Rangy and long, Denney is a promising defender who has proven to be disruptive both down low and up top. He’s willing to take risks and is flashy with his checks, often finding success going over the head. At the same time, Denney seldom throws checks just to throw them, unlike many young defenders. His instincts stand out, as he consistently disrupts shots and knocks down passes, throwing opposing possessions out of sync. He uses his stick impeccably well, showing an offensive mindset with the ball in his stick to make things happen in transition. The Saints boast a deep group of ’28 and ’29 defenders who looked the part this fall on the club circuit, making the competition worth monitoring this spring. Based on what I’ve seen, Denney is well-positioned to make his presence felt.
