Joining the Brooklyn Aces right after the new year to compensate for the plethora of injuries on the team’s blue line, 6′5 defenseman Gabe Yeung has been a solid addition, scoring seven points in 12 games and providing the team with the added toughness needed to play against the rest of the league.
Chatting with Aces Over Brooklyn during the team’s last homestand, Yeung talks about his game and what it feels like to play in Brooklyn after starting the season in Hudson Valley.
Aces Over Brooklyn- When you were in Hudson Valley, many teams thought of you as more of a shutdown defenseman, but in Brooklyn so far, you’ve been producing offensively as well. What’s that about?
Gabe Yeung- It feels pretty good, especially because I know these guys can really play. Not to take anything away from the guys in Hudson Valley, but it’s pretty hard to get going when you have so many different players coming and going as we did. With the lineup this team has now, my job is so much easier and I already feel comfortable around them.
