Meet the Nashville Predators 2011 - Jonathan Toews

Once or more a week we will introduce you to one of our players for the 2011/2012 season. Today we are starting with our Captain Jonathan Toews.



Jonathan Toews is the captain and leader of this team. He was drafted in the 1st round of the RGMG 2K12 Players Draft. The 23 year old is a definite leader and we are very happy that we were able to draft him. The reason we drafted him was because he has so many great hockey qualities about him. One is that he has a great ability to make plays and create ice for his teammates. He has great vision and makes the plays that he know he can make. He is great offensively but also is just as amazing defensively. He isnt the player that can score but chases around the puck in his own end. 

Toews is 6'2/195lbs. He uses his size to make big hits and dig pucks out of corners. But he is also a very smooth and fast skater. He will drive to the net and make his presence feel very big. He also can play any of the forward posistions you want him to play. While he grew up playing center he can just as good for you playing wing.

In his 4 seasons prior to this coming up season he played with the Chicago Blackhawks. In his rookie season he impressed putting up 54 points in 64 games and now he is just getting better. As a 21 year old he was named captain of the Blackhawks and that season they won the Stanley Cup Championship. Toews got 29 points in 22 games in that years playoffs. This past year he got 76 points while leading the team to the playoffs again.
