His high IQ was evident when he worked in two man-man action. Devir’s speed out of the box applied constant pressure on Hill’s defense.

Devir resumed his role on this team as a workhorse to start the year. On almost every offensive possession, it seemed like Devir was out on the field and dodging his tail off, drawing a slide and moving the ball with efficiency. He’s a tough and gritty player who plays hard with quick feet and a smooth dodging technique and that’s exactly how he scored his goal. He muscled his way into the middle of the field and used his strength to absorb contact and finish past the goaltender. He has a good burst of speed out of his dodge and does a good job of creating space from his defender to take a shot or move it. Along with Scioletti, the Yale commit will be a focal point of the Ironmen offense this season.
