Ben Chiarot is a two-way defenseman and a hard guy to play against. A strong skater with very good mobility. Possesses a hard slapshot, plays crisp passes, as he owns good puck skills and does an excellent job protecting the puck, using his body. Skates with the puck and makes a good first pass. Chiarot battles hard along the boards and wins many puck-battles, although he can take his battles over the top and take ill-advised penalties. Reads the play well and will pinch in the offensive zone to keep the play alive. Thanks to his skating-abilities and defensive plays, Chiarot is an excellent addition to a team’s shutdown pair and special assignments. (by Rafik Soliman, February 2022)
