Spencer is the front runner for player of the year Tewarrton award. Great size, vision, hands and stickwork.
How do you slow him down?

Something completely out of the box. Zone with a shorty trying to shut him off. Can the team handle it? The kid does it all. He is going to get his. Hopefully you can limit what the other guys do. I definitely would have multiple options to go to when he starts figuring things out, including playing it straight up. I am curious what our D looks like against them when we put it out there as we would against anyone. My buddy who coached him in HS thinks the best way to cover him is simply put your most athletic, biggest, strongest pole on him. Who is that is the question.
