Character is about values, believes, inner strength, and many other things that are hard to quantify. Some of the biggest "characters" I have worked with have also had the most character. Being odd ball, goofy, crazy, or marching to your own beat should not impune your character. A strange duck can have tremendous character. I actually find his article a bit disparaging to people like Kessel and Subban if it implies they do not have character. Everything I have ever heard about Subban argues his character is outstanding.
Wish I had caught the interview as well. I fundamentally disagree that many of the players he mentioned in the article lack character.

Dellow never mentioned in the article that these players lacked character, just that they were not typical hockey jocks. That is, the may come across as more aloof or rub people the wrong way. I haven't heard of anyone having a bad interaction with Hamilton.
