Mark Zuckerberg as a hockey player: scouting report

Mark Zuckerberg would play defense, and the clue comes from the mat. He has trained seriously in Brazilian jiu jitsu and won medals in competition, a sport built on balance, leverage and staying calm while someone is trying to move you. Those are the exact skills a defenseman uses when a big forward leans on him in front of the net. His defense is one of the best parts of his card, and his physical play is solid, so he can hold position in the crease and tie up sticks.

His single best grade is goaltending, which reflects composure. He started Facebook from his Harvard dorm room in 2004 and has run the company, now Meta, ever since, and that kind of long tenure takes a steady temperament. He was also captain of the fencing team at Phillips Exeter Academy, and fencing is a sport of reading an opponent's intent and reacting in a split second, which is exactly how a defenseman times a poke check or a gap close. His skating and passing are both strong, so he can join the rush and make a clean first pass.

His shot is the weak spot, so he is not the one to quarterback the power play from the point. Goalie is a strong second spot and center a usable third. He has picked up skills from programming to Mandarin, so he adapts quickly to any system. Pair him with an offensive defenseman who has a heavy shot, give him the defensive zone faceoffs and let his balance and discipline handle the tough minutes.
