Cousin of Chicago Blackhawks draftee Luc Snuggerud, Jimmy Snuggerud is a well rounded forward who makes an impact in all three zones. Snuggerud is a good skater, he doesn’t possess elite break-neck speed, but he is quick enough to be a threat off the rush. Snuggerud works extremely hard in the corners using his 6’1 frame effectively to overpower opponents and strip them of the puck due to his long reach. Snuggerud’s shot is fine, he can score from point blank but doesn’t have an elite level release. He tends to do most of his damage in front of the opposing team's net, as he is a fierce competitor in net-front battles. Defensively, Snuggerud is a very smart player, as he combines his work ethic along with his hockey IQ to play a sound defensive game. He is a solid positional player in his own end allowing him to cover passing lanes and force turnovers. Snuggerud lacks elite level skill that you’d like to see in a top 6 forward at the NHL level, but because of his work ethic and defensive play he could very well become a more than competent top 9 forward in the NHL one day.
