Brother: Mike Porter
Porter is always hustling and working hard on the ice. Has sound two-way ability and the versatility to play any forward position. Also possesses decent hands and offensive instincts. On the downside, he isn't very big, which has limited his effectiveness in the NHL.
- Erik K. Piri, EP (2013)
