“Dawson is a great skater, has quick acceleration and tenacity on the puck. He will attack the net with the puck, has good size, hockey sense and has a strong shot. Dawson can play the Wing or Centre and we look forward to further developing Dawson’s game as he is determined to play NCAA college hockey. We see Dawson as comparable to current Capitals rookie Luke Haymes. With Dawson’s skating ability, his success will come from hard work and developing good habits on both sides of the puck. We are excited to welcome Dawson to the Capitals family.”
