A compact all-round defender, with few weaknesses. He is an elite skater, who, with quick and explosive strides, is able to hit open ice in full flight. Excellent balance and edgework allow him to escape tight spaces with ease. Beyond mobility, Woo has the skill and poise to connect on the first pass. He is an all-situations presence, dependable rather than flashy. Assertive and occasionally nasty, he is also a detailsdefender, who uses his stick to keep attackers off balance. He can be counted on to make the right decision, swapping sides reliably with his partner. His defensive game is mature and pro-geared, including the knack of angling forwards to the boards before finishing. An intimidating player with real bite. He can handle power-play work. Heady, he reads the play and, moving his feet along the blue line, can open up lanes and expand his options – shoot, pass, create space for a teammate. Woo depends on his wrist shot and rarely cranks up the slapper, but that’s something that comes with experience. Already, he has the confidence to know when to jump up – to join the rush, to lay out somebody – and when to sit back. Woo also possesses character. A vocal and followme leader, he has the makings of a top-four defender should he be able to set aside injury issues that could hamper or slow his development.
