DetroitRedWings.com’s Dana Wakiji examines Wings prospect and University of Maine defenseman Patrick Holway’s 2017-18 season this morning. Wakiji spoke with Holway’s coach regarding the rangy defenseman’s progress made this past season:
Quotable: “Patrick was much improved over his freshman year, which is quite obvious. He’s a big body and physical when it’s warranted. Pat has outstanding offensive skill, great poise with the puck, a good shot from the point. He was a very good power play player for us from the back end. So, he has an awful lot of tools, he’s a big guy at 6-foot-4, 220 pounds. He has the body of a big NHL defenseman and he has the skill set to bloom. A very good two-way player.” — Dennis “Red” Gendron, University of Maine head coach
