Urban is slightly below average size for today’s National League. He sets himself at the top of his crease with his left catching hand higher and more forward than some of his peers. This posture allows him to have a soft glove while making a glove save, but it also allows him to be beaten high glove when opposing forwards change the angle and have puck poise. Urban has a powerful inside edge thrust which gives him a chance to make some unbelievable saves on royal road one-timers and double royal roads when opposing teams go back across the center lane on the power play quick transitional odd man rushes.
