|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eeli Tolvanen | Note | Finally get a good look at Tolvanen's shot in this game, and it puts Clague to the ice and then limping to the bench. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (WJC 2018) | Stream | 12/26/2017 |
| Eeli Tolvanen | Note | Continues to have issues creating his own space, which limits his opportunities on the small ice. Love his play when he has the room, but I continue to be concerned that he is a big-ice player. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (WJC 2018) | Stream | 12/26/2017 |
| Eeli Tolvanen | Note | Gets his shot off so quickly, it always seems surprising the way it jumps off his stick | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (WJC 2018) | Stream | 12/26/2017 |
| Eeli Tolvanen | Note | Huge one-timer that should have gone in, but Hart with some heroics to keep it out of the net. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (WJC 2018) | Stream | 12/26/2017 |
| Eeli Tolvanen | Note | Tolvanen with excellent skating, buzzsaw of a player despite size. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Finland vs Team Sweden | Live | 8/5/2016 |
| Eeli Tolvanen | Note | Tolvanen makes the entire play happen. Stick work gets it to his teammate, drives the net, centers to the winger on the back door. Wow. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Finland vs Team Sweden | Live | 8/5/2016 |
| Eeli Tolvanen | Note | Tolvanen's reads and quickness are lethal | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Finland vs Team Sweden | Live | 8/5/2016 |

| Eeli Tolvanen | Note | A lot more jump in Tolvanen’s game today. Adjustment to the time zone and ice surface likely a big factor. The rest was there in spurts, now every shift. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | Live | 8/2/2016 |

| Eeli Tolvanen | Summary | If he were 4” taller there might be a Matthews/Laine-type battle between Patrick/Tolvanen. He’s lethal in a shooting lane. Hyper accurate, lightning release and a lot behind the shot when you consider his size. Skating is above average and has a mean streak in his game. Familiar with the North American game due to his time in the USHL, he needs to add muscle but the package of skills he possesses is marvelous. Top 10 player. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | Live | 8/2/2016 |
| Eeli Tolvanen | Note | Tolvanen is really small, but has that shifty skating you want to see in the smaller players. Highly elusive and gets around the ice quick. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Team White vs Team Finland | Live | 7/31/2016 |

| Eeli Tolvanen | Summary | Tolvanen is an exciting young player who has all of the skills to be a top prospect and still has plenty of room to improve. Quick and well-balanced, and a finely-tuned sense of positional play in all zones. Could be equally as good on the penalty kill as on the powerplay. A player to watch closely over the next twelve months. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | Video (With Replay) | 5/4/2016 |
