Nickolaus Buzzard // Forward

Nickolaus Buzzard (#10), affectionately known as “Buzz,” has officially re-signed with the Coral Springs Jr Cats, returning to solidify the blue line for the upcoming USPHL campaign. Born in December 2008 and hailing from Land O’ Lakes, Florida, the right-handed shooting defenseman brings an imposing physical presence and high-end defensive awareness back to the squad.

A Premier Shutdown and Penalty-Kill Specialist

Standing at an impressive 6’0” and weighing 207 pounds, Buzzard gives the Jr Cats’ defensive corps a heavy, unyielding anchor. Scouts and coaches widely recognize him as a highly disciplined physical defenseman and a premier penalty-kill specialist. He uses his pro-caliber frame, long reach, and aggressive positioning to completely neutralize opposing top scoring lines, clear out the front of the crease, and win heavy board battles in the defensive zone.

Modern, Puck-Moving Capability

While his game is built on a foundation of shutdown defense and a relentless work ethic, Buzzard is far from a one-dimensional blue-liner. He possesses a sharp hockey IQ and smooth passing mechanics that make him a highly effective puck-moving defenseman. His capability to relieve heavy forecheck pressure, protect the puck under duress, and execute a flawless first pass allows the Jr Cats to seamlessly transition from defense into a high-octane offensive rush. The organization is thrilled to welcome “Buzz” back to the locker room to drive a championship culture from the blue line outward
