Brayden Tedio did enough to earn a spot on the All-Tournament Team at the first NHSLS session. He has a lot of the traits you want in a top defender, and most importantly, he has that dawg in him— he does what it takes to get the ball back for his offense. His feet are exactly what you look for: quick enough to stay with dodgers who have speed and change of direction. He also has the strength in his base and upper body to make life tough on matchups with his V-holds, reverse V-holds, and cross-checks. His natural timing off the ball shows up often, whether he is getting his stick into passing lanes or arriving as the second slide. He is reliable with his stick and when the ball hits the turf, which helps finish defensive stands.
