Beach is a power forward that plays a tough, physical game accompanied by offensive skill. His aggressive play led to multiple concussions and a sports hernia while playing for the Everett Silvertips.[1] After being named the 2006–07 WHL Rookie of the Year, Beach was projected to be a top 5 pick in the 2008 Entry Draft. However, his on-ice reputation and discipline issues made teams hesitant to draft him.[2] Beach was called up by the Blackhawks on April 27, 2010. [3]
His younger brother, Cody Beach, was born August 8, 1992. Cody was drafted by the St. Louis Blues in the 5th round of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, and he is currently playing in the Western Hockey League with the Moose Jaw Warriors.[4]
