Talent Analysis
One word comes to mind when mentioning FitzGerald's style of play: mean. Defensively responsible, offensively adequate, and very physical, the Seattle defenseman regularly ravages the opposition in his own end. One of the most feared enforcers in the WHL during his time, FitzGerald has led by example, taking matters into his own hands, and doing his best to prevent the opposition from taking liberties on his teammates.
