|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kirby Dach | Note | Brilliant goal. Takes the puck at his own blue line, curls left side, dekes a guy blind, head fakes, dekes, lowers his shoulder and cuts to the crease, buries it. Power, finesse, moves, beautiful. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Prince Albert (WHL) | Video (With Replay) | 4/17/2019 |
| Kirby Dach | Note | Looks like he's taking this game personally. All fire and drive to get the puck in the zone and on net. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Prince Albert (WHL) | Video (With Replay) | 4/17/2019 |
| Kirby Dach | Note | Taking hits from everyone, but still working hard at both ends, absorbing hits, keeping his head up and managing the game. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Prince Albert (WHL) | Video (With Replay) | 4/17/2019 |
| Kirby Dach | Note | On one foot trying to step around a defender and his takes a big shove, but keeps his balance on the one blade. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) | Video (With Replay) | 11/21/2018 |
| Kirby Dach | Note | Filthy move at the top of the crease, drags the puck and gets a clean backhand opportunity into a now empty net, but Bellerive buries him before he can get the shot away.

| Kirby Dach | Note | Top of the right circle--as usual--feeds a beautiful pass to the bottom left circle but Gerlach couldn't pull it in. If Gerlach would have been able to handle that pass, that would have been an easy goal. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) | Video (With Replay) | 11/21/2018 |
| Kirby Dach | Summary | In a choppy, chippy game, Dach pulled off some moves that were eye-popping. Great, creative hands, uses his size to his advantage, and although he doesn't show elite speed, he is a good skater with excellent balance and mobility. His hands are dangerous, and he has excellent vision and awareness. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) | Video (With Replay) | 11/21/2018 |
