A speedy winger, Shinkaruk is an offense-minded with the silky hands and excellent vision to keep up with his legs. He isn't the fastest skater around but has a good skating technique. Despite Shinkaruk's small size, he is not afraid to get into battles or crash the crease. He also works hard and plays with a great attitude. He has improved his play without the puck but still needs to work on his allround game. (Matias Strozyk, 2012)
