  Welcome back to another blog for Biscuits and Breezers! This post is another segment for the Spotlight Player series, and this time, what a player I've got for you all this time. This player will go to the ends of the earth and back for his team. He will push through any situation to see his team become successful at the end of the night. This particular skater plays with immense passion and it is seen in every one of his games. The next Spotlight Player is Whitefish Wolverines forward Danny Roe!

  There are many types of players within every roster but only once in a while you will find guys that play with a level passion for the game that is so intense that it carries them through any situation on the ice. They celly with the biggest expressions and they fight with pure fury. This would be Danny Roe. Roe has many impeccable features in his game but one of the most prominent ones would be his ability to carry his team on his back at any given time. Danny is wickedly smart and can break any play down block and block and execute it as quickly and as efficiently as he can. Danny understands that a player has to prove himself every shift and he is always putting in as much work as possible into his games. Roe would be a great example of a skater who is incredibly self reliant and who isn't going to let someone win his games for him. Danny will play through any ache or pain solely for the moment where his team is called out as the victors at the end of the night. He is definitely a one of a kind player due the fact that he gives every thing to his team and expects little in return. He is the type of player that you show his game clips to bantam or peewee players to teach them to play for the love and respect of the game instead of the name on stitched onto the back of the jersey. Danny is definitely a player that you notice from the stands due to his unrelenting ambition, his endless supply of energy, and determination to still be standing the tallest of them all at the end of the night. Looking at his technical strengths, Danny is very strong with his puck movement and has a fantastic fluidity when he is handling the biscuit. He knows exactly what must be done, when it has to be done, and how it must be executed. He also has a great pair of skates under him. Roe is quick on the ice and will play any zone with ease. He isn't the most aggressive player you will see on the ice, but that doesn't mean he isn't throwing in a few great defensive moves here and there. When need be, Roe can absolutely rattle the boards or take on any opposing skater toe-to-toe. There is definitely fire in the eyes of this skater. As I was mentioning before, it is very obvious just from the time he takes the ice for warm ups, Danny has a very high hockey intelligence as well as a very tight grasp of the workings of the sport. Roe is the player you notice right away before the game and he is the number everyone remembers when he steps off the ice. He proves that with hard work and perseverance, anything can be achieved. Best of luck Danny with the Wolverines and the rest of your hockey career!
