His greatest assets are his superb puck skills and his great on-ice vision. Sertich is very creative with the puck and possesses outstanding passing ability. He has a keen sense of being able to spot and get pucks to his teammates on the ice. In addition, Sertich has the ability to make those around him better. His poise and confidence with the puck can also be seen in his ability to finish plays as well. Sertich is a very smooth skater with deceptively good speed. He’s quite mobile and moves extremely well with the puck. Sertich is a fierce competitor who isn’t one to give up easily and is a tireless worker. He possesses great leadership skills as well.
