Don’t let Erik Brannstrom’s size fool you. Not only can he outskate most opponents, he outmuscles the competition as well. If you have the puck and are heading for the goal, you probably won’t get far while Brannstrom is on the ice.

Let’s take this even further. If you are a member of the opposing team and you have the puck, Brannstrom is not going to allow you to keep the puck for long.
