Aaron Ekblad has displayed strong leadership qualities as well as a high hockey IQ in his junior and NHL career. He has the ability to read the play while staying locked to his man and jumping on any opportunity that presents itself. Ekblad is not the flashiest player but his patience and poise allows him to be an effective player on both ends of the ice. In his first season as a member of the Florida Panthers, Ekblad led all rookie defensemen in power play goals and power play points. This framed piece has a unique element to it with an official Florida Panthers puck physically breaking through the Plexiglas. Ekblad has signed this 24"x16" UDA designed image in silver paint pen. His signature is deemed authentic by virtue of Upper Deck Authenticated's Five-Step Process.
