Jack Glover is a solid two-way defense prospect. His skating is good, especially in terms of straight line speed, and acceleration where he is well above average both forwards and backwards. His edge work, pivots, cuts and agility don’t reach the same level though, as they can use some work to be more fluid. They are still above average. He is strong on his skates and has good balance helping him in board battles and to be strong on the puck in general.
Jack Glover has a very high hockey IQ. He is always making the smart play with the puck on his stick. It is easy to see that he has offensive potential, as he is a very good passer, able to make a good outlet pass, and uses great vision and creativity to really quarterback the play from the blueline on the powerplay. Glover has a good wrist shot and good release, and uses it to make sure he gets his shot on net and create rebound and tip-in opportunities for teammates. He doesn’t have a huge slapshot though and that is the reason he doesn’t seem to produce the huge goal totals.Glover has good size and plays the defensive game with a somewhat physical edge. He is willing to really battle hard in the corners and in front of his own net. He has very good gap control, and can change directions quickly to lay a big hit. However, he seems to make these big hits few and far between, preferring to stay and play strong positionally instead of looking to get out of position. Glover is extremely smart as he reads the play well anticipating passes and causing turnovers.
