Blake Orban is an offensive defenceman who can be used as an effective forward as well. Blake likes to play a physical game and has the size to back it up. His hits are very solid and more often than not create turnovers for his team. When controlling the puck Blake is very calm, never seeming to get rushed. This along with his speed and puck handling ability allows him to make good outlet passes or make end to end rushes which often lead to scoring chances. His soft hands allow him to use the touch pass effectively. When in the offensive zone Blake is able to hold the zone well and get shots through to the net consistently. He also mixes his shots up well, not always looking for the slapshot from the point; willing and able to take wristshots or snapshots as well. Blake also has good hockey sense shown in his one ice communication, his ability to read and anticipate the play and his positional play in his own zone.
