#12 Riley Armstrong
Pos: Right Wing
D.O.B.: 11/8/84
From: Saskatoon, Sask.
Height: 5'11
Weight: 180
Shoots: Right
Drafted: Undrafted
Acquired: Trade with Calgary 3/3/10
Personal:
Plus: Fast, smooth skater... Great work ethic... Will bang and play physical along the baords and in the corners... Crashes the net for goals... Lots of hustle and grit... Has an agitating presence on the ice...
Minus: Not the most naturally talented player... For a physical player, does not drop the gloves often...
Organizational Comments: Griffins GM Bob McNamara: "He plays hard, has kind of a rough-and-tumble game, but can still put the puck in the net", "He's not afraid to mix it up and get under opponents' skin."
What GRC says: Spring 2010: The younger brother of NHLer Colby Armstrong, Riley is a gritty winger who likes to bang and take the puck to the net. While not the most skilled player, he brings a lot of energy and hunger with a good work ethic.
Role: Energy Forward
Projection: NHL 4th Liner
