being overlooked numerous times in his career. “You’re not drafted [to the NHL], so you’re pretty disappointed,” he said. “Now, you’re finally starting to get a lot of interest from different teams, so you feel excited. “It can be distracting, but at the same time I’m trying to live in the moment. We’re in a great place right now.” Stecher was a late-round pick of the WHL’s Portland Winterhawks in 2009, but chose instead to play three seasons with the Penticton Vees of the second-tier BCHL to get stronger and hone his game before eventually committing to North Dakota. In his three years with the Fighting Hawks, Stecher has 13 goals and 39 assists in 117 games and was named an assistant captain for the 2015-16 campaign. The Canucks – who selected Brock Boeser, a winger with North Dakota, 23rd over all at last June’s draft – are a club in rebuild mode that is thin on defence prospects. But Stecher said that, while tempting, the chance to play in front of family and friends in Vancouver won’t impact his decision. “At the end of the day, it’s a business and you kind of have to look past that factor of it being your hometown,” he said. “It’s a place I’m interested in and at the end of the season I’m going to have a tough decision whether I want to sign with one of the teams or if I want to come back [to North Dakota].” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
