There are so many fun and entertaining players at State Wars but Baylee Wright from British Columbia is very unique. As a smaller player he grinds like he is 6-2 and 200 pounds. He is a fearless player who comes out of the corner with the puck 95% of the time. Baylee's got some soft hands and an awesome scoring touch. He brings a lot of intensity to his team and is a big game player!
