Player Notes
Name | Note Type | Note | Writer | Game Watched | Game Date | Date Viewed | Game Number |
Brandt Clarke | Note | Tries to spin a backhand pass out to the point on the powerplay. Not a great choice, almost intercepted for a breakaway. He needed to be smarter with the puck there. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |

Brandt Clarke | Summary | Clarke was involved in all facets of the game, including on the top powerplay unit with a lot of responsibility to work the puck on the left side, He is a skilled puckhandler and a great skater, using his power and edges effectively. Mobile and quick while changing directions, he's able to slightly shift his position efficiently when needed. He looks like a defenseman who plays behind his blue line with the sole intent of regaining possession and pushing play back into the offensive zone. A few of his choices while puckcarrying were a bit over-exuberant and risky, but in general his play was quite sound with and without the puck. He passes well and has a quick release on his shot either in close or from range. A 2021 player to watch closely. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Brandt Clarke | Note | Clarke is easily the best player on the ice in this game. So assured, a constant presence, always dangerous. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
