"It's a man's league, so the focus was getting stronger, obviously. In past levels, in the American League, you could hold on to the puck easier regardless of your stature. Here, there's big strong defensemen always in your face," said Studnicka. "I knew I had to get stronger, so I believe I achieved that. Hopefully it translates. The numbers weren't really there offensively for me, and I kind of pride myself on being an offensive guy. When I look back on it, there were opportunities and hopefully I can just build on that this year."
