Bruce, Riley

RD - North Bay Battalion (OHL) 6'06" 207

HockeyProspect.com Ranking: 199

Bruce is a hulking defender with good physical tools, but he is still very raw. Very light for his size at 207 lbs, Bruce needs to physically mature into his body. Skating needs work as he was exposed laterally too often. He uses his stick and reach effectively on opposition rushes. He plays a simple game and displays good gap control and instincts. Bruce has been able to benefit from playing on a team that plays the type of game that is most beneficial towards his development as a prospect. He isn't a defenseman with big upside but he projects to be a safe third pairing defenseman who understands his role clearly, has great size and has a willingness to use it.

Quotable: “He’s too raw, just too far off for me to use a pick on him.” NHL Scout
