Playing style

While not a prominent scorer Martin's strong sides to his game included his stick-handling and his defensive hook check technique.

gollark: I consider light a physical thing though. You can measure it, it directly impacts physical objects, sort of thing.
gollark: To the extent that things like countries do without physically existing, sure.
gollark: They're *caused by* things in reality, as far as I know they don't actually... have some sort of physical existence outside of being stored/processed in people's brains and computers/paper/other storage.
gollark: > Something, such as a thought or conception, that is the product of mental activity.> An opinion, conviction, or principle.> A plan, purpose, or goal.This is a fairly okay definition I suppose.
