Players notes are collected while watching games closely, focusing on a few specific players. All in-game notes on players are presented here to give readers a sense of what we are seeing while focusing on the player in question. Often (not always) a summary of the player's attributes is written after the game. Both the summaries and notes help to give a picture of the player's single-game performance and abilities, and is a tremendous aid for understanding a player. 

It is important to know that the Hockey Prophets do not notate all games watched, and not all players viewed will have notes associated with them. However, we are constantly adding notes to the compilation. Follow us on Twitter @hockey_prophets to get alerts when new notes are added. Also, premium members can request player notes on specific players, and the Hockey Prophets will seek clarity from the oracles.

Player Name Note Type Note Writer Game Watched Viewing Method Game Date
Ethan Del Mastro Note Tries to turn back, and his turn is tight enough, but he doesn't get good acceleration as he goes the other way. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Ethan Del Mastro Note Up ice with the puck, his speed is about average, maybe a half-step slower than that. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Jack Matier Note Paired with Hoefenmayer. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Jack Matier Note Playing a safe game, likely because he has to work with Hoefenmayer constantly attacking up ice. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Jack Matier Note Tries to force a pass at the offensive blue line. Keating was well-covered, so the pass was not the best choice. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Jack Matier Note Really nice s-cut backwards strides. He might need to work a bit on top speed, but his small-space skating is excellent. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Jack Matier Note Spectacularly well-timed pinch gains puck possession and a rapid-fire attack. His choice garnered a full-on slapper from the high slot. Then he stays active, wins the puck in the right corner, and when Hoefenmayer goes deep into the opposite corner, Matier is back to his point. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Jack Matier Note Keeps his man outside the lane, then when the passing opportunity opens, he lifts his man's stick and eliminates the play. Well done. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Jack Matier Note Great poke check. Sweeps the puck away. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Jack Matier Summary A 16-year-old defender playing a lot of minutes and asked to cover a lot of ice while his d-partner is actively engaged in the attack. He made some mistakes, but also made some excellent decisions with and without the puck. He already has size at 6'3 and 184 pounds, and skates well. He looks like a very promising prospect for the 2021 draft and beyond. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Jack Quinn Note Poke check breaks up a rush. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Jack Quinn Note Turns his defender, pulls up, fires a good shot on net. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Jack Quinn Note Steps left and uses his hip to shield the puck from the defender, effectively boxing him out of the play. He earned two seconds for his team with a simple shift of his body. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Jack Quinn Note Quinn has smart body-awareness--good positional player. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Jack Quinn Note Killing penalties, working hard late in the period. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Jack Quinn Note Quinn with his second stick infraction of the game. He's pushing the limits, and tipping over the edge at times. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Jack Quinn Summary Gets around the ice well, but it was his awareness and hockey iq that stood out in this game. At both ends of the ice, he used his body and edges to create separation or close gaps as appropriate. Plays a smart possession game with a good amount of offensive skill. Good play when he was one-on-one with a defender, and he created on his own. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
James Hardie Note Upright, but gets good knee bend when he wants to go. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
James Hardie Note He floats a lot. Not much urgency in his game at either end of the ice. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Joseph Garreffa Note Garreffa can fly. Head up, slick stickwork, a crackle of ozone as he passes by. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Kevin Bahl Note Bahl has a lot of tools, but his biggest asset is likely his cool under pressure. Which is good, because he's not going to beat forecheckers with his feet. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Marco Rossi Note Hands are so fast, he was able to take that pass on his backhand, pull it straight back to his left and release the shot immediately. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Marco Rossi Note Slips his man in the corner, peels into the circle, finds Hoefenmayer on the far post for a great opportunity. Then he follows up Hoefenmayer's shot looking for the rebound. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Marco Rossi Note Looking amazingly dangerous on every shift. The Steelheads have no answer for him. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Marco Rossi Note Turns are agile with the puck. He can twist and change directions with no effort. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Marco Rossi Note Left side on the powerplay, dips a shoulder, digs with his left skate, then slides a pass to the point. The defender was completely fooled. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Marco Rossi Note The pucks gets turned over on the powerplay, Rossi last man back, and he gains a step on the breakaway then a diving stick sweep disrupts the attempt. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Marco Rossi Note Goes behind the net and pins the defenseman with the puck, turns, finds the puck at this feet, and kicks a pass to the net front to create a deadly-looking opportunity. That one made me gasp. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Marco Rossi Note Even in this forward-deep draft class, I think Rossi has a legitimate shot at the top ten. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Marco Rossi Note Puck comes to him from the corner, he's in the low slot near the left circle, and he one-times it. Perfect choice, no hesitation. Saved, but a great scoring chance. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Marco Rossi Note Throws a breakout pass off the back of his headman, and the puck ricochets back into the defensive zone. That's the first clear mistake I've seen from him in the game. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Marco Rossi Note Dazzling puck handling just schooled the opposing player. This kid has all the skills. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Marco Rossi Note Rossi talking a lot, guiding his teammates, trying to organize on the faceoff. Then he outworks everyone to prove his point. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Marco Rossi Note Just realized that he's capturing all of my attention. It's hard not to watch him when he's out there. And he's out there a lot. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Marco Rossi Note Puck loose at the boards, as he closes, he chokes way up on his stick, pivots and passes. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Marco Rossi Note Not physical, but will go to the net and battle for position. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Marco Rossi Summary Rossi continues to impress with every viewing. His work rate is off the charts, with constant effort on display on every shift. He plays such a smart, effective and simple game, with excellent wheels and soft hands. He has a variety of shooting options, his vision is excellent, and his decisions are nearly always spot on. He's a leader on the ice, playing his draft year like he's a overager veteran. His commitment to defense shows not only competitive nature but his on-ice command of the game, as well. He may be on the smaller side, but at 5'9 and 179 pounds he packs a lot of foot and hand strength into his frame and he doesn't look small on the ice. He is a multitool player and a top, top prospect in a deep class. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Noel Hoefenmayer Note On the right point, puck comes around the rim to him, and he is able to smoothly pull the puck off the wall with his backhand, slide to the forehand, and rip a shot. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Noel Hoefenmayer Note And there is Hoefenmayer's weakness: he just got caught lunging for a poke check in his own end and allows the attacker to step around him and get a clean shot on goal. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Noel Hoefenmayer Note Uses his speed and long stick, takes a good angle, and drives the puck carrier to the boards, then Hoefenmayer knocks the puck free. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Noel Hoefenmayer Note Another bomb from Hoefenmayer. He's just firing shots on net one after another. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Noel Hoefenmayer Note Defending a 5-on-3, so the coach has confidence in his defensive capabilities. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Noel Hoefenmayer Summary Credited with six shots in this game, but he must have had at least twice as many attempts. When he's on the ice, the puck finds him. Still work to do in his zone, but outside of his zone, he's a threat, for certain. Unlike some other highly offense-oriented defenders of recent years, Hoefenmayer looks like he is committed to improving his defensive game and willing to put in the hard work in his zone. He's likely a player that will need to prove his worth and polish his two-way game in the AHL for a couple of years, but he also looks NHL capable. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Thomas Harley Note Harley can truly skate. Wind-like, that one. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Ty Collins Note First step looks a little slow, but he picks up speed well after that. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Ty Collins Note Pulls his man down, holding call against him. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Ty Collins Note He's an upright skater with no great technique. Needs to get lower, stronger. As such, his edges are good because that's what he relies on, but his speed and acceleration are lacking. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Yanic Crete Note Battling deep for the pucks, wins the fight but the puck goes the other way. He skates out hard, gets an interception in the neutral zone and makes a diving pass to relaunch the offense. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Yanic Crete Note Tries to deke around Harley, which was, well, inadvisable. Brian Fogarty Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/23/2019
Adam Evanoff Note Evanoff has been incredible in this game. Facing a ton of shots, he has limited awkward rebounds, fought off traffic, and made several sensational saves even though he's been left out on a wire by himself. His lateral movement is nice. He's a battler, too. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Adam Evanoff Note Probably finishes this game with 50-plus saves [Editors Note: He faces 49 shots, and saved 46 of them.] Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Aidan De La Gorgendierre Note Keeps his stick high when he's skating. It makes him look like he's off balance all the time. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Aidan De La Gorgendierre Note Patient and steady in his own end. Skates well. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Aidan De La Gorgendierre Note Has the puck in his own zone four-on-four, is able to spin away from a couple of forechecks, but never moves the puck and ends up bobbling it behind his own net. Hmmmmm. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Aidan De La Gorgendierre Note Joins the rush, and wow, he has speed. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Aidan De La Gorgendierre Note Backwards, forwards, side-to-side, just dancing on his skates. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Aidan De La Gorgendierre Note Tracks the puck carrier all the way out to the blue line, leaving a gaping hole in front of the his net. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Aidan De La Gorgendierre Note Looks a lot better with the puck on his stick when he's hurtling through the neutral zone than he does when he has it in his own end. This kid is all heading up ice right now. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Aidan De La Gorgendierre Note More than willing to get up into the offensive game. His slapshot is okay. He holds it at the top, seeming to look for slap-pass options before putting the puck on net. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Aidan De La Gorgendierre Note Loses his stick, but then uses his feet to shadow the puck carrier, tightening his gap, and forcing the puck out to the blue line. Well played. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Aidan De La Gorgendierre Note Kid can move the puck. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Aidan De La Gorgendierre Note Does well to collect a bad pass sent into his skates. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Aidan De La Gorgendierre Summary Playing a lot of minutes as a 17-year-old defenseman, he is being used in all situations. He has good size at 6'0 and 179 pounds and his skating is excellent or slightly better. He needs to fill some holes, but the hockey iq in his defensive zone is there, and his ability to carry or pass the puck up the ice and drive the attack will make him a dangerous opponent as he continues to develop. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Chase Wouters Note Drives through the neutral zone with the puck like he owns it. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Chase Wouters Note Killing penalties, hyperactive in the middle of the slot, stick awareness, trying to cut off passing lanes. He's effective there. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Chase Wouters Note Smooth skater. Good size. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Chase Wouters Note Not a speedy player, but he has a solid base and is hard to move. Takes up a spot at the crease on the powerplay and the defender struggles to move him out of position. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Chase Wouters Note Again at the top of the crease, fighting for rebounds. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Chase Wouters Note Trying to get to a loose puck, his stride is so wide it eats some acceleration. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Chase Wouters Note Intermission interview with Captain Wouters. Lots of cliché. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Chase Wouters Summary Skating is good enough, and he is a hard-working player who adds some grind to his team, even though he is more offensively inclined. Will battle at the net, kill penalties, push play. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Colton Dach Note Tall kid with a solid-looking base. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Colton Dach Note Nice, soft board pass on target to start the breakout. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Colton Dach Note Physical in the offensive corner, battling hard for the puck. Uses his big body to seal off the opponent. Stepped around, pinched him into the boards, sealed off the puck until he could gain control. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Colton Dach Note Quality skater, but his feet are exceptional when he wants to fire the puck. Uses his edges for snap agility and powers his release. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Colton Dach Note Again using his frame to gain superiority over his rival. Edges and shoulders, stick and strength. He's a tough player to beat in a puck battle. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Colton Dach Note Long stride, moves smoothly up ice with the puck. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Colton Dach Note On the powerplay, slicing through the slot area without the puck, trying to give his linemates an option. Goes to the front of the net, gains position and gets his stick on the puckside of the defender. Smart positional awareness. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Colton Dach Note A 2021-eligible, 16-year-old Center who is already 6'2, 174 pounds. Kirby is 6'4, 198, so it's likely that Colton gets bigger, too. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Colton Dach Note He goes to the net, is willing to take a hit and absorbs them well, and doesn't lose his cool when others try to agitate. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Colton Dach Summary It's clear yet that Colton will have the offensive success of his older brother Kirby, but he's an intriguing prospect in his own right. He was always around the play, using his size well, gaining position and getting himself in spots to be effective. He wasn't getting a lot of offensive chances, but he kept trying to create. \ Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Daemon Hunt Note First shift, and everything looks crisp. Pass behind his net was sharp and accurate. Later, a snap pass into the corner to buy time and space. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Daemon Hunt Note On the powerplay, the Warriors have three guys behind the offensive net battling for the puck, and Hunt is low at the side of the net, looking for the puck to pop out. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Daemon Hunt Note Watching everything on the ice, his head and eyes are active, and when the puck slips loose he pounces and immediately turns the play back up ice. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Daemon Hunt Note Poor cross-check penalty deep in the offensive zone while on the powerplay. What was he doing? Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Daemon Hunt Note Used as a hybrid forward on the powerplay and four-on-four. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Daemon Hunt Note Walks the puck in from the point and wrists a shot on net, good save keeps the puck alive. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Daemon Hunt Note Good work getting a loose puck in his own zone and relieving pressure. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Daemon Hunt Note Out to kill the 5-on-3 at the start of the third. Most of the initial kill was spent in his zone, but he did a great job of positioning himself, keeping his stick in lanes, a reacting to the play. Didn't allow a shot on net. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Daemon Hunt Note Moving into the high slot, gets a pass from the boards and sends a hard wrist shot clanging off of the boards. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Daemon Hunt Note Dumps a puck from the red line, then beats two Saskatoon players to the puck in the corner. He holds back on his speed a lot of the time. But when he's not stingy, he shows tremendous pace. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Daemon Hunt Note Good clear on the penalty kill. He's adept at getting the puck out of his zone on the kill. Several times in this game he's done that with a cool head. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Daemon Hunt Note Big slapper on a puck sliding into his path. He timed that well, blasted it on goal. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Daemon Hunt Summary Hunt can skate. He's got a strong, solid frame already at 6'0 and 198 pounds, and he is easily Moose Jaws best defenseman--and with Tracey out of the lineup, likely their best player. He plays all three zones the same: with cool intention and a drive to dominate the game. He needs to work on his shooting accuracy, but he has a good array of shots and gets a lot of power behind them as well. In his zone, he is reliable and calm and seems to care more about getting the puck out of danger than he is getting into the offense. However, once his zone is safe, he jets up the ice and gets involved. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Eric Alarie Note Two nice passes on his backhand from the offensive zone corner out to the point. Each pass was heavy but well weighted to allow the point man to handle them easily. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Eric Alarie Note Working on the second powerplay unit. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Eric Alarie Note He's following the puck instead of engaging in the play, which leaves him a step behind. When the puck comes to him, the defender is ready and gets a clean takeaway. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Eric Alarie Note First couple of steps are slower than average. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Eric Alarie Note On the left boards with the puck, passes to the circle. It would have been a good play except that the winger was well covered and the pass was broken up. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Eric Alarie Note Faceoff, puck skips past, and he can't win the race to the loose puck, even though he was the closest player to it. The Saskatoon team is fast, but Alarie should have won that. He's not a poor skater, he just labors to get those first steps to help him. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Eric Alarie Note In a game with so many good skaters, he looks out of place. Needs improvement. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Eric Florchuk Note Once again, watching Florchuk just frustrates me. Size, speed, hustle, but no offensive instincts, creativity or finishing ability. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Kyle Crnkovic Note Changes direction quickly with the puck. Makes him hard to trap along the boards. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Kyle Crnkovic Note Really nice burst of speed. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Kyle Crnkovic Note Good cross-ice powerplay pass to Robins for the one-timer, wide. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Kyle Crnkovic Note Short, stocky player with good passes and offensive instincts. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Kyle Crnkovic Note Also killing penalties. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Kyle Crnkovic Note There are holes in his game, but skating is not one of them. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Kyle Crnkovic Note Tries a shot form the goal line when Wouters was waiting at the crease. He should have passed it, there. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Kyle Crnkovic Note If there's a seam, he'll likely find it and make a good, accurate pass. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Kyle Crnkovic Note Robbed at the doorstep. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Ryder Korczak Note Fast hands to evade. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Ryder Korczak Note Just hasn't found a rhythm yet in the first period. Has turned the puck over a couple of times. He's fighting the puck. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Ryder Korczak Note Smart little self-pass off the boards behind the net, then passes out to Hunt, who unfortunately bobbles it. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Ryder Korczak Note An entire shift in which he circled around his zone and had zero interaction with the actual play Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Ryder Korczak Note Playing a ton of minutes in this game. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Ryder Korczak Note Has the puck in his own zone trying to lead the powerplay breakout, but turns the puck over and allows a clean breakaway. Yuck. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Ryder Korczak Note Out on the penalty kill, gets a puck, enters the zone, then passes back out into the neutral zone and straight to an opposing player. Yuck. These are the plays that the 16 year old needs to eliminate from his game. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Ryder Korczak Note Works hard deep in his own zone and draws a penalty. His effort while down 2-0 in the third is admirable. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Ryder Korczak Note Just off in this game. Missing passes, turning pucks over. But there's something good to his game. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Ryder Korczak Note One touch backhand pass against the flow, right on the tape. Clever play, that. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Ryder Korczak Note Still driving play even though his team is down 3-0 with just a couple of minutes left. No quit here. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Ryder Korczak Summary Made a lot of mistakes with the puck that underscores his lack of experience, but Korczak can play the game. He knows what he wants to do, he just needs to get his game to the point where he's more comfortable in tight conditions. He has time to develop, of course, and should he use that time well, he could become a good prospect, no doubt. With Tracey out of the lineup he's carrying the load. He needs some pieces around him to take on some of that weight and allow him to naturally progress. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Tristen Robins Note Beats out an icing by getting around the defenseman and winning the foot race. His first few steps are excellent. He just won three separate puck races on the same shift. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Tristen Robins Note I liked this little play a lot: Off the defensive-zone faceoff, he's playing the net side, puck slides out, he steps in and one-touches toward the corner for a safe possession play. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Tristen Robins Note Steps into a lane and intercepts a pass. Gets tripped but no call. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Tristen Robins Note He's all over the place, always involved in the play. He just made an excellent net-front downward deflection that should have been a goal. Then he's banging away at the rebound. I'm really liking his game. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Tristen Robins Note Killing penalties with his speed. He's a threat to turn it the other way and his puckhandling is good enough to eat up seconds. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Tristen Robins Note Tries to deke and split two defenders, and nearly succeeds but the puck slips away at the last second. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Tristen Robins Note Killing penalties with an active stick and harassment speed. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Tristen Robins Note Turns his defender around, steps back against the grain, and uses the confused defenseman as a screen for a snapshot that beats the nettie high glove. Good move. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Tristen Robins Note His hockey sense is really good, at both ends. He has his teeth buried into every play on every shift, no matter what he's being used for at the time. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Tristen Robins Note I really like how he puts some heat on his passes, but only to cross the space, not too hard for the receivers to handle. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Tristen Robins Note His balance is excellent. Just took a solid hit from a bigger player and kept his feet. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Tristen Robins Summary I find it puzzling that Robins is only producing at .65 points per game at this point [Editors Note: At game 29, Robins has 19 points on 9 goals and 10 assists), mainly because the puck is always on his stick and he has the skills to get it in the net. He's fast and agile, uses his quickness to his advantage whether on offense or defense, and plays of full game. In this game he looked to me like a player that could explode for a chunk of points and raise his draft stock. Brian Fogarty Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) Video (With Replay) 11/17/2019
Chase Stillman Note Tries a little pitty-pat pass that just hit the defenders skates. Yikes. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Chase Stillman Note Looks a bit lost in his zone on this shift, like he's trying to figure out what to do. Watches as a puckcarrier gets to the slot for a chance. Come on. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Chase Stillman Note Tries to cut back with the puck, but loses the handle and turns it over. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Chase Stillman Note Tries to toe drag around the defender, loses the puck and the defender clears it easily, Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Chase Stillman Note Solid hit separates the man from the puck. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Chase Stillman Note He's seen plenty of shifts, but his game is lackluster despite a good work rate. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Chase Stillman Note Everything is just a little off. Passes are a bit too far out of reach, dekes just a little too slow, etc. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Chase Stillman Summary A young player (2021 draft eligibile) in his rookie OHL season who shows the signs of inexperience. He's currently listed at 5'10, 174 pounds, but his father, former NHLer and current Sudbury coach Cory Stillman, was 6'0, 200 when he played. Chase plays with a lot of enegy, is competitive and has some physicality, and he looks like a player that has good hockey sense but hasn't yet been able to put it all together. Moves around the ice well and has decent offensive instincts, so his development over the next year will be key. It will be interesting to watch him later this season to see how much improvement he gains over his rookie year. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Cole Perfetti Note Gets turned around trying to defend a four-on-two, and Byfield makes him pay. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Cole Perfetti Note Moves very well. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Cole Perfetti Note Faceoff draw comes to his stick and he unleashes a shot that looked like it came from out of the blue,. I don't think the goalie moved at all. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Cole Perfetti Note Takes a hard rub out in order to make the pass and free his linemate for a chance. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Cole Perfetti Note Doesn’t waste time or movement when he has the puck. Decisions are immediate and effective. Good vision. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Cole Perfetti Note More hunched over than deep knee bends. Uses his edges a lot for movement and maintaining momentum. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Cole Perfetti Note Likes to hover around in the right circle, but his play there is passive, waiting for the puck to find him. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Cole Perfetti Note Has the puck pushing through the neutral zone, brings speed into the offensive zone, slides left, misses the net with a wrist shot. This is definitely not his best game of the year. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Cole Perfetti Note Love his vision and creativity with the puck. He finds sneaky plays and can make the passes to initiate them. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Cole Perfetti Note Another chance with the puck, snaps a hard wrist shot, but again is clangs off of the boards. Hit the net, man! Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Cole Perfetti Summary He shoots and plays hard, he shows a tremendous drive to create offense, and he makes good, fast decisions with the puck. However, in this game, he missed the net often and looked like he was simply trying too hard most of the game. His skating is good or better, but has room for improvement. He's a quality prospect, for sure, but I wasn't thrilled with what I saw in this game. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Ethan Cardwell Note Accelerated to his left wing lane, got the puck and used speed to push the defenders back, then a quick stop and pass to the slot, but a bit too much heat and the pass skips into the corner. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Ethan Cardwell Note Got back well to try to defend the rush, but looks like he made a bad read in a tough spot, and the back door player was left alone for a one-timer goal. Actually, on replay, I think it was the backside defender (Mitchell Smith) who took the wrong man. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Ethan Cardwell Note Speedy. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Ethan Cardwell Note Has a fast release on his wrist shot, gets the puck on the goalie before he can be ready. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Ethan Cardwell Note Lots of hustle in his game, and he's fast so he gets around the ice, thinking the game at both ends. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Ethan Cardwell Summary Comes from a line of hockey players (his grandfather saw 53 NHL games and his dad was a quality NCAA player and journeyman minor leaguer). He has great speed and plays with intent and competitiveness, doing little things well. He's a young 2020 draft-eligilbe (Aug 30th birthdate), and needs to put some more strength onto his 5'10, 157-pound frame. I liked what I saw from him, though. He's not a top-round player, but could be a nice middle-round pick who develops. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Jack Thompson Note Generates speed while transitioning the puck up ice, but his stride can be cleaned upo a bit and he'll get even better. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Jack Thompson Note Holds his gaps, keeps his man to the outside and fangless. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Jack Thompson Note Works smart on the blue line, holding and walking the line, draw defending players towards him, then finding the open forward down low. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Jack Thompson Note I like his stick, his mobility, and his engagement in the game. He's always a part of the play somehow. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Jack Thompson Note Doesn't over-extend himself. He times his actions well and seems to have good sense of the unfolding play. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Jack Thompson Summary Smart, steady defender who minds his gaps, joins the rush, and has a nice first pass. He has good size at 6'1, 172 and he plays well in all three zones. His points total so far (18 points in 23 games) seems like a true indication of his abilities. One to pay attention to. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Jack Thompson Note Puck is deep in the offensive zone corner, ,and he's back at the blue line. Takes a look up at the clock, sees ten seconds left in the period, and drives up to the slot. Smart move. Puck never comes out of the corner, but he put himself in a low risk/high reward spot on the ice. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Joshua Bloom Note Skating is a bit all over the place. Not the quickest or smoothest pivots, has a long push but doesn't get a lot of power from it. High flicking kick at the end. His steps are slushy on his turn and acceleration. Just awkward looking everywhere. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Joshua Bloom Note Takes the puck a step into the offensive zone, then drops a pass to the boards, where his teammate enters with pace, finds the the third man cutting to the slot--goal. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Joshua Bloom Summary Honestly, with Saginaw wearing their pink cancer awareness jerseys, it was hard to discern numbers and names, so I didn't see many of his shifts. What I did see was a player with upside who needs to work on skating, but showed a nice foundation to build upon. He's a 2021, so he has some time to develop and improve. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Landon McCallum Note Wins the puck in front of his net, passes out and then good speed up ice, heads to the net and taps in a juicy rebound for an easy goal. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Landon McCallum Note He's a 9/5/2003 birthddate, so this is almost his D-2 year, but for all of 11 days. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Landon McCallum Note Back deep in his zone, he's communicating, taking good positions to defend and then, after his team gets the puck, he takes a great angle to open a passing lane and allow the breakout. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Landon McCallum Note Decent-looking mechanics but he needs more leg strength to build speed, and needs to get his feet back beneath him more quickly Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Landon McCallum Note Hockey sense looks good at both ends. He looks like he's poised to jump up ice, but he's smart defensively and stays in position. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Landon McCallum Summary McCallum looked more like a draft-year player than one who has just turned 16. Sudbury selected him 15th-overall in the OHL draft, and it's easy to see why. He can skate, he looks like a leader on the ice, and plays a high-iq game in both ends. For a young player, his defensive awareness and commitment were obvious. What's more, he did look at all like a player taking shortcuts. Everything was intentional and his game sense is excellent. I like this player a lot. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Quinton Byfield Note Good lean on his edges, but looksa bit bent over when he has the puck on his stick. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Quinton Byfield Note Reads a potential play to the slot, and goes there, lifts the defenders stick to give his puckhandling winger a bit more space. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Quinton Byfield Note Lovely sequence from Byfield: gets a puck in tight quarters, makes a patient, effective pass and takes off. Gets the puck back, freezes the goaltender, then passes far post for a tap-in goal. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Quinton Byfield Note Big and strong with the puck, Not the most dazzling puckhandler, but he is so strong on the puck. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Quinton Byfield Note Long, strong strides gets him up ice in a hurry. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Quinton Byfield Note His wrist shot is ridiculously hard and comes off of his stick in a flash. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Quinton Byfield Note Causing all types of problems for the defense. He can power past, so they back off. With time, his shot is dangerous, so they block the lane. But then he has vision and sharp passing at angles, so that's a good option, too. What do you defend? Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Quinton Byfield Note Out killing penalties while up 4-1, and working hard, mucking behind the net. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Quinton Byfield Note Speed is probably very good at best (1.5) but he's a good skater, ore fluid than dynamic. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Quinton Byfield Note Had a chance for a shoulder check along the boards, but opted for a stick check instead. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Quinton Byfield Note Passes are accurate, but its more the strength in his wrists that gets the passes away with zip, allowing him to disguise his intentions and surprise opponents. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Quinton Byfield Note Just snapped a defender off at the ankles with deft, fast stickwork. He has a long reach and fast hands, so he can pull the puck back from a long way out. Nice move. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Quinton Byfield Note His speed will improve. It's good now, but will get better, Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Quinton Byfield Note Out again killing penalties, intercepts, kicks the puck up ice then chases it down. When the defending player tries to cut off his lane to the net, Byfield pulls up, threads a pass to the trailer for the shorthanded goal. Beautiful effort from Byfield. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Quinton Byfield Summary Byfield has proved more than capable in the competition for the #2 2019 draft spot behind Lafreniere. He has excellent size (6'4, 214) and good skating ability that looks like it will impove with more power skating training. He shows amazing wrist and hand strength, snapping passes and shots with little visible effort and great deception because of it, and he has the vision and awareness to make really good reads and pick out options. He kills penalties, plays solid defense and is a disrupter in the neutral zone. He has all the tools. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Roberto Mancini Note Tries to stick check an attacker at his blue line and misses entirely, allowing an easy entry, then he's scrambling to get back. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Roberto Mancini Note Movement is generally okay. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Roberto Mancini Note Puck comes to him at the point, he has time but slops it towards the net and into the shinpads of the defending forward. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Roberto Mancini Summary Big, takes up space in his zone, will put a body on the opponent, but he lacks top-end speed and looks more like a stay-at-home type. He will trail a rush, but he's not leading them. He put himself out of position at times, but he's another of the many young players in this game, and at 16 he has a lot of time to improve. Perhaps needs to engage in the offense more, because he showed the capability when he did. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Roberto Mancini Note That was a time when Mancini got up into the offensive play, pinching in with the puck and findings Jenkins for a chance. Good pass. Brian Fogarty Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/26/2019
Anthony Tabak Note Has size, looks like a tank on skates, and on that opening shift, he seemed about as agile as a tank, too. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/31/2019
Anthony Tabak Note Really lacking foot speed. He was just struggling to get back on the backcheck. The play just ran away from him. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/7/2019
Anthony Tabak Note Second time in the first period where he tried to make a hit but missed his man because he couldn't adjust to the movement. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Anthony Tabak Summary Got a lot of ice time in the game, but was not particularly affective, primarily because his skating keeps him a couple of steps behind the pace of play. Has size, looks like a smart player, but needs work on his feet before he can reach the next level. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Jack Quinn Note Excellent speed up the left wing side, he was flying. Good, powerful strides, smooth and clean mechanics. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Jack Quinn Note Gets tied up behind the net, but instead of just waiting for help and battling on the boards he tries to flip it to the crease, and the puck ends up clearing the offensive zone and the puck goes all the way back to his own end. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Jack Quinn Note Loses an edge and spills into the corner. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Jack Quinn Note Changes direction well, moves with the puck, draws a tripping penalty by outmanuevering the opposing forward. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Jack Quinn Note Super-fast release and he roofs it short side to beat the goalie. Nice shot. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Jack Quinn Summary Quinn is a good player who looked like a second- or third-round pick type. Needs development, but has a good sense of play and awareness, a nice shot and plays up and down the ice. He's an early birthdate (Sep 19) which is interesting for his draft curve, but he can play. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Marco Rossi Note Good positional awareness in his end, but when he gets a loose puck, he tries a risky pass from behind his net to a defenseman right at the crease, and turns the puck over. Would have been better served with a more cautious play there. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Marco Rossi Note Heading a breakout, but Keating doesn't pass to him and Rossi goes offsides. He should have adjusted his entry speed or dragged his foot, but in all fairness, Keating should have moved the puck more quickly, too. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Marco Rossi Note Has excellent speed and uses it to win puck races, and he just caught Rees on a backcheck, and we know Rees can skate. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Marco Rossi Note Passed when shooting may have been his better choice. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Marco Rossi Note Outpaced Tabak by a good margin. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Marco Rossi Note Definitely a pass-first player. He just passed up another shooting opportunity. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Marco Rossi Note Rossi is an excellent (2+) skater. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Marco Rossi Note Good vision to wait and find Quinn on the far post. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Marco Rossi Summary Another early birthdate in the 2020 class (Sep 23) but Rossi should be considered a top 20 prospect. He will be among the top skaters in the class, and has great vision and hands. Would like to see more of his shooting, though he did launch a couple of nice, accurate attempts in this game. The game itselft was bit sloppy overall and Sarnia was not the toughest competition, so I'd like to see more of him against quality competition. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Noel Hoefenmayer Note Looks like an average skater, speed is just okay, but he just unleashed a monster slapshot that handcuffed the netminder. I thought that was in. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Noel Hoefenmayer Note Wrist shot has zip, too. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Noel Hoefenmayer Note Back defending a two-on-one, communicating well with his defensive partner, but ultimately gets turned around and lost at the circle. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Noel Hoefenmayer Note Another huge one-time slapper. Wow, does he like to rifle that thing on net. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Noel Hoefenmayer Note Now he wrists one up for a tip in, which is completed for the game's second goal. Hoefenmayer has nice variety of weapons from the blue line. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Noel Hoefenmayer Note Takes a great angle to a possible breakaway and uses a long reach to swat the puck away. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Noel Hoefenmayer Note A few of his passes have been behind his targets on the move. His shot is definitely better than his passing. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Noel Hoefenmayer Note Looks like an experienced OHL defender, making smart plays all over the ice. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Noel Hoefenmayer Summary There's a lot to like about Hoefenmayer, particularly his rocket shot. Plays a smart game in his own end, showing positioning and awareness, but it's when he turns up ice that he really drives play. Maybe his passing isn't as sharp as it could be, but he shoots hard and accurately and brings a variety of speeds and angles to the net. He will lead a charge, but stays responsible and gets back to his defense with urgency. I like his play a lot, but as an older player in the OHL, the real test will come soon when he takes that step into the pro ranks. If he can translate his play up the ladder (which I see no reason to doubt) he could become a quality middle-pair NHL type who works the point on the powerplay, too. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Quinn Yule Note His strides are short because he doesn't pull his feet back underneath him, and doesn't get full extension. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Quinn Yule Note Needs to do a lot of work on his mechanics to build more power and speed. Right now he is just too slow to make an impact. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Ryan Mast Note Positioned well to cut off the only entry pass option and he makes an easy interception because of that. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Ryan Mast Note Tricky wrist shot almost beat the nettie up high. I think it might have hit him in the mask. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Ryan Mast Note Does well to reach out and poke the puck away from Quinn who was trying to drag the puck to the slot. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Theo Hill Note Nice forechecking presence with aome physical game. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Theo Hill Note Like his pace and mobility. Fluid on his edges, too, but he just tried to throw a hit and actually got the worst of it. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Theo Hill Note Good push gets him up to speed quickly off the glide turn. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Ty Voit Note Gets the puck in the neutral zone and slows the play to allow his teammate to get into space, then makes a soft flip pass to him at the blue line, springing him for an attack. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Ty Voit Note Has good speed and accelerates quickly. Keeps his speed on his edges. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Ty Voit Note He can handle the puck, nice soft hands and quick puck movement under pressure. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Ty Voit Note Turns a circle without the puck in the center of the offensive zone, turning his back to the puck and taking away an option. Stop and change would have been the much better tack there instead of the wide turn. Brian Fogarty Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) Video (With Replay) 11/8/2019
Benoit-Olivier Groulx Note Bo Groulx is going to be a high-quality NHL third-liner. Smart, strong, with skill. Maybe not enough scoring touch to be a top six, but he could have a nice long career ahead of him. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Benoit-Olivier Groulx Note Groulx is dominating in the faceoff circle. He's close to 70% in this game. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Cameron Whynot Note Good mechanics, nice edgework for quick stops and change of direction. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Cameron Whynot Note Nice wrist shot to the far corner, bar down for his feet goal in the Q. He made a good read to be in position to the get the pass, then finished with the wrist shot. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Cameron Whynot Note Puts up a puck to the net, but more of a deflectoin opportunity than a true shot. Still, it found its way to the goaltender. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Cameron Whynot Note Has a good bit of work to do on his defensive play, but he has time. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Cameron Whynot Note Hard low slapper from the point gets in on net, but Lavalee swallows it up. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Cameron Whynot Note Another shift where he was drifting a bit in his own zone. Needs to tighten up his positioning when the puck is away from the net. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Cameron Whynot Summary Although at times it was easy to see his lack of experience, Whynot has lot of tools to work with to improve his game. He moves well, shows good sense of when to go up ice, when to fall back, a good shot, good mobility. He's 6'2 and 181 pounds at 16 years old, so seeing this type of play at D-2 is tremendously encouraging. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Elliot Desnoyers Note Okay speed, but doesn't look light on his feet. Agility might be a bit suspect, and turns are slow (this was his first shift of the game). Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Elliot Desnoyers Note Another instance where he shows little agility, just chopping little steps trying to turn and go. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Elliot Desnoyers Note He looks like an all-around above average player, but not better than that, yet. Good hands, decent skater, okay awareness, but nothing that jumps out as exceptional. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Elliot Desnoyers Note Second man in on a 2-on-0, takes the pass and roofs it past Gravel. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Elliot Desnoyers Note Speed is average. I'd like him more if he was faster, because his hands and hockey sense are good. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Elliot Desnoyers Summary Another Moncton player who is 2021-eligible. Despite needing to improve on his footwork, Desnoyers is an above-average player in other aspects. Probably won't be a top-60 choice, but could be a player who is a quality third or fourth-round pick with upside. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Jakob Pelletier Note Two straight sequences in which his defensive positioning was excellent and he easily intercepted two passes that led to breakouts. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Jakob Pelletier Note Shoulder checks a puck carrier to force an early pass, then gets position in the slot. Gets the puck, makes a deft pass to the circle for a scoring chance. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Jakob Pelletier Note He recognizes opportunities so immediately, and then has the feet and hands to capitalize. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Jakob Pelletier Note Answers with an excellent backhand pass to the slot and the game is tied. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Jakob Pelletier Summary Just keeps looking better with every viewing. He's a complete player who should make an impact at the NHL level. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Jordan Spence Note Shows a lot of patience with the puck deep in his zone, and often makes the right play because of that. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Jordan Spence Note Spence vs Dube is an interesting contests and guide for measuring Spence's mobility.He gains position and beats Dube to the puck. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Jordan Spence Summary The Los Angeles prospect (LA took him 95th overall in 2019) plays the kind of defensive game that is difficult to describe, because he just does everything right. Patient with the puck, unflappable at both ends of the ice. Very good on his feet, always aware and paying attention to the play around him. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Justin Barron Note Holding the puck behind his net, waiting for the breakout to set up, then fires a risky long pass that was tipped away by the forechecking player. Why not pass that to the left side instead of trying the bomb up the middle? Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Justin Barron Note Starts to leave the zone way too early and gets caught up at the blue line while the opposition gets a great scoring chance after a turnover. Coaches will hate that bit of video. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Justin Barron Note Gathers a puck, stops and cuts back, makes an easy breakout pass to start an attack. That's the simple play and use of his skating that he needs more of. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Justin Barron Note He's playing a risky game too often, which he used to get away with when McIsaac, et al, were backing him up. Now he's got to be smarter than that. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Justin Barron Note Spends a lot of time having to chase back because he's been caught up ice. When he's settled in his end, his defense and positioning is solid, but its rare that he's actually settled at all. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Justin Barron Note Tries to make a hit but misses, but the problem was more that he the only player between the puck carrier and the net. He's lucky that he got some late help from backcheckers. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Justin Barron Note Banging away from the blue line until Trepanier collects a rebound and pots the go-ahead goal with four minutes left. Two shots were hard slapshots, then a strong wrist shot finally yields the goal. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Justin Barron Note That sequence was Barron capsulated: skates the puck up through the neutral zone, smooth and easy, cuts and fakes one guy then banks a nice pass off the boards to find Lavoie. Good, controlled play. But then Barron just kept going into the offensive zone.When the defender is able to poke the puck away from Lavoie, there is a sudden 2-on-1 the other way and Barron is nowhere to be seen. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Justin Barron Summary Barron looks like a player who has been able to outskate all of competition for so long and rely on his speed and movement to cover up risky plays and mistakes, that he's developed some sloppy habits. He needs to correct those, and soon. But as a package, with a bit of discipline, he is still an excellent prospect. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Raphael Lavoie Note Nice play, no-look backhand pass to Groulx for a near goal. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Raphael Lavoie Note There's no question the he has all of the NHL tools, but he needs to increase the urgency and consistency in his game. If not, he's going to waste a lot of skill and talent. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Raphael Lavoie Note Carries the puck out of his zone, then carriers it a bit further that he should have, passing to the wing a couple of strides later and the play fizzles out. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Raphael Lavoie Note Lavoie moving away from the pass instead of coming back to it, allows Khovanov to step between and intercept to start the game winning rush. A nice play by Khovanov, but that goal is on Lavoie. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Raphael Lavoie Summary Lavoie is a player that will make Oilers fans insane. He's big, smooth and so skilled, has a laserbeam wrist shot, but he only plays at about 80% most of the time. He doesn't look disinterested, he just doesn't seem to have the high revving motor that would make him a star player. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Sam Dow Note Smooth transitions front to back. Nice, effortless swivel. He's a good skater. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Samuel Dube Note Pinballing around, doesn't stop, gets a puck and wrists a hard shot on net. Kid is always driving his feet. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Samuel Dube Note His release is good, but his shot isn't particularly special. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Samuel Dube Note Dube's finish of the Peeters' pass was pretty, but what a feed he got there. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Samuel Dube Summary Hockey is all about work rate and effort for Dube. He has speed and agility and a drive to always make an impact. Never stops moving, never stops working. Maybe he doesn't have the high-end skills but he makes up for it with constant pressure on the puck. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Senna Peeters Note Lacks acceleration but gets decent speed. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Senna Peeters Note Playing on the top PP unit with Groulx, Lavoie, etc. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Senna Peeters Note Protects the puck through the neutral zone then makes a fine pass for a clean zone entry. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Senna Peeters Note Want to see him going harder on the backcheck on that one. He was slow to make his way back to the zone at the end of a shift. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Senna Peeters Note My first gasp of the game comes at 10:21 left in the third when Peeters laced a pass from his own blue line at the right side boards, up to middle ice at the far blue line, splitting two defenders and hitting Dube perfectly, who then skates in for a clean breakaway goal. What a gorgeous pass that was! Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Senna Peeters Note Another hard, accurate pass at a distance. He can dish the long-range passes. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Senna Peeters Note Nice block in OT. I like this kid. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Senna Peeters Summary First time watching Peeters, and the son of a Belgian player and coach showed the kind of solid, fundamental play that would be expected from a coach's kid. His passing is his strongest asset at this point, but he also shows good feet and a high hockey iq. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Zachary L'Heureux Note In his own zone, aggressive to go out to the point and attack the puck. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Zachary L'Heureux Note Looks well-balanced on his skates, takes a hit, keeps his feet and maintains puck possession. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Zachary L'Heureux Note Earns an assist by driving the net, protecting the puck with a Halifax defender literally draped over his back, turns and finds his man on the doorstep. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Zachary L'Heureux Note Gets a puck at the point, looks off the defender and passes diagonally to the right circle to an open player. Like the vision and the confidence. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Zachary L'Heureux Note Tries to line up Lavoie and whiffs. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Zachary L'Heureux Note Already a good skater, by his draft year he should be excellent or better. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Zachary L'Heureux Note Edges and hands make him elusive with the puck. And he's willing to go to the hard areas of the zone. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Zachary L'Heureux Note Doesn't seem to mind contact, either taking and initiating. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Zachary L'Heureux Note He seems to like to go to the crease and look for tips or rebounds. He's always around the paint when he's in the offensive zone. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Zachary L'Heureux Note Bobbles a pass attempt, but regathers, sees a lane, and rips a well-disguised shot the gets deflected out of play. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Zachary L'Heureux Summary The rookie forward and 2021-eligible player is already playing at better than a point-per-game. He plays a skilled game while not afraid of getting his hands dirty. Plays around the crease, and takes the puck to the net. But that doesn't mean he is just a grinder. He can skate, uses his stocky frame well (5'11, 194 pounds) and has a good shot. He also plays a smart game in his own end, so he's a commodity in all game situations. Brian Fogarty Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/25/2019
Alexis Lafreniere Note Moves the puck with patient simplicity. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Alexis Lafreniere Note Uses his stick so adeptly, whether its lifiting sticks, creating space, positioning and tying opponents. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Alexis Lafreniere Note Gets a little physical at his own blue line, cross checks the puck carrier and creates a turnover. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Alexis Lafreniere Note Doesn't have elite speed, but he's fast. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Alexis Lafreniere Note Beautiful pass, diagonal to the far post for an easy tap-in goal. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Alexis Lafreniere Note Sees the ice so well, and his stick is an extension of his vision: he sees the pass and makes it. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Alexis Lafreniere Note Good view of Lafreniere at full stride. He's improving, and will continue to get better. Likely to have excellent NHL speed by the time he is 19 or 20. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Alexis Lafreniere Note Puck on his stick, slides to his right to open a lane, wrists one just wide. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Alexis Lafreniere Note Another display of excellent stick skills as he lifts the puck carrier's stick, takes the puck and moves it to a teammate. So fast and smooth. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Christan Krygier Note Battling Noel in front of the net, matching his strength and mobility, good physical position. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Christan Krygier Note Handles Veleno who tries to power around him, using stick, body position and levereage to get the job done. Good effort, there, against a top prospect. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Christan Krygier Note Corrals a puck in the corner, then skates it hard right at to Canadian forecheckers, but one-hands it up the boards for a forward to finish the breakout. Daring, but effective. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Jacob Bernard-Docker Note Manning his spot at the crease, active eyes, keeping track of the play. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Jon Gruden Note Killing penalties, stick on ice, blocking shots. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Jon Gruden Note Gets a nice pass from Zegras but can't handle it cleanly and he loses the puck. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Kevin Bahl Note Lots of height and range, good agility, maybe lacking a step. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Kevin Bahl Note Gets beaten by York to the outside, sticks a leg out and trips him. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Kevin Bahl Note He has the size, but lacks the fluid mobility and lateral quickness he'll need going up the ladder. Must work on his feet. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Nicholas Robertson Note Has good speed getting up ice. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Nicholas Robertson Note Draws a holding penalty by keeping his feet moving in the offensive zone. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Nicholas Robertson Note Reads the play so well. Intercepts a pass turns up ice, then drops between his legs to create a chance. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Nicholas Robertson Note End of a long shift, he gets his body between the puck and a much larger Canadian player, boxing him out of the play and winning the puck. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Nicholas Robertson Note Takes a pass at speed on the right-wing boards, tangles with the defender and goes down, but keeps puck control, regains his feet, stops and wires a pass to the top of the offensive zone. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Nicholas Robertson Note First step is excellent. He can close distance with one push. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Nicholas Robertson Note A remarkable feed as he carries over the blue line, stops and shifts left on one foot, then whips a blind pass to Johnson entering on the right boards. Johnson scores, but that was all Robertson. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Nolan Foote Note On the same powerplay shift, taking up residence in the right-wing circle, he bricked two incoming passes. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Oliver Wahlstrom Note It's rare that a goalie gets a clean stop on Wahlstrom's shot. He makes rebound control nearly impossible. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Oliver Wahlstrom Note A lot to like about his game, but he still needs to work on agility and quick turns. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Riley Damiani Note Skating is fine but he needs to tighten up his acceleration and first steps. He's leaving something behind right now. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Serron Noel Note Looks so fast and strong screaming up the right-wing length of the ice, the throws a hard, hard wrist shot on net. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Thomas Harley Note Footrace for a loose puck skittering up the length of the ice. Janicke was maybe a step faster over the distance, but Harley easily held his own. Then, after Harley gathered the puck, Janicke was faster on the sweeping turn and stripped the puck. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Trevor Janicke Note Understands tht the puck is about to come to him in his own zone, has his head up looking for his next move so when the puck comes, he already knows what he wants to do. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Trevor Janicke Note Footrace for a loose puck skittering up the length of the ice. Janicke was maybe a step faster over the distance, but Harley easily held his own. Then, after Harley gathered the puck, Janicke was faster on the sweeping turn and stripped the puck. Brian Fogarty Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/3/2019
Aku Raty Note Speedy player, good edges. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Aku Raty Note Moves the puck quickly with strong wrists. The puck jumps off his stick. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Aku Raty Note Hard-working shift in an extended board scrum. He keeps active, wins the battle. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Aku Raty Note Wide feet to use edges to moderate speed and angles. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Aku Raty Note His stick is active in his own end, maintaining good gap distance and stick on pucks and in lanes. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Aku Raty Note Not creating a lot of offense, but playing solid in all zones. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Aku Raty Summary There's a lot to like about his game, his high work rate, skating ability, defensive abilities. He is constantly hassling the puck and trying to make something happen. However, he did not really generate any offensive chances in this game. Made some nice passes, but he ended the game without a shot on goal. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Curtis Hall Note Clean faceoff win. A little sluggish off of his turns, but his first couple of steps look okay. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Curtis Hall Note Mechanics look good skating up ice. Not overly fast yet but he has a base to build from. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Curtis Hall Note Good angle, gets leverage and dumps Ranta off the puck as he tries to enter the offensive zone. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Curtis Hall Note Big strides make him above average to good straight line, but needs a bit more jump. Balance is a little suspect. Battling in front of the net but getting great skate strength and struggling to hold position. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Curtis Hall Note Better shift from him. Had a couple of nice puck moves, but mostly just working hard around the net, then gets a puck and wrists it home from four feet out. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Curtis Hall Summary A bit hit or miss in the game, but he has good size and is an okay skater with what looks like a good foundation for improvement. He worked hard, but at times seemed to be chasing the play a bit. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Jake Pivonka Note Sloppy backhand pass towards the point that was covered, putting his defender into a tricky spot with the puck. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Jake Pivonka Note Backhands a puck in the neutral zone that is just a clean giveaway. Not a wise play. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Jake Pivonka Note Trying to get out of his zone, nearly gives the puck away, regains control, then passes straight to a Finnish defender at the opposite blue line. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Jake Pivonka Note Puck slips out of reach while pushing through the neutral zone and he puts his teammates offsides. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Jake Pivonka Summary My opinion on Pivonka has not really changed over the last year. He's a good hockey player, but looks like a bottom-six workhorse who will kill penalties and play hard on every shift, but not contribute a lot to the offense. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
K'Andre Miller Note Takes the puck behind his own net, powers up ice through the middle then unleashes a hard, low, far-side wrist shot from distance that almost beats the Finnish goaltender. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
K'Andre Miller Note Note on Miller's defensive play: he just took a nice angleon the puck carrier in the neutral zone. Last year he misread that play consistently. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
K'Andre Miller Note Just got undressed by Kivenmaki, who left Miller standing still looking at his own feet for puck and Kivenmaki was already behind him. Yikes. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
K'Andre Miller Note His shot is so powerful. He just wristed one that hit Drury--a tough kid--in the stomach and it looked like he was truly suffering on the ice. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Kim Nousianen Note Like a lot of his puck decisions, but a couple have been clunkers. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Lassi Thomson Note Clever bounce pass off the corner boards relieves pressure and frees a forward to skate the puck out of the defensive zone. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Lassi Thomson Note Slow to get up after a tangling behind his net, but he gets back into the play and throws a hit on the half boards. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Lassi Thomson Note Joins a rush but feet get tangled up with a US player and they both spill across the blue line. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Lassi Thomson Note Up two goals in the third, crosschecks a US forward into the net. Two minutes shorthanded that the Finns didn't need. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Lassi Thomson Summary Played well in the game, used his feet and intelligence a lot to make good little plays that helped his team. He still has work to do to develop and improve his game but the tools are there, no question. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Parker Ford Note Gets up to speed in two steps, tight turns, active skater. Aloows him to change direction and fool incoming puck carriers in the neutral zone. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019

Trevor Zegras Note Exceptional vision. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019

Ville Heinola Note Keeping position at the net, attentive, composed. Good stick lift to prevent an opportunity at the crease. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019

Zac Jones Note Short strides without extension but gets decent speed regardless. Makes a quick one-touch pass on a loose puck. Good awareness on that play. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019

Zac Jones Note Looks confidant handling the puck, either in transition or managing the point. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Zac Jones Note Could be more careful with the puck in his own zone. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Zac Jones Note Bad shift: nearly turns the puck over in his own zone, then up ice gets easily knocked to the ice and the puck goes the other way. Then back at his own zone, he loses his man and the result is a goal against. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Zac Jones Note Trails the rush into the offensive zone and makes himself easily available in the high slot. Kaliyev finds him but the Jones wrist shot is saved. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Zac Jones Summary Jones was just okay for me in this game. Above average skating but nothing special. Moved the puck okay but made some questionable choices with the puck. Showed an okay shot, and was mostly good in his own zone. Just nothing exceptional on display in this contest. Brian Fogarty Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) Video (With Replay) 8/2/2019
Akil Thomas Note Gets position in front of the net, then gets a good tip and low point shot and deflects it up and into the net. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) Video (With Replay) 7/31/2019
Akil Thomas Summary I wasn't watching him in this game but he did everything he could to be noticed. Had two key blocked shots on rockets from the point. Had the tip-in goal. Worked hard on every shift and used every weapon he had to make an impact. He looks more promising every time I see him. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) Video (With Replay) 7/31/2019
Alex Newhook Note Seeming a bit passive so far, but when he has the puck, the Swedish defenders can't take it away from him. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) Video (With Replay) 7/31/2019
Alex Newhook Note Drives to the net without the puck, and a great pass finds him at full speed, but his one touch try goes just wide of the net. Great play all around. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) Video (With Replay) 7/31/2019
Alex Newhook Summary Looked more tentative in this game but his smart play with the puck and attention to the game was still evident throughout. He needs a couple of years of quality compeition to help develop his game. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) Video (With Replay) 7/31/2019
Braden Schneider Note Does well to maintain position and body up against a charging and deking Raymond, and is able to slow the attack. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) Video (With Replay) 7/31/2019
Braden Schneider Note Gets caught way up ice, and a two-on-two goes the other way, but it takes Schneider a long time to get back into the play. Needs more hustle there. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) Video (With Replay) 7/31/2019
Braden Schneider Note Catches the heavy-footed Cederqvist cutting into the zone and just levels him with a well-placed shoulder check square into the chest. Oooof! Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) Video (With Replay) 7/31/2019
Braden Schneider Summary There's a lot to like in Schneider's game, including his mobility and positioning, on top of his willingness to bring physical play to his own zone. At 6'2 and 210 pounds, the 2020 draft-eligible needs attention. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) Video (With Replay) 7/31/2019
Carson Focht Note Little steps to shift position, keeps his stick on the ice. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) Video (With Replay) 7/31/2019
Carson Focht Note Generates good speed while carrying the puck up ice, can't find an outlet as carries throught the offensive zone, so he tries a wraparound, saved. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) Video (With Replay) 7/31/2019
Filip Cederqvist Note Feathers a pass throught the neutral zone and hits his target perfectly. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) Video (With Replay) 7/31/2019
Filip Cederqvist Note Skating looks labored. He's not dynamic on his feet. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) Video (With Replay) 7/31/2019
Filip Cederqvist Note Not seeing a lot of creativity from Cederqvist, but he uses his stick well and is engaged in the play in the offensive zone. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) Video (With Replay) 7/31/2019
Filip Cederqvist Summary Although he has some skill, Cederqvist is too mechanical and deliberate at this point. You can see the ability, but he just doesn't have the footspeed or creativity to capitalize to any degree. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) Video (With Replay) 7/31/2019
Gabriel Fortier Note Hard stop, turns back, throws a shoulder into the defenseman trying to find the exit pass. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) Video (With Replay) 7/31/2019

Gabriel Fortier Note Outworking his opponents on every shift. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) Video (With Replay) 7/31/2019
Gabriel Fortier Summary Fortier was all over the ice in this game, highly effective in all three zones, showing hands, speed and determination to make his mark on the game, which he did with a goal and an assist and just general hard-working play. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) Video (With Replay) 7/31/2019
Jonatan Berggren Note Has been the best forward for the Swedes in this game. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) Video (With Replay) 7/31/2019

Lucas Raymond Summary Less effective in this game than he could have been, which really describes the entire Swedish offense. Still, he won puck battles, displayed speed and quickness and some highly clever passing plays. He's a top talent that was stymied here. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) Video (With Replay) 7/31/2019
Nikola Pasic Note Uses quickness and hands to work the puck around Lavoie, then turns on the speed through the neutral zone for a clean entry. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) Video (With Replay) 7/31/2019

Nikola Pasic Summary Skating is much improved in a straightline, though his agility still needs work, but it’s a good sign that he is improving. Shows a lot of energy with and without the puck and continues to be a work in progress. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) Video (With Replay) 7/31/2019
Philip Broberg Note If Broberg can develop his offensive game, he will be an awesome NHL defender. Until then, he'll be a premier shut-down guy who can lead a breakout. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) Video (With Replay) 7/31/2019
Serron Noel Note He's flying. Long legs get him good pace and power. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) Video (With Replay) 7/31/2019

Bobby Brink Note I don't like how he moves. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019
Bobby Brink Note Sloppy, sludgy first steps. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019
Bobby Brink Note He really needs a skating coach. His feet move, but his body goes nowhere. It's a liability for him even at the U18 level. A defender just closed on him with two strides. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019
Bobby Brink Note I'm just going to say it: Brink will get destroyed by NHL defenders. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019

Alex Newhook Note Has a lot of patience when the pucks come to him. He looks more at ease with the puck than without it, and he seems fine making puck moves under pressure and finding the right play. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019
Alex Newhook Note Great backcheck, tracks down the puck carrier at the blue line and takes the puck away. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019

Alex Newhook Note Another nice stick play as he reaches out, lifts a stick, then sweeps the puck to the halfboards where only he can collect it. Then his no-look, backhand pass was sick! Kid sees everything. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019
Alex Newhook Note Passes are accurate and beautiful. Pure playmaker. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019
Alex Newhook Summary He's 5'10, but he plays with such command of the game around that he does not appear to be that small. Excellent skater, but where his game stands out from the rest is his amazing vision, passing and puckhandling. Very patient with the puck. A top prospect playmaker who can center or play on the wing. NHL-calibre talent. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019
Brayden Tracey Note Looks remarkably thin. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019

Connor Zary Note An opportunistic player. Solid in his own end, then suddenly he's making something happen. Really good wraparound goal to tie the game in the third period. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019
Dylan Cozens Note Cozens has a lot of great tools, but sometimes he looks a little too predictable. Still, he's a top talent. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019
Dylan Cozens Note When Cozens wants to skate he can fly. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019

Isac Andersson Note Quick hands to turn a sharp pass into a shot, but he was robbed point blank. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019
Isac Andersson Note A bit awkward on the ice. His turns are kind of clunky, and he waits for the game instead of making things happen. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019
Isac Andersson Summary Not a lot of standout qualities, but he has the basic toolkit of a professional hockey player with a chance of making the NHL but more likely an AHL-level player. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019

Jamieson Rees Summary Energy player who makes things happen on the ice. Always going, forechecks, backchecks and has some offensive skill, but his career is likely to be that of a bottom six pest. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019
Karl Henriksson Note Changes front to back with fluidity and simplicity, makes him look comfortable when the puck gets turned over. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019

Lucas Raymond Note I love this kid's game. Man, can he play. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019
Lucas Raymond Summary Raymond is a special player, the kind of top prospect forward who gets everyone on their feet when he touches the puck. He telegraphed some passes and overworked some plays, but his skating, agility and balance with the puck on his stick, and his laser shot make him an likely top-five pick in 2020 and young player with a lot of promise. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019
Samuel Poulin Note Reaching a bit trying to defend in the offensive zone. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019

Samuel Poulin Note Lacks speed up ice. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019
Samuel Poulin Note Goes hard all the time. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019
Samuel Poulin Summary Sturdy frame at 6'1, 212 pounds and he uses it to play a north-south style game. Works hard, drives play up ice, and can show some quality offensive skills along the way. Skating is just a tick above aveage but not a liability. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019
Tobias Bjornfot Note Bjornfot is a player who controls the tempo of the game whenever he's on the ice. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019
Tobias Bjornfot Note Broberg is an excellent defender, but at this point in their development, I like Bjornfot at powerplay qb over Broberg. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019
Tobias Bjornfot Note Then, on the same powerplay, he proves the point. Sharp pass to the circle, puck comes back and he fires a hard wrist shot deflected for the go-ahead goal. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019
Tobias Bjornfot Note Activates without hesitation and is effective going forward. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/27/2019

Aliaksei Protas Note Good stride mechanics in a straight line giving him good speed up ice. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Prince Albert (WHL) Video (With Replay) 4/17/2019
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
Kyle Crnkovic Note Second-unit powerplay. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Prince Albert (WHL) Video (With Replay) 4/17/2019
Kyle Crnkovic Note Chasing the play on that shift along the left-wing boards in his own end. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Prince Albert (WHL) Video (With Replay) 4/17/2019
Ozzy Wiesblatt Note Mostly just floating in the high slot while his team works the perimeter. Went to the top of the crease, took a crosscheck, moved up a bit higher in the slot. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Prince Albert (WHL) Video (With Replay) 4/17/2019
Ozzy Wiesblatt Note Decent acceleration. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Prince Albert (WHL) Video (With Replay) 4/17/2019

Tristen Robins Note Good mobility, nice release. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Prince Albert (WHL) Video (With Replay) 4/17/2019
Brandon Coe Note Sharp cross-ice pass through the neutral zone, on target. Lots of zip on it. Brian Fogarty North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) Video (With Replay) 3/29/2019
Brandon Coe Note Engaged in the play all over the ice. Looks like he's anticipating well on that shift. Then throws a nice forecheck hit in the corner. Not only that, but his pressure draws a penalty for delay. Brian Fogarty North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) Video (With Replay) 3/29/2019
Brandon Coe Note Getting powerplay time. Brian Fogarty North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) Video (With Replay) 3/29/2019

Harrison Caines Note Showing good wheels on that rush. Brian Fogarty North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) Video (With Replay) 3/29/2019
Jake Uberti Note Gets turned around in the offensive zone on the forecheck. Looked disoriented. Brian Fogarty North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) Video (With Replay) 3/29/2019
Jason Robertson Note Really lacks the speed he'll need. Just can't close with puck carriers. Brian Fogarty North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) Video (With Replay) 3/29/2019
Jason Robertson Note Might be slow, but he sees the game so well, and has the hands to make smart passes with small movements. Brian Fogarty North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) Video (With Replay) 3/29/2019
Jason Robertson Note Eyes, hands, brain are all superb, but his feet are holding him back. He doesn't have the mobility to create space, and that will hurt him going forward. He'll need the players around him to create time for him. Brian Fogarty North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) Video (With Replay) 3/29/2019
Kyen Sopa Note Can really fly up ice. Brian Fogarty North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) Video (With Replay) 3/29/2019

Mitchell Russell Note Big guy, looks a little slow, but gets good push from a standstill. Brian Fogarty North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) Video (With Replay) 3/29/2019

Mitchell Russell Note Lumbersome trying to turn at speed. Brian Fogarty North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) Video (With Replay) 3/29/2019

Phillip Tomasino Note Deking, deking, cutting to the net. Didn't get a shot off, but had two strong attacks at the crease on the same shift. Then a sharp angle shot from down low, saved. Brian Fogarty North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) Video (With Replay) 3/29/2019
Phillip Tomasino Note Uses his acceleration to catch up and strip the puck in the offensive zone then a quick pass to set up the offense. Brian Fogarty North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) Video (With Replay) 3/29/2019
Albert Johansson Note Crafty defensive stick play to fake then tap it into his own corner so he could step around the forechecker and gain a little more time, then make a safe pass behind his own net. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Albert Johansson Note Turned the wrong way and the puck trickled past him and out of the zone. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Albin Grewe Note Big hit in the corner. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Albin Grewe Note Forechecking, causing problems in deep. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019

Karl Henriksson Note Quick, covers the big ice easily Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019

Karl Henriksson Note Speed is above average to good. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Karl Henriksson Summary Plays an honest type of game with a high work rate and willing to use his body to make plays. Above-average skating and good hands, but projects more to middle-six upside. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Lucas Raymond Note Fantastic move down the left side, dangles the defenseman silly, then rips it far side, clean. Beauty! Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Lucas Raymond Note I like his anticipation and reads. Smart plays executed with urgency and ambition. And his stickhandling is excellent. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Lucas Raymond Note What a goal! Off balance when the puck finds him in the high slot, and he one-times it while falling and beats the goalie clean. Another beauty! Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Lucas Raymond Note In overtime, another shifty move, pulls the puck in and back out and wires one for the golden goal. Amazing hattie in the gold medal game. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Lucas Raymond Summary Excellent hands and feet, especially with the puck on his stick. His shot are hard and accurate and his ability to make defenders falter and reach with their sticks at nothing was impressive. Gets his shot away with an instant release from multiple angles. He beat an excellent goaltender three times in this game. A top offensive talent in the making. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Philip Broberg Note Using his shot more than the last time I saw him. Just fired one from the top of the circle and rang the pipe. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Philip Broberg Summary Skating and poise are Broberg's hallmarks. Not a player who will put up big offensive numbers, but he is a legitimate NHL defender who could play 20 minutes per night and shut down the opponents' top lines. Makes smart reads on the breakout, and if he develops his offensive game, he could be an All-Star in the making. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Rodion Amirov Note On the powerplay, skates the puck into traffic and turns it over. Had plenty of options, so that choice looked mindless. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Rodion Amirov Note Is able to get shots of quickly from any angle. Dangerous with the puck down low near the net even under pressure. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Rodion Amirov Note Flies up ice on a short-handed chance but the pass to him skipped past his stick. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019

Rodion Amirov Note Nice, sharp pass to a driving Podkolzin. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Rodion Amirov Note Again, good show of hands in tight, finds the puck that drifted off of Podkolzin's stick, and snaps it one-touch past the netminder. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Rodion Amirov Summary His game is all hands with an ability to get a shot off while tight in on the goaltender or defender. Showed good speed and edgework, giving him a deceptive and slippery mobility. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Semyon Chistyakov Note Aggressive play skating up hard to the red line to break up an outlet pass, then slides back after disrupting the play. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Semyon Chistyakov Note Good skater. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019

Semyon Chistyakov Note Incredibly patient with the puck, using his free hand to ward off forecheckers, and gets the puck out of danger. He does this consistently well. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Semyon Chistyakov Summary Smaller defenseman who plays a cerebral game, getting himself into the right position to defend against bigger players, and then using his speed and agility to jump into plays. Passes are crisp and accurate and decisions are consistently good. High-quality puck-moving defenseman. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Simon Holmstrom Note Moves well, is always facing the puck, then gets back quickly to help when the Russians get the puck to the net. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Simon Holmstrom Note Good hands to puckhandle around the top of the zone and avoid trouble. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Simon Holmstrom Note Always engaged in the play, at both ends, and he reacts immediately to opportunities. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Simon Holmstrom Note Had the puck on his stick at the top of the crease, but took two ticks too long to get the puck settled, and the opportunity evaporated. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Simon Holmstrom Summary Looks like a quality second-line winger NHL talent who will work hard at both ends of the ice and contribute offensively while being defensively responsible. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Tobias Bjornfot Note Skates the puck to his own blue line then outlets to an open winger. Simple play done well. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019

Tobias Bjornfot Note Top of the umbrella on the top powerplay unit. Just made a good, one-time slap pass that became a good scoring chance. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Tobias Bjornfot Note Snappy wrist shot. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Tobias Bjornfot Note Second time in the game that he stepped up after the whistle to get in a Russian's face who was starting stuff. Like this! Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Tobias Bjornfot Note Moves well, long, smooth strides, and agile. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019

Vasili Podkolzin Note Rips a powerful wrist shot over the net and rattles the glass. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Vasili Podkolzin Summary Looked inconsistent in the game, often trying too hard to take on the play by himself, skating into trouble and forcing plays. His skill is top-five, though, and if he can find the right mix of teammates and be able to rely on them to make his job easier, could become a top-line NHLer. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019
Yaroslav Likhachyov Note Maybe a step slower than average speed. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) Video (With Replay) 4/28/2019

Cam York Note Willing to play physically against bigger players. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Cole Caufield Note He can move. Just got a breakaway, sent wide, then later on the same shift, finds some space at the left circle, Hughes gets him the puck, but Caufield scuffs the one-timer wide. Then he scuffs another one-time attempt later that same shift. Three chances, none made it on net. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Cole Caufield Note Quick, small, active. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Cole Caufield Note Hughes drops a perfect pass for him, and Caufiled whiffs again. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Cole Caufield Note Working the slot on the powerplay, rebound comes out to his stick and he one-times the puck into the net. Finally got a clean shot away and this was probably the most difficult one to connect with, but he buried it. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Cole Caufield Note Can fly in a straight line. 2.5 speed. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Cole Caufield Note Quality passer, good vision and game awareness. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Cole Caufield Summary Small player at 5'7 and 155 pounds, and although he seems willing to get scrappy, he mostly uses his high-end speed and agility to avoid contact and maneuver into spaces. Seemed to be fighting the puck a lot in this game, and although he fits in on the line with Hughes and Zegras, he was not generating offense on that line as much as getting opportunities. He has tools, but needs to take the next step in involvement and creation. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Henry Thrun Note Just got schooled by Mastrosimone, who faked a deke, chipped the puck off the boards, and then just stepped around Thrun to the puck and was in alone. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
John Beecher Note Looks gangly, and although he looks good on his skates, he also looks like he's trying to adjust to his length. A little slow in pivots, a little awkward changing direction. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
John Beecher Note Snaps a hard pass to the crease right on target, but the goalie just got his stick on the puck enough to deflect it away from the target. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
John Beecher Note Only just above average speed right now, but if he works on it, he can improve. Mechanics seem okay and adjustable. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
John Beecher Note Trying to get to the bench, collides with his teammate who was exiting the defensive zone. Beecher needs to be smarter there. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019

John Beecher Note He has all the makings of a quality power forward as he works out some of the kinks in his game. Want him to skate hard all the time, though, because when he does, he can actually motor. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
John Beecher Note Gets a good look on goal, snaps a wrist shot that comes his stick so fast the goalie barely flinches, but the puck glanced off the netminders shoulder and deflects up over the bar. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
John Beecher Summary A power forward type who needs to continue refining his game and improve his overall work rate. He does not seem to take shifts off, and his work ethic seems to be very good or better, he just seems to play at 80 percent or so most of the time. Good shot, big player, has an edge and physicality that he uses effectively. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Marshall Warren Note Killing penalties in a pairing with Thrun. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019

Marshall Warren Note Does well to remain fluid in the defensive zone but keeps to his responsibilities. Moving, watching, getting into the right spots. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Marshall Warren Note Looked calm skating onto a loose puck with a forechecking forward bearing down on him. Watched him in the whole way, made the outlet pass, took the hit. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Marshall Warren Summary Two-way defender who can move up and down the ice with ease. Gets involved on the offensive end and looks good in transition. Conscientious in own end, taking good lines and plays positional defense. Nothing stood out as exceptional, but few flaws, either. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Michael Gildon Note Nice edgework to find a soft space in the home plate area, then Turcotte feeds him and he one-times it for the first goal. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Patrick Moynihan Note Covering the slot on defense, holding position, playing good positionally-aware defense, but when the puck goes up ice, he lags behind, then a turnover and he's not moving his feet at all. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Patrick Moynihan Note Accelerates okay, moves laterally okay, but his straight-line speed looks average. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Patrick Moynihan Note Nice stick in the lane to break up a pass, good solid fundamentals on the penalty kill. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Patrick Moynihan Note Follows with a heads-up zone clearance. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Patrick Moynihan Note Sharp-angle one-timer misses. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Patrick Moynihan Note Always moving, always making himself available when he doesn't have the puck. Goes to the slot, stick on ice, but the puck comes in behind him, so he curls around and attacks the slot again, and this time Gildon finds him and Moynihan one-times it home from just above the crease. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Patrick Moynihan Note Like his defensive zone play. Always moving, calling out to his teammates, communicating. Just all-around solid defensive play. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Patrick Moynihan Note Uses body positioning to protect the puck, but also to preserve play options. Good positional sense and game awareness. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Patrick Moynihan Note Takes a hit deep in the offensive zone at the end of a shift, up by four goals late in the third, and still goes back hard to the bench for his change. Love that. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Patrick Moynihan Summary Being relied on more in a middle-six two-way role on this team, but he looks like a player that can show more. Good work rate, above-average skater, good hockey smarts and game awareness. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Robert Mastrosimone Note Faked a deke, chipped the puck off the boards, and then just stepped around Thrun to the puck and was in alone. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Ryder Rolston Note Really needs to improve his acceleration. First steps are boggy. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Ryder Rolston Note Carries the puck into the offensive zone, then spins off the wall and throws a backhand pass into a crowd of defenders. Needs better awareness there. He was all alone, and would have been better off either dumping the puck into the corner or pealing back and resetting. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Trevor Zegras Note Superb pass out to Hughes from behind the net. Lifted through legs and sticks, right on the tape. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Trevor Zegras Note Zegras is an excellent hockey player. Needs to work on his move trying to pull the puck around the defender, but otherwise his game is top notch. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2019
Alex Vlasic Note Good play to push the puck out of his own corner into an empty space on the halfboards where only a teammate could get to it. Smart, smart play. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019
Alex Vlasic Note Tall, thin, but has some decent agility and movement. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019
Alex Vlasic Note Sioux Falls player gets in his face after the whistle, and Vlasic gives it right back. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019

Alex Vlasic Note Good read and react after a turnover leads to a 3-on-2 against. He took a great line to retreat, covering the right man as their paths crossed deep in the defensive zone. Good, smart defensive play. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019
Alex Vlasic Note Another solid use of his stick and reach to dislodge a puck and break up a powerplay rush against. Then he cleared the zone, too. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019
Alex Vlasic Note Elevates the puck on a hard around and easily clears the zone. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019
Alex Vlasic Summary Tall defender (6'5) who will likely add significant muscle and weight over the coming years. Moves well for his size, with good four-way mobility. Not really an offensive threat, but makes good reads and first pass on the breakout. His reach is a weapon, but in tight he loses effectiveness with his long stick. Not overly physical but does not shy from contact. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019
Alexander Turcotte Note Quick release from close in nearly beats the goaltender. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019
Alexander Turcotte Note Battling at the top of the crease, keeping himself busy and his hands free as the defenseman tries to tie him up. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019
Alexander Turcotte Note Good speed, but very wide, bow-legged stride. Crossovers are good, but straight stride is awkward. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019
Alexander Turcotte Note Again scrapping for position at the front of the net. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019

Alexander Turcotte Note Taking up a spot at the left post and Hughes finds him with an excellent saucer pass that Turcotte just tips into the net. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019
Alexander Turcotte Summary Works hard in the offensive zone and does not shy away from the effort needed to get to scoring areas, with and without the puck. Has a good shot and release, but all of his work is done at the net. He is a scrappy player who looks comfortable in the dirty areas despite not being a huge power forward type. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019
Cam York Note Chasing the puck a bit during the penalty kill, taking himself out of position. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019
Cam York Note Uses his lateral quickness to step into lanes and break up passes or at least discourage attempts. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019

Cam York Note Awesome gap and positioning to defeat a rush against. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019
Cam York Note Excellent skater and fluid carrying the puck up ice in transition. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019
Cam York Summary Smaller defenseman at 5'11, 165 but he rarely seems overpowered in his own end, and will engage with bigger players. He is fast and agile, and uses his quickness to his advantage to close lanes and change angles on puck carriers. He can skate the puck up ice, and is fast enough to keep up with practically any forward on the ice. An excellent two-way defensive prospect. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019
Jack Hughes Note Okay, I swore I wasn't going to watch or note him, but Hughes just destroyed two Sioux Falls players by puckhandling alone, His back was to the boards and the blue line, but he turned one guy around, pulled the puck around the other and took off. I had to watch it four times because it was just too good. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019
Matthew Boldy Note Speedy and active with his stick Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019

Matthew Boldy Note Up-ice speed on a rush looks good to very good (1 to 1.5) but not a lot better than that. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019
Matthew Boldy Note Able to pick out passes when stickhandling in traffic. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019

Matthew Boldy Note Gets his shot off quickly and with effect. Positions his feet and hips well to be able to shoot the puck when it finds him. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019
Matthew Boldy Summary Looks like a complete forward prospect. Moves well, has a good shot, works in the home-plate area of the offensive zone, and commits to his defensive responsibilities. Seems a bit inconsistent with his speed, but he moves well. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019
Ryder Rolston Note Needs to work on his straight-ahead skating. He's kicking high behind him, slowing his return and limiting his speed because of the wasted movement. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019
Trevor Zegras Note Playing wing on Hughes's line Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019

Trevor Zegras Note Excellent spin pass hits Hughes in stride. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019
Trevor Zegras Note On defense, covers for Thrun who was caught behind the net, loses his stick then drops to a knee to block a shot at the crease. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019
Trevor Zegras Note Gets stripped of the puck at the end of a shift, and he struggled to get back into the play on the backcheck. Looked tired there, so maybe he should have gotten rid of the puck in the first place instead of trying to make the move. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019
Trevor Zegras Summary He plays the game at a pace that can match a top prospect like Jack Hughes without looking at all out of place. Fast, crafty, great hands in traffic. At times he tries to make the fancy move instead of making a simpler play, but when he's not doing that, his passes and reads are excellent, and he can shoot the puck. Once he simplifies his game, he can become a dangerous skilled forward. Brian Fogarty USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2019

Bowen Byram Note Tries to poke the puck away from Clarke, who steps around him a gets a clean look at the net and scores. Byram should have taken the body there. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Bowen Byram Note Skating up ice on a rush with Lavoie, and he easily matched him with speed. Byram can skate. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019

Bowen Byram Note I get the sense that if there were four forecheckers closing on him, he still wouldn't look flustered or rush the play. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Bowen Byram Note Down by a goal, thirty seconds left, and he's standing on the bench itching to get back on the ice. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Bowen Byram Summary Has the complete tool kit to develop into a force at the NHL level. He has NHL size at 6'1 192 pounds, and his skating is smooth, highly agile and with excellent acceleration and speed. Never hurried, never panicked, gets his team into its best position to convert transitions into offensive pressure. Still needs polishing in his defensive play but not a lot. Looks to be an easy top-ten prospect for the 2019 draft, and could compete for a spot among the second tier after Hughes and Kakko. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Connor McMichael Note Moves well, but just got caught a little flat footed after his team turned the puck over, and he had a hard time catching up to the play. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Connor McMichael Note On his knees next to the goal, working hard, trying to keep the puck alive, gets a backhand shot on net that the goalie covers. Great work while on his knees. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019

Connor McMichael Note Active stick and feet on the forecheck. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Connor McMichael Note Another really nice forechecking shift yields another turnover. Just relentless. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Connor McMichael Note Scores the game-winning goal on a sharp wrist shot. What I liked was how he seemed to recognize that he had a little space and time, and slowed the game around himself to pick out the right spot to shoot at. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Connor McMichael Summary McMichael may not have elite acceleration and top-end speed, but he makes up for it in effort and drive. He does have above average to good mobility, and his mechanics look like he has room to improve, so skating should not be an issue at all. He plays the game hard, constantly pushing into the offensive zone, and is a positive possession player with skill who could develop into a quality middle-six forward at the NHL level. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Graeme Clarke Note Looked a little slow with the puck, but he passed it off and then skyrocketed up ice, banging his stick, calling for the puck back. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019

Graeme Clarke Note Slick hands and moves, turns his back to fake a change of direction then makes a nice pass to the slot. Later in the same shift, he dangles through traffic and beats the netminder with a sequence of moves. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Graeme Clarke Note Soft, soft hands. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Graeme Clarke Summary Clarke's game revolves around his offensive abilities and scoring drive. As noted, in this game he tried to turn every touch of the puck into a potential scoring chance, either by passing or stickhandling into a shooting space. His maneuverability and puckhandling allows him to slip into space to get a shot away, and if he fails to create that opening, he has the skill to move the puck to a linemate, but when he does he wants the puck right back. Did not look selfish at all, just purposeful and confident. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Jakob Pelletier Note Smaller player, shows quickness and the ability to slip into open spaces on the ice. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019

Looks highly attuned to the game, showing high-level hockey iq and vision. Can shoot the puck and makes good passing choices to help his teammates get open. Creative and aware. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019

Kaedan Korczak Note Covers a lot of ice with just a side push and edges from a standing start. Excellent lateral mobility. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Kaedan Korczak Note Moves out of position, then misreads his assignment and leaves Kaliyev alone for an easy one-timer goal. Has to be more aware of who that is standing there. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Kaedan Korczak Note Speed is above average as he's able to keep up with the rushing forwards. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Kaedan Korczak Note Gaps are good, well-positioned, sticks to his man then peels off to allow the switch and guard the strong side of the crease. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Kaedan Korczak Note Good lateral mobility, looks comfortable moving in all directions. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Kaedan Korczak Summary An actual two-way defender with excellent four-way mobility and very good speed. His positioning and awareness in his own end was very good to excellent. A few miscues, but nothing that experience will not improve. Offensively he did not show a lot of creativity or exciting offensive skill, but his passing is sound and his puck decisions were excellent. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019

Matvey Guskov Summary A hard-working player with good reach and net-front presence. He forechecks, backchecks and works the corners, and shows some scoring ability when given the space to set up. Average speed, but well balanced. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019

Maxim Cajkovic Summary Kept his feet moving, played with intensity and pace throughout the game and although not highly effective offensively, he was able to make an impact on the game during his shifts, mostly through pressure and possession. Did not look like a player with high-end offensive skills, but could be a solid role-player in the pro levels. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Nathan Legare Note Plays kind of crouched down, but he just threw a nice shoulder check in the corner. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Nathan Legare Note Almost looks like a wrestler's stance. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Nathan Legare Note Stick is active trying to break up plays with lifts, pokes, etc. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Nathan Legare Note Poor angle to a loose puck, and Okhotyuk beats him to it. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Nathan Legare Note Attentive to his defense in the defensive zone, but he gets a loose puck, turns and tosses it into the bench. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Nathan Legare Note Has good first few steps, and plays a smart, watchful game when he doesn't have the puck. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Nathan Legare Note He'll hit, and with his crouched style, he can push hard up into the opponent's chest. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Nathan Legare Note Big forecheck effort results in a takeaway and then a hard, long-range wrist shot easily saved by the netminder. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Nathan Legare Note Two solid body checks in the offensive zone as he's trying to get the puck back. Good physical play causing problems for the opposition. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Nathan Legare Summary Had a lot of notes on him in the game, perhaps because he was so identifiable with his wrestler's crouch style. A hard working, physical player who was excellent on the forecheck and solid on defense in his end. Gave and took hits as necessary, without crossing the line or getting out of position. However, Legare was not effective on offense in the game, and did little to contribute when he had the puck, which may be more indicative of the role he was asked to play in this Top Prospects game more than actual ability. Needs viewings in a different context. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Nicholas Robertson Note Spinning backhand pass from the left circle finds Kaliyev waiting at the right circle for the one-timer and the game's first goal. Beautiful pass, great vision. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Nicholas Robertson Note What a burst of speed with the puck, just blew past the defense with a change of pace. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Nicholas Robertson Note Holy cats! The vision this kid has shown in this game is remarkable, and he just spotted Krebs through all kinds of traffic and delivered a laser pass--spot on--for the goal. Fantastic play. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Nolan Foote Note Big player with okay speed. In this game he looks like he's lacking a step. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Nolan Foote Note Definitely slower that the pace of this game, but at the crease he is a handful. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Nolan Foote Summary Did not make a big impact in this game, despite his hard work. Footspeed needs improvement, but he is a hard working, smart player who looked a bit behind the play in the midst of the talent present in this Top Prospects game. He will need to further develop his game to keep pushing his way up the pro levels. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Oleg Zaytsev Note Wins a draw in the offensive zone to set up a powerplay sequence. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Oleg Zaytsev Note Serious effort to get back and try to thwart a two-on-one. Found another gear there, too. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Oleg Zaytsev Note A step or two slow. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Oleg Zaytsev Note Tries a long stretch pass but misses his target and the puck goes all the way down ice for an icing. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Oleg Zaytsev Note Lagging the game by a couple of steps, whether its in the offensive or defensive zone. Looks like he is always behind the play. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Oleg Zaytsev Summary In a game with his class' top prospects, Zaytsev seemed out of place, always a step or two behind the play, struggling to make an impact, always chasing the play. He worked hard, no question about it, but he looked out of sync at both ends of the ice and had an all-around unimpressive showing. In fairness, it could have been a bad time to be off his game, so more viewings are definitely indicated. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Peyton Krebs Note Very quick change of direction and first step. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019

Peyton Krebs Note Moves the puck with purpose, having already decided what to do with it before it hits his stick. Highly aware of the players around him. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Peyton Krebs Note Hard stop where the puck was going, makes the defender go past him, then it’s head up looking for options. Nice play. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Peyton Krebs Note Capitalizes on a spectacular pass from Robertson. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Peyton Krebs Note Takes the puck from behind the net, soft hands, gets the puck to the slot onto Kaliyev's stick, goal. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Peyton Krebs Summary Krebs was everywhere in this game and was effective in all three zones. He plays the game at speed and his hockey iq allows him to anticipate the play and make adjustments in full flight. Shows great speed and acceleration, the ability to think the game and use his soft hands to make plays. Has a nice, accurate shot with a fast release. Works hard all the time, and made the game look easy and fun when he was on the ice. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Phillip Tomasino Note Good balance and strength on his skates, absorbing hits from bigger players and keeping possession. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Phillip Tomasino Note Excellent skater in all aspects. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019

Phillip Tomasino Note Anticipates the play well, shows non-stop motor. Good feet, good hands, but his awareness and effort are his best attributes, I think. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Phillip Tomasino Note Does a good job to get loose in the slot, spins and shoots, saved. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Phillip Tomasino Summary Tomasino is a player who looks like he plays with a single-minded focus to get the puck on net. If his team doesn't have the puck, he works hard forechecking, attacking puck carriers, doing what it takes to gain possession. When his team does have the puck, he fights to get open, win the little battles to create opportunities and have a chance to score. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Phillip Tomasino Note Man, he wants to get the puck on net all the time. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Samuel Bolduc Note Big, big player who skates very well for his size (6'4, 210). Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Samuel Bolduc Note Uses his body, is physical along the boards, will put a hit on anyone below the goal line. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Samuel Bolduc Note Williams tries to deke and turn him, but Bolduc didn't bite, and rides him hard into the boards. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Samuel Bolduc Note Puck at the right point, the left-handed shot pulls the puck off the boards, slides to the middle and wrists one hard but over the net. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Samuel Bolduc Note Physical in the corner, quick reaction time to changes in the flow of play. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Samuel Bolduc Note Hard slapshot low but the goaltender swallowed it in his pads. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Samuel Bolduc Summary Played very well in his own end and showed the ability to get up ice and join in on the offensive game, as well. Not hugely physical, but smart with his hits and physical play, used more to defend than to punish. Good skater, nice mobility, excellent agility for 6'4, 210 pounds. A really good blueliner prospect. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Samuel Poulin Note Parked at the top of the crease on the powerplay, highly active, taking away Jones's sight lines, then he tips the shot, saved, finds the puck at this feet and bangs it home. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Vladislav Kolyachonok Note Takes a couple of cracks at skating the puck out of his own zone and the powerplay, but both times he dishes the puck backward and the attack fizzles out. Did not look confident skating the puck out, either. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Vladislav Kolyachonok Note Here's a quality subtle play: at the right point, puck comes out hard, and he tries to keep it in but it bobbles a bit, so he turns a shoulder and uses his body to shield the puck from the opposing forward until he can control the puck again and move it to his teammate. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Vladislav Kolyachonok Note Another instance wherein he's skating the puck up ice and then tosses it back instead of pushing for a zone entry. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Vladislav Kolyachonok Note A hard wrist shot, saved. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Vladislav Kolyachonok Note Starfish Defensive Maneuver ™ does nothing. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Vladislav Kolyachonok Summary Looks good at a lot of things but did not stand out as excellent in any one area. Moves well, reads the play well, and shows good defensive and offensive positioning. Never looks out of place anywhere on the ice, and is willing to get up ice to help out on offense. However, he looked like his game still needs to develop before he takes the next big step. However, the skillset is there, no question. Brian Fogarty CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 Video (With Replay) 1/23/2019
Hunter Campbell Note Wrist shot low from the top of the left circle, hard to handle for the goaltender. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Hunter Campbell Note Killing penalties. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019

Hunter Campbell Note Changes direction with the puck, hard stop and goes the other way. That was surprising. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019

Hunter Campbell Summary Good work rate, moves okay with and without the puck but shows just average speed. Shot was okay, but there was little evidence of offensive creativity or scoring ability in this game. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Jaylen Luypen Note Smaller, has good change of pace to get to a higher gear when needed. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019

Jaylen Luypen Note Quick hands, able to get a puck and release a pass in an instant. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Jaylen Luypen Note Swithces to backwards skating in the neutral zone because he was reaching back to collect an puck and he takes a hard hit to his back. He'll get smarter about doing that. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Jaylen Luypen Note Hustles on the backcheck and steals the puck. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Jaylen Luypen Note Excellent forechecking shift late in the game protecting a one-goal lead, keeping Calgary tied up in the defensive zone as the seconds tick off the clock. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Jaylen Luypen Summary Smaller player, but plays with energy and is effective at both ends of the ice. Good speed and quickness, and he plays hard with intention, often making an impact on the game during his shifts. Good vision and passing. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Josh Prokop Note Shows some agility to adjust and get across to his coverage on the point after his team turns it over in their defensive zone. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Liam Keeler Note Average to above-average speed, head is up carrying the puck through the neutral zone, puts a puck on net, five hole, from the top of the circle, then follows his shot to try for a rebound attempt, but the netminder clears it. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Liam Keeler Note Gets caught reaching out for a puck and gets planted. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Liam Keeler Note Like his play in his own end. Good movement laterally, quick and alert. Solid positioning for the centerman. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Liam Keeler Note Fluffs receiving a pass in the high slot in his own zone, and his lack of response, as an opposing player jumps to the loose puck, was astounding. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Liam Keeler Summary Looked a bit inconsistent, but showed some aspects of quality play. Not a highly skilled player, but a decent skater with good positioning on the ice. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Mark Kastelic Note Hard shoulder check into the D trying to move the puck out of the corner. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019

Mark Kastelic Note Looks lost some times, just trying to front players instead of playing defense. Low game awareness. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Mark Kastelic Summary Plays a big, physical game, but does not seem to bring a lot skill to the ice, and he seemed to be overaggressive and out of position. He takes up space in front of the net, but lacks offensive skills in general. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Riley Fiddler-Schultz Note Not great acceleration, takes a couple of choppy pumping steps to get going. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Riley Fiddler-Schultz Note Taking the puck down the left wing, just kind of skates into the defending forward and loses the puck. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Riley Fiddler-Schultz Note Fast through the neutral zone, shows good acceleration and agility, too. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019

Trey Fix-Wolansky Summary Creative, speedy and smart on the ice. He was the best player in this game and was highly effective at both ends of the ice. He was fully engaged and tuned in to the pace of the game, anticipating and making plays. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Vladimir Alistrov Note Wide body, ,uses his stick to chop and lift. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Vladimir Alistrov Note Powerplay, tries to change his angle, but flutters a shot into the defenman's shins. The bounce goes out to the high slot and Robertson wrists it in for the game's first goal. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019

Yegor Zamula Note Tall. Takes a little hop step to his left, then glides into the slot to monitor the front of the crease. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Yegor Zamula Note Skating technique/mechanics needs work. Wide strides, doesn't get his feet back below him in front, losing power and speed, and it shows. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Yegor Zamula Note Makes a good sharp pass into the neutral zone to get the play moving. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019

Yegor Zamula Note Good passer. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Yegor Zamula Note Long reach and used it there for a poke check that seemed like it came from ten feet away. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019

Yegor Zamula Note Pretty pass through traffic finds Zimmerman in stride for a fast breakout.

Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Yegor Zamula Note Patient and confident with the puck, even under a lot of pressure.Uses his reach and length to keep the puck away from forecheckers until he can find the right outlet pass. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Yegor Zamula Summary His game is predicated on his passing, stickhandling and intelligence. He shows good lateral movement and edgework, but has below-average speed that limits his overall effectiveness, especially in trying to skate the puck up ice. However, his passing is sharp and accurate, even over long distances. In his own end, he positions himself well and uses his reach and smarts to break up plays before the offensive team can get established. Brian Fogarty Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) Video (With Replay) 1/19/2019
Alex Johnston Note Fights through some sticks to get to the puck and tap it back to the point. Good effort. Brian Fogarty Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) Video (With Replay) 12/15/2018

Alex Johnston Note Hovering around the top of the crease, stick on the ice. Later that shift, his body and stick positioning pays off as the puck comes to him from the right side and its an easy one-touch goal from the top of the crease. Brian Fogarty Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) Video (With Replay) 12/15/2018
Alex Johnston Note Killing penalties. Brian Fogarty Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) Video (With Replay) 12/15/2018

Alex Johnston Note Takes a pass, then sharp return to complete the give and go. Brian Fogarty Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) Video (With Replay) 12/15/2018

Arthur Kaliyev Note Same shift, its like getting that chance energized him. Flying around the offensive zone, eventually draws a penalty. Brian Fogarty Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) Video (With Replay) 12/15/2018
Arthur Kaliyev Note On the powerplay, just not moving his feet to get back when the puck goes the other way and the Soo get numbers and a shorthanded goal. Brian Fogarty Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) Video (With Replay) 12/15/2018
Arthur Kaliyev Note Right circle on the powerplay, wrister misses the net, then a hard one-time slapshot saved. Brian Fogarty Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) Video (With Replay) 12/15/2018

Arthur Kaliyev Note Oh, but there he made a nice, high-vision pass. Brian Fogarty Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) Video (With Replay) 12/15/2018
Arthur Kaliyev Summary When I first watched him, I was impressed. But since then he's dropping for me. Bad body language, looks disinterested in anything but shooting and mad when he doesn’t get the puck. But he also doesn't work to try to get it back, either. Brian Fogarty Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) Video (With Replay) 12/15/2018
Cole MacKay Note Nice first step after the opening faceoff. Bursts off the circle, begins a forecheck. Brian Fogarty Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) Video (With Replay) 12/15/2018

Cole MacKay Note Good first couple of steps. Brian Fogarty Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) Video (With Replay) 12/15/2018
Cole MacKay Note Took the wrong route up ice when his defenseman had the puck. MacKay was the head man, but he skated directly away from the puck, giving the puck carrier no passing option. Brian Fogarty Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) Video (With Replay) 12/15/2018
Cole MacKay Note Great read on the penalty kill, gets his stick out to pick off a pass, then turns it into a partial breakaway. Brian Fogarty Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) Video (With Replay) 12/15/2018
Cole MacKay Note Up 4-1, blocking shots on the penalty kill with 3:40 left, then a great stick lift that anticipated the pass completely disarmed the attacking player in the slot. Excellect play on the penalty kill. Brian Fogarty Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) Video (With Replay) 12/15/2018
Jacob LeGuerrier Note Moves well, mobile and active, forwards and back. Brian Fogarty Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) Video (With Replay) 12/15/2018

Jacob LeGuerrier Note Tries to keep a puck in at the offensive blue line, but fumbles the puck and the attacker blows past him to start an odd-man rush. His defense partner was in deep, so a safer play would have been a better choice. Brian Fogarty Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) Video (With Replay) 12/15/2018
Jacob LeGuerrier Note Hustles, smooth, active stick and good gaps. Brian Fogarty Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) Video (With Replay) 12/15/2018

Jan Jenik Note Kind of a bowlegged, wide stride, but moves okay up ice. Brian Fogarty Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) Video (With Replay) 12/15/2018
Matthew Strome Note Skating looks improved since I last watched him. Still not fast by any means, but looks more comfortable and balanced. Brian Fogarty Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) Video (With Replay) 12/15/2018
Navrin Mutter Note Big shoulder hit on the defenseman trying to shoot from the blue line. Lovely and clean. Brian Fogarty Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) Video (With Replay) 12/15/2018
Navrin Mutter Note Anticipates the puck bounce, moves up ice, then tries a wrist shot, deflected up and over the glass. His release looked protracted. Brian Fogarty Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) Video (With Replay) 12/15/2018
Navrin Mutter Note Lacks top end speed but looks okay on his skates. Brian Fogarty Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) Video (With Replay) 12/15/2018
Navrin Mutter Summary Interesting player. Size, decent on his feet though he doesn't seem like it, good hands in passing and picking up passes. Drives the net. Hits like a train. Don't know what his ultimate ceiling is yet (middle six?), but I'm curious. Shows good awareness in general. Brian Fogarty Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) Video (With Replay) 12/15/2018
Navrin Mutter Note Super-physical player, strong on his skates, powerful base makes him hard to move. Brian Fogarty Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) Video (With Replay) 12/15/2018

Alex Beaucage Note Wins a lot of physical battles on the boards. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Alex Beaucage Summary Steady player with offensive upside who plays hard, particularly down low and behind the nets. Has good speed, is well balanced, but does not show tremedous quickness or agility. A north-south player with good work ethic. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Cole Stewart Note Right side of the right faceoff circle, working hard to get the puck on the end line, feeds it to the slot and McLeod manages to bang it in. Hardworking play by Stewart. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Cole Stewart Note Okay speed, not outstanding. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Jared McIsaac Note McIsaac back on the ice. Grimacing on the bench, though. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Justin Barron Note Showing off his wheels, flies up through the neutral zone with the puck. Made everyone else on the ice look slow. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Noah Dobson Note Mostly quiet period, but he's joinging rushes, throwing his body around, and making a quiet impact on the game. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Noah Dobson Note Calm at the point, a general directing his powerplay troops. Moves the puck. Takes big shots. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Noah Dobson Note Dobson sneaks down to the left circle, all alone, and when the puck comes to him, only a diving Gravel save keeps Dobson off of the scoresheet. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Noah Dobson Note Super confident skating the puck out of his zone, goes through three or four Halifax players and enters the offensive zone cleanly. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Noah Dobson Note His passes on the powerplay always seem to have the right weight and placement to allow his linemates clean one-timers. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Noah Dobson Summary He has all the tools and uses them extremely well. His shot is big from the point, and his passing is smooth and accurate. Controls tempo on both offense and defense. His physical play is understated, but he will throw hard shoulder challenges and he uses his size and balance to leverage other players off balance. I saw at least two times in this game where he showed a shoulder check and made the Halifax attacker turn away from the contact. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Patrik Hrehorcak Note Heavy feet at the end of a first-period shift. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Patrik Hrehorcak Note Good, hard shoulder hit, then a burst up ice, and a hard slapper on net when the puck comes to him off the end boards. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Patrik Hrehorcak Note Tries to line up a hit on Flower, who then dipped to his side and Hrehorcak crashes into the boards. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Patrik Hrehorcak Note Nice play, battling low, takes a hit that could have been called for boarding, but gets up, comes out with the puck, then fires it to the front of the net, where Teasdale rams it home. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Patrik Hrehorcak Note Takes a stretch pass, goes hard into the zone for a two-on-one chance, then pulls up a bit, waiting, and hits his left winger for a deke and a goal. Nice patience, good choice, right play. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Patrik Hrehorcak Summary Physical player that works hard, but lacks the footspeed or creativity to become a top-six player. Does the dirty work to get the puck to others for scoring chances, but not a set-up player or a legitimate scoring threat. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Raphael Lavoie Note Looking like he's playing with good energy to start the game, fast through the neutral zone, even going good on the backcheck. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Raphael Lavoie Note Feathers a pass to the cutter, who never saw it coming and kicks it into the corner. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019

Raphael Lavoie Note Lavoie hits another post. He beat Harvey clean on a snap shot from just inside the blue line. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Raphael Lavoie Summary Much better effort in this game than I saw from him earlier in the season. He had a lot of jump, was active at both ends, moving well without the puck, and he had several excellent looks at the net. I'm still not sold on his overall creativity or ability to generate quality chances on his own, but when he's active, he find space on the ice and takes advantage of it, either with his shot or by finding open teammates. Definitely an NHL-level talent, depending on his effort level. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Samuel Dube Note Good hands at the crease on the powerplay, but a flashing right pad saves the goal. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Samuel Dube Note Moves well, but doesn't seem to have the kind of elusive, explosive skating needed for a smaller player, yet. He's only 16. (Currently listed at 5'8, 153 pounds) Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Samuel Dube Note Making himself available for outlet passes, and when they come, he handles them smoothly and pushes the puck up ice. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Samuel Naud Note Above average speed, but just got caught turning up ice before his team had full puck possession. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Samuel Naud Note Fighting for a spot in front of the net, hitting and taking hits. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Samuel Regis Note Slapshot from the point goes wide. Not the hardest shot, either. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Samuel Regis Note Good mobility going backwards, edges, cuts, solidly balanced. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Samuel Regis Note Goes for the SDM™ and Morand lifts the puck over his sprawling body, finds Getson's stick. Goal. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Samuel Regis Note Okay skating the puck out of his zone, but doesn't look threatening. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Samuel Regis Note Throws a puck to the net from the blue line, looked like it was going well wide of the net, but hit something and ends up as Regis first goal in the QMJHL. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Samuel Regis Summary Small, smooth skater, but more of a puck mover than an offensive defenseman at this stage. Perhaps he will be able to develop that part of his game, but is shot seems lacking, so he does not seem to be a threat from the point that makes defenders take notice. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Walter Flower Note McIsaac takes a big hit, and Flower goes after Teasdale. Not a great hit, so the Flower reaction was warranted. McIsaac leaves the game with an apparent leg injury. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Walter Flower Note Good positioning, then a quick poke check to break up a play. Positioning has been sound thoughout the game. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Walter Flower Summary Stay-at-home player who shows good mobility, very good positioning and smart effort in the defensive zone. Will use his body as necessary, but is not a big hitter. He lifts sticks, shows good gap awareness and strong board battling. Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Xavier Parent Note Haven't noticed Parent much in the game, but in the third period he's flying throughout the offensive zone, works his way to the net, finds a puck, spins and plants it to the tie the game. Speedy, hard-effort shift catches my attention, then he scored! Brian Fogarty Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 1/14/2019
Alexandre Payusov Note Reaching with his stick instead of taking the extra step to cut off the lane. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Alexandre Payusov Note Can really skate. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Alexandre Payusov Note Goes to the front of the net without the puck. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Alexandre Payusov Note Might be the fastest player in this game. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Alexandre Payusov Note Constantly on the attack. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Alexandre Payusov Summary Fast, attacking player who looks like a player with the drive to generate offense on every shift. At 5'11, 190 pounds, he plays with speed and dexterity, and gets the puck into the offensive zone. Decent in his own end. He's currently the Huskies leading scorer, but there is not a lot of firepower on that team. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Jachym Kondelik Note Slow getting through his stride, making him slow in general. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Jachym Kondelik Note On the powerplay. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Jachym Kondelik Note So big, he can just take hits from Boston College players ans not be moved off the puck at all. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Jachym Kondelik Note Coming down the left side with the puck, he just has no tools to try to get around the defender to make the play. Goes down hard into the end boards. Slow to get up. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Jachym Kondelik Summary Big, big forward at 6'5, 230 pounds, and he plays a big-player game. Solid on his feet, difficult to move off the puck or away from the crease, but his feet are a liability. Not creative with the puck, but a good passer when he has the time and space. Responsible on defense, he uses his long reach effectively to make up for his lack of foot speed. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Jack McBain Note Nice first step, good on his feet. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Jack McBain Note Good move at the blue line to deke the defender, then goes to to the net, slides the puck to Wahlstrom whoe gets taken down hard into the post. McBain showed shot, then no-looked the pass to Wahlstrom. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Jack McBain Note Skates great for a guy 6'4 and 205 pounds. Agile, tight turns, good acceleration. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Jack McBain Note Gets the puck at the center-ice dot, cuts to the right-wing side and goes around Kondelik, then splits two defenders, drags the puck to his forehand to the slot, then beats the goalie five hole. He literally beat four UConn players and the goalie in that sequence! Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Jack McBain Note Throws a good hit in the neutral zone. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Jack McBain Note On the other end, McBain does what Kondelik could not do, and toe drags his man to draw a penalty. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Jack McBain Summary A big forward who is surprising nimble and fast for a player 6'4 and 205 pounds. His puckhandling skills are very good, he is willing and able to dangle around opponents to get to better shooting lanes. Takes in passes well with soft hands, and his acceleration seems gets him into open spots on the ice. He seemed to be creating his own opportunities throughout this game. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Logan Hutsko Note Working hard in the right corner, digging for the puck, using his shoulders to box out the defender. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Logan Hutsko Note Works the left circle on the powerplay, head up, weighing options. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018

Feeds a good pass to the far side, creates a dangerous opportunity for Mattila, who just missed the net. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Logan Hutsko Note I like his hustle and energy. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018

Logan Hutsko Note Calm with the puck, will handle and step into open areas, trying to make the defense move, then not afraid to rip the puck at the net. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Logan Hutsko Note Robbed of a short-side attempts, gets the rebound, curls and saucers a pass to the far circle. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Logan Hutsko Note Spins away from his man, then his to the point was way off target and the puck goes all the way down to the other end. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Logan Hutsko Note Turns away from the puck more often than I'd like to see. A high-skilled player will exploit that. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Logan Hutsko Summary Never stops battling, is feisty and willing to get bruised up and dirty to get the puck. High work-rate player, fast feet, slows the game down when he has the puck. Nice player. Not sure if he has an NHL shot yet, but the rest of his game is solid. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Oliver Wahlstrom Note Mostly invisible fo the first two periods, then he rockets a one-timer on net that I thought was going to knock the goaltender into the third row. Same shift, hard angle, flips the puck into the net. His shot is so good. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Ruslan Iskhakov Note On the powerplay. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018

Ruslan Iskhakov Note Darts into the offensive zone, draws a tripping penalty. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Ruslan Iskhakov Note Gets a pass with his back to the half boards. A BC player comes at him, and Iskhakov fakes left, goes right and Brown literally hit nothing but the boards because Iskhakov was long gone. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Ruslan Iskhakov Note Receives a pass, turns and releases a wrist shot form the high slot, all in what looked liked one fluid motion. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Ruslan Iskhakov Summary Seemed to come alive at the end of the game as the Huskies were trying to come back from a 3-1 deficit. Highly ellusive with and without the puck, great hands, excellent passing. Very difficult to contain, and easily escapes even two defenders. He looks like a player who just needs to have some more talent around him. Brian Fogarty Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) Video (With Replay) 12/7/2018
Antoine Morand Note Keeps getting good looks, but Rodrigue has been amazing in this game, making a dozen grade-A stops so far. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Antoine Morand Note Second time in this game that Morand has gotten a shot on goal while being down on the ice. Never gives up on the play. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Benoit-Olivier Groulx Note Looking physical early, putting shoulders into people. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Benoit-Olivier Groulx Note Taking key faceoffs at both ends of the ice. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Benoit-Olivier Groulx Note I like Groulx's ability to work the boards, use his frame to seal off players or protect the puck, then make plays off the boards when he wins the puck. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Benoit-Olivier Groulx Note Groulx isn't fast but he's a solid, determined skater who moves well, has good balance and is light on his feet, and can build up power when he needs it. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Benoit-Olivier Groulx Note Seems to be adapting his game to a style that has the best chance for his future success. He's not trying the high-risk, high-dazzle plays, but is battling along the boards, going to the net, getting into the corners. He could develop into a heavy, pro-style player with hands and smarts. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Benoit-Olivier Groulx Note Stymied yet again by Rodrigue. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Benoit-Olivier Groulx Note Still going to the dirty areas, tying to drag his team back into this game. He's not giving up yet. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Benoit-Olivier Groulx Note Big hit along the boards. He crushed that guy. Wow. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Dawson Mercer Note Good skater, quick, low, excellent balance and agility. Uses his edges to adjust lateral position on the move. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Dawson Mercer Note PK faceoff in his own zone, pucks goes to the point and Mercer uses his quickness to get out and pressure McIsaac, creating the turnover, then he's gone like a flash for a clean breakaway that Gravel saved with a good effort. Nice play by Mercer, using speed and effort to create a high-end chance shorthanded. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Dawson Mercer Note His speed is a weapon. Creates another turnover and hustles the puck towards the net before his feet are swept out from beneath him. He needs only one step and he seperates from everyone. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Dawson Mercer Note Takes a hit to make sure he can chop the puck out of his zone to break up some sustained pressure from Halifax. His team is up 5-1, but he made the difficult play. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Dawson Mercer Note Once again, his speed gets him a near breakaway and he draws a penalty. No one on Halifax can match his pace. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Dawson Mercer Summary Liked his game a lot. Constant pressure at both ends, exceedingly fast, darting and over distance. More importantly, he utilizes his speed to its full effect, causing major problems for the other team. He is 6'0 and 172 pounds, over a point per game so far this season, and he's in his draft-minus-one year as a 2020 draft-eligible player. One to watch, for sure. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Felix Lauzon Note Like his mobility, his constant presence in the game, and his fundamentals. Keeps active, stick on the ice, always aware of what's going on around him. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Jared McIsaac Note He often uses the flat of his blade to "catch" and settle passes sent to him at the point. He's calm and deliberate, but at higher levels, when the pace increases, that's a habit he will have to eliminate. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Joseph Veleno Note Show's good balance on his first shift as he got spun around but kept his feet. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Joseph Veleno Note Blocks a shot then takes a hit to get the puck out of the zone. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Joseph Veleno Note Can stop and turn back 180 degrees in an instant. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Joseph Veleno Note Enters the offensive zone carrying the puck, leaves a nice soft pass to the left side, continues on into the zone, gets the puck back, then sends a sharper pass to the crease that Guay didn't get his stick on. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Joseph Veleno Note Finds a gift on the PK forecheck, takes two steps and wrists the puck past the goaltender. Quick release alone on the netminders from ten feet out. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Joseph Veleno Note Causing all kinds of problems on the penalty kill. Aggressive, fast and strong, forechecking and pushing the puck back into Halifax's zone time and again. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Joseph Veleno Note Wins a powerplay faceoff at the right dot, gets a quick pass back then sends the puck out to the point. He swings out to the left side, gets a pass and rips a laser wrist shot past the goaltender from the top of the left circle. Excellent sequence. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Joseph Veleno Summary Veleno is a professional player. He might not become a top scorer in the NHL, but he could easily become a solid, reliable, scoring second-line center who drives play at both ends of the ice. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Justin Barron Note Displaying speed and agility with quickness, too. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Justin Barron Note Good job to keep the puck in the zone at the left point on the powerplay. He knocked the puck down with his hand, then fired it at goal. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Justin Barron Note His speed gives him good recovery opportunities if he's heading up ice. Lets him take some chances. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Justin Barron Note His right-handed shot will give him extra opportunities in the future. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Justin Barron Note Uses his wheels to track down a breakaway and then a great stick lift to completely disrupt the play. Well done, that. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Ostap Safin Note Tries to tie up an attacker in the slot who had been left alone, and gets called for a hooking penalty. Tough call. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Ostap Safin Note Bad play in his own end while under pressure from the PK unit. Should have moved the puck to safety, but his turned it over instead, and Veleno gets a clear path to the net. Safin couldn't find the puck off the boards and he overskated it, giving Veleno the puck. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Ostap Safin Note Big turn near the blue line as the puck goes the other way on the far side. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Ostap Safin Note Just looks like he hasn't developed much since he was 16. Footspeed is just average now, he looks kind of sluggish in general. Mostly invisible in this game. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Ostap Safin Note Floating around his own end. No urgency in his game despite being down three goals in the third. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Pavel Koltygin Note Goes to the boards in the neutral zone to try to stop a puck carrier, big stop but had trouble recoverying and changing direction after a pass, then he floated into his own zone watching the puck carrier skate it in. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Pavel Koltygin Note Pass comes in behind him, he spins and gets it, then fires it on net. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Pavel Koltygin Note Not fast enough. His feet in general are a weakness. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Pavel Koltygin Note Had a chance to stretch out his legs without the puck. His straight-line speed is okay over a distance, but I'm still not impressed with his skating over all. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Raphael Lavoie Note Chases down a deep toss into the zone taken by the defender, but Lavoie stays on him, lifts his stick, gains the puck. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Raphael Lavoie Note Doesn't hold the puck when the pass is the right play. Quick, decisive passes to the keep the puck moving on the powerplay. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Raphael Lavoie Note Goes to the net without the puck and nearly gets rewarded. Hard pass from the boards gets to him, but an excellent save from Rodrigue stops him. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Raphael Lavoie Note Never seems to go as hard as he can. He shows good acceleration at times, but it seldomly appears. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Raphael Lavoie Note Misses the net from the left circle. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Raphael Lavoie Note Converts a nifty pass from Morand into an open net. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Raphael Lavoie Summary Disappointing showing from Lavoie in this game. He has the hands and size, and he can skate, but he looks like he's putting out about 75% effort. That might be enough on most nights in Major Juniors for someone with his level of skill, but he willl level out fast if he doesn't start getting his work rate up. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Xavier Bernard Note Drops a big hit on a forward who was carrying the puck into the zone at full speed. Bernard had to know that he would take the worst of that hit, but he made the play anyway, and seperated the man from the puck. Nervy play. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Xavier Parent Note Gets low to the ice when skating, works a lot, moves well but speed is not outstanding. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Xavier Parent Note Big diving block of a slap shot at the point. His team is down by four goals and he sacrificed himself point blank. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Xavier Parent Note Nice saucer pass to his linemate cutting to the crease, but again Rodrigue makes a stop. Brian Fogarty Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/25/2018
Calen Addison Note Winds up and releases a bomb of a slapshot that missed the net by at least five feet, but the defender may have gotten a stick on it as Addison shot the puck. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
Calen Addison Note Moves well, confidently with the puck through the neutral zone. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
Calen Addison Note At his best carrying the puck up ice. He just went end to end, curled behind the net and found a trailer for a good chance. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
Calen Addison Summary Excels when he is moving the puck up the ice. Good passer, excellent skater and puck handler. Prone to mistakes in his own end, but recovers quickly because of his footwork. Needs to clean up his defensive game, however. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
Dylan Cozens Note Not tremendously fast, but moves okay. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
Dylan Cozens Note Nice pass though traffic to the back door. He put that through the legs of a defender and hit the tape. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
Dylan Cozens Note Difficult to move in front of the net, just so strong on his skates, gets good leverage. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
Dylan Cozens Note Uses the boards to bank the puck around the defender, goes to the puck, creates a chance. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
Dylan Cozens Summary Not a highlight-reel player who constantly electrifies the crowd with his moves, but he his a force on the ice. Sound at both ends, goes to the hard spots, extremely difficult for opponents to clear out of high-danger areas. However, he does have good offensive skills, vision and hands to complete the plays he sees. Smart player at both ends. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
Emil Malysjev Note Good skating moving backwards, then a quick stick and poke check to create a turnover. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
Emil Malysjev Summary Solid two-way defenseman, skating is above average, good decisions in his own end. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
Eric Florchuk Summary Has very good speed and skating abilities, but did not bring much else to the game. Pays attention to defense, can push the puck up ice, but did not show much creativity or flair in the offensive zone. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
Jordy Bellerive Note Just saved a goal by taking a dazzling Dach out of the play. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
Jordy Bellerive Note Backhand pass off the boards to the defender. His ill-advised passes are numerous. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
Jordy Bellerive Summary Bellerive shows all the tools necessary to be a respectable pro forward, but he made far too many poor choices with the puck, passing to defenders or to nobody at all, giving away pucks when it was unnecessary. Those types of mental lapses will haunt him going forward. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
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. Dach just destroyed a defender and the goalie with that move. Wow. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
Kirby Dach Note High-level puck handler, even in thick traffic. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
Kirby Dach Note Getting chippy at the top of the crease. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
Kirby Dach Note Notices his defenseman has lost stick, hands over his own, then goes straight to the bench for a new one. Smart play. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
Kirby Dach Note Draws opponents to him every time he gets the puck, opening a lot of ice for his teammates. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
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
Kristian Roykas Marthins Note Works a nice two-on-one break, sends a pass to the left saved by a sprawling, desperate netminder. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
Kristian Roykas Marthins Note Getting chippy at the top of the crease. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
Kristian Roykas Marthins Summary Roykas Marthinsen is a bottom-six type player with an honest work ethic and two-way game. Unlikely to become a prolific scorer, but a solid player who can gain his team puck possession. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
Logan Barlage Note Struggling to keep up while Saskatoon breaks out of the zone. Straightline speed is below average, at best. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
Logan Barlage Note Loses his man in front of the net because he couldn't match the agility and quick turn. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
Logan Barlage Summary Shows good hands and offensive awareness, but his below-average skating is problematic. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 11/21/2018
Danila Palivko Note Tall, good on his feet. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018
Danila Palivko Note Highly mobile. I like his quick lateral change of direction. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018
Danila Palivko Note Fighting for position and keeping his crease clear. His quickness helps, and he shows excellent balance despite the long legs. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018
Danila Palivko Summary Tall defender who skates remarkably well at this stage of development. Positionally sound, agile and quick, he disrupts plays by out moving the attacking forwards. Makes a good first pass, and shows confidence at the point. A promising prospect for the 2020 NHL draft. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018
Dylan Cozens Note Battling along the boards, kicks the puck out, gets free, feeds a pass to the slot Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018

Dylan Cozens Note Centering the top PP unit Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018
Dylan Cozens Note When he has the puck on his stick, opponents have a lot of difficulty getting it back, or closing him down for that matter. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018
Dylan Cozens Note Has the puck on the left wing boards, turns toward the blue line, cuts back down the boards, cuts back again, drawing three Saskatoon players towards him, then cycles the puck back to Barlage and jets to the slot, but the return pass was too far in front of him. Too bad. He deserved a chance to finish that play. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018
Dylan Cozens Note Killing penalties, active and lifts Florchuk's stick just as he was about to shoot. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018
Emil Malysjev Note Wrist shot from the point comes off his stick slowly, but with some juice. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018

Eric Florchuk Note Like his pace up the left side. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018

Jake Elmer Note Speedy through the zone without the puck. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018

Jordy Bellerive Note Moves well and confidently with the puck, head up, finding plays as they open up around him. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018
Jordy Bellerive Note Captain of the team, plays like the veteran that he is: calm, controlled. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018
Jordy Bellerive Note That's the second time I've seen him try to force a fancy pass that had low-probability of success, It looked cool, but leads to nothing but turnovers. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018
Jordy Bellerive Note He's a swooper: the kind of player who waits for something to develop and then swoops into the play. He's not a generator of offense, but he is engaged. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018
Jordy Bellerive Note Quick, engaged, but passes are not crisp or accurate or particularly well-decided. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018
Jordy Bellerive Note Skating the puck out of his own zone, throws a backhand pass to nobody. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018
Kirby Dach Note Down below the net, takes a hit to feed the puck to the slot. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018

Kirby Dach Note Superb pass through traffic to the doorstep for an easy conversion on the powerplay. Great look. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018
Kirby Dach Note Big body with good feet and hands. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018
Kirby Dach Note Comfortable switching to backward skating if the puck is coming up the ice behind him. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018
Kirby Dach Note Struggling on faceoffs so far, mostly up against Cozens. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018
Kirby Dach Note Looks like a fundamentally good skater in all directions, smooth on his edges. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018

Kristian Roykas Marthins Note Like his responsible play at his own end of the ice. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018
Kristian Roykas Marthins Note Seems like a player with good sense of the game, recognizes what's about to happen and goes to the good spots, either on defense or offense. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018
Kristian Roykas Marthins Note His speed is deceptive because he gets a lot of power from his base without looking like he's moving, but he's a big diesel motor. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018
Kristian Roykas Marthins Note Gets a breakaway, saved. Didn't have much time as the defender was on his heels, but he didn’t try much, either. Brian Fogarty Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (QMJHL) Video (With Replay) 10/6/2018

Antonio Stranges Note High work rate. Brian Fogarty Kitchner vs London (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/20/2018

Antonio Stranges Summary Goes hard on every shift, showing good hands, decent vision, and the competitiveness to always try to make a difference. He was disruptive in the offensive zone, both with and without the puck. Brian Fogarty Kitchner vs London (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/20/2018
Carter Tresoor Note Nice reach to gather a loose puck, but he then tries to make a risky pass instead of the better possession option. His team is down by four goals late, so it's time to take risks, but there was a better choice to be made there. Brian Fogarty Kitchner vs London (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/20/2018
Carter Tresoor Note Cuts to the net, but the pass doesn't reach him. Brian Fogarty Kitchner vs London (OHL) Video (With Replay) 10/20/2018

Michael Vukojevich Note Gives the puck away at the blue line, then immediately slashes as Raymond goes for a breakaway attempt. He had help, so the slash was unnecessary. The giveaway was bad, the slash was dumb. Brian Fogarty Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 8/8/2018

Benoit-Olivier Groulx Note Fires a hard shot directly off the faceoff win and drives to the net to follow up. This kid has an incredible reach with a very long stick. Kris Allen Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) Live 3/14/2018
Benoit-Olivier Groulx Note Uses his size and strength to work himself into a great shooting position but fubs the shot. Can't win 'em all. Kris Allen Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) Live 3/14/2018
Benoit-Olivier Groulx Note 5-on-3 powerplay for Halifax and he absolutely crushes a shot right into the goalie then chased down the rebound but missed the shot. This kid just knows he can get to any puck on the ice and uses his size and reach to his advantage. Kris Allen Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) Live 3/14/2018
Benoit-Olivier Groulx Note Strong effort to break up 2-on-1 and follows it up by busting through three defenders to generate a scoring chance. I swear this kid gets better every time I see him. Kris Allen Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) Live 3/14/2018
Benoit-Olivier Groulx Note Skated like a man on a mission to cleanly disrupt what was very nearly a breakaway. The kid doesn’t always show up on the score sheet but he knows how to contribute in many other ways. Kris Allen Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) Live 3/14/2018
Benoit-Olivier Groulx Note A deadly accurate shot over the goalies shoulder. Bo has arrived! Kris Allen Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) Live 3/14/2018
Benoit-Olivier Groulx Summary Was invisible in the 1st period but really came on as the game progressed. The scoring upside is somewhat limited here but coaches will like the well-rounded skillset he brings to the table. Late 1st unless a conservative team feels he fills a need for them and reaches. Kris Allen Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) Live 3/14/2018
Filip Zadina Note Carries the puck from behind his own net to the right side and feathers a pass out front for a great opportunity that wasn’t capitalized on. Moves through the neutral zone with a purpose and appears to view the defenders as a minor nuisance. Kris Allen Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) Live 3/14/2018
Filip Zadina Note Passing ability on full display as he dishes off a lightning quick pass in a net crashing play. This sniper isn’t always looking to shoot! Kris Allen Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) Live 3/14/2018
Filip Zadina Note On the penalty kill, he vacuums up the puck in front of his own net and cruises out through the neutral zone, crosses the opposing blue line on the right wing side, cuts hard to the net drawing all defenders then pulls up and circles the net killing a good piece of the opposing powerplay and almost generating a scoring chance. Kris Allen Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) Live 3/14/2018
Filip Zadina Note Got a little too cute trying to gain the zone and coughs it up on the blue line. Maybe he should start taking the defense more seriously. Kris Allen Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) Live 3/14/2018
Filip Zadina Note Pulls off a between-the-legs move to slip a defender in the opposing zone. Are you playing the same game these guys are, kid?!? Kris Allen Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) Live 3/14/2018
Filip Zadina Note Undresses three defenders in a play that just shouldn’t have worked. Kid is too good for Jr hockey. Kris Allen Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) Live 3/14/2018
Filip Zadina Note Silky give-and-go with McIsaac to get to the net. Kris Allen Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) Live 3/14/2018
Jared McIsaac Note Smooth movement from the left side into the top of the homeplate area for a goal on a sweet wrister. Displayed great poise with the puck getting the goalie moving laterally before shooting from a dangerous spot. Kris Allen Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) Live 3/14/2018
Jared McIsaac Note Makes a great read in the neutral zone and jumps up into the play on the anticipation of a pass. It ended up a broken play but displayed his IQ nonetheless. Kris Allen Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) Live 3/14/2018
Jared McIsaac Note Lines up and misses on what would have been a devastating hip check. Kris Allen Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) Live 3/14/2018
Jared McIsaac Note Silky give-and-go with Zadina to get to the net. Kris Allen Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) Live 3/14/2018
Jared McIsaac Summary He was blasting the puck every opportunity he got. He is in possession of a strong and accurate shot. With his offensive game really turning around in the second half of the season, his overall point totals will not be an accurate reflection of the sort of player he can be when playing with confidence and letting the puck rip. Kris Allen Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) Live 3/14/2018
Raphael Lavoie Summary One of the few minor critiques I can make on Lavoie’s game is that he might need to work on shot accuracy. Other than that this kid has all the makings of the next great out of Halifax. There’s no doubt this guy is a high end 1st rounder next year, the only question is how high. Kris Allen Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) Live 3/14/2018
Xavier Parent Note Tries to dance through neutral zone and gets overpowered, coughing it up. This kid has wheels and offensive instinct but often gets overpowered and needs to find better ways to make his skills work for him. Kris Allen Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) Live 3/14/2018
Xavier Parent Summary Multiple times Parent was getting knocked around when attempting skilled plays that probably blew people away in lower levels. It’s easy to see why people were hyped on this kid, but he’s clearly not shown enough at the major jr level to maintain the early season spotlight he had for the 2019 draft. If he can figure out how and when to employ his evident skillset he could pop next year. At this point I’m not sure if he’s much higher than a late 1st/early 2nd but he’ll be one I keep a close eye on. Kris Allen Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) Live 3/14/2018
Adam Raska Note Buries Mastrosimone, making him pay for puck watching. Gets called for boarding, but it wasn't. Brian Fogarty USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) Video (With Replay) 8/6/2018

John Farinacci Note Consistently winning faceoffs. Brian Fogarty USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) Video (With Replay) 8/6/2018
John Farinacci Note Rushed a decision in his own end and gave the puck away. Should have taken his time there and reset. Brian Fogarty USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) Video (With Replay) 8/6/2018
John Farinacci Summary Smooth skater with excellent edgework, gets to spots on the ice quickly. Always involved in the play, especially in the offensive zone, but looked good in his own end, too. Plays efficiently. Brian Fogarty USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) Video (With Replay) 8/6/2018
Luke Toporowski Note Speedy, good effort on the forecheck. Brian Fogarty USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) Video (With Replay) 8/6/2018

Marcel Barinka Note Really aggressive on the penalty kill, attacking the puck carrier, getting up ice to forecheck, then getting back to the top of the diamond. Brian Fogarty USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) Video (With Replay) 8/6/2018
Marcel Barinka Note Decent agility, but no speed yet in his stride, Looks lumbering in a straight line. Brian Fogarty USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) Video (With Replay) 8/6/2018
Marcel Barinka Note Down 4-0 late in the second period and he's trying hard to make something happen with the puck. Generating a couple of good chances with effort and force of will. Brian Fogarty USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) Video (With Replay) 8/6/2018
Marcel Barinka Summary Skating needs improvement, which could come as his builds into his 6'3 frame. Work rate was there, game awareness was there, and he goes to the net. Still needs to develop his play, but a decent player to watch. Brian Fogarty USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) Video (With Replay) 8/6/2018
Nicholas Robertson Note Tries to do too much with the puck and gives it away to the Czech penalty kill unit. Brian Fogarty USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) Video (With Replay) 8/6/2018
Nicholas Robertson Note Uses his foot to keep the puck in at the offensive blue line. Brian Fogarty USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) Video (With Replay) 8/6/2018
Nicholas Robertson Note Keeps the puck on his stick too long. Looks like a player who is used to having to do a lot on his own. Needs to realize that he has talented teammates around him. Brian Fogarty USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) Video (With Replay) 8/6/2018
Radek Muzik Note Looks big on the ice, generates good power from his first few steps Brian Fogarty USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) Video (With Replay) 8/6/2018

Radek Muzik Note Goes down into a puddle of a player in the offensive zone, and stays down for a while. Brian Fogarty USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) Video (With Replay) 8/6/2018
Radek Muzik Note Back on the ice after his extended time down in the circle. Brian Fogarty USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) Video (With Replay) 8/6/2018
Radek Muzik Summary Saw a lot of ice time in all situations, and his hustle was particularly useful on the penalty kill. In the zone, he makes decisions quickly, and generally found the right play with the puck, though seemed to lack a bit of creativity. Brian Fogarty USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) Video (With Replay) 8/6/2018
Robert Mastrosimone Note Not showing much hustle on the first-period powerplay. Going back to retrieve the puck looking almost disinterested Brian Fogarty USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) Video (With Replay) 8/6/2018
Robert Mastrosimone Note He may not move his feet much, but when the puck came to him in the offensive zone, he rifled a wrist shot from the top of the circle that beat the goalie clean. Zero hesitation, a bit off balance, snipes it home. Brian Fogarty USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) Video (With Replay) 8/6/2018
Robert Mastrosimone Note Tentative skater. He just turned the wrong way on a stop. Brian Fogarty USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) Video (With Replay) 8/6/2018
Robert Mastrosimone Note Thoughtless crosschecking in the offensive zone while on the forecheck, with just a minute left in the period. Absolutely no reason for that, at all. Brian Fogarty USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) Video (With Replay) 8/6/2018
Robert Mastrosimone Note Lots of power on that wrister. Missed the net, rattled the boards. Brian Fogarty USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) Video (With Replay) 8/6/2018

Robert Mastrosimone Note Finds a tasty rebound at the top of the crease and fires that nasty left-handed wrist shot past the goalie. He can shoot, no question about that. Brian Fogarty USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) Video (With Replay) 8/6/2018
Robert Mastrosimone Note In a game lacking flow and rhythm, Mastrosimone is the guy pouncing on chances. Its almost like this choppy pace suits his game just fine. Brian Fogarty USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) Video (With Replay) 8/6/2018
Robert Mastrosimone Summary Mastrosimone is a shooter. Needs to up his effort away from the puck. His passes were okay, but because he seems to want to shoot everything he touches (and for good reason), the rest of his game was harder to evaluate in this contest. His skating seems to have improved over previous viewings, but he only goes hard when he sees an opportunity. Brian Fogarty USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) Video (With Replay) 8/6/2018
Filip Prikryl Note First couple of steps look sluggish. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Filip Prikryl Note Passive the defensive zone, just shuffling around the middle/high slot area. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Filip Prikryl Note Puck on his stick in the offensive zone, defenders closing in, he turned into traffic instead of making an easier pass to an open defenseman at the blue line. Gives up the puck. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Filip Prikryl Note Needs to improve his speed. Right now he's a step or two off the pace, and that will become a limiting factor eventually. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Filip Prikryl Note Top of the crease during the powerplay, but not really setting screens as much as stepping to the side and looking for deflections. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Filip Prikryl Summary Good size at 6'0 but thin (roster has him at 158) and not overly physical at all. His skating is average at best, and his feet few steps do not help him at all. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Kaapo Kakko Note First shift, highly active in the offensive zone, with his stick and his feet. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Kaapo Kakko Note Uses his hands well to adjust puck distance when stickhandling, good through tight spaces, turns well on edges and commands the puck while changing directions Brian Fogarty Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018

Kaapo Kakko Note Making the right choices at every opportunity, smart decisions executed well. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Kaapo Kakko Note Constant movement with and without the puck pays off, as Kakko worked the puck from below the goal line out to the top of the circle, sends it to Ranta, then curls around to the crease. The puck finds him and he bangs it home. The best part was Kakko had his stick on the ice, in position, and the rebound came right to his blade. Fundamental hockey. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Kaapo Kakko Note Gets a pass on the neutral zone boards, harassed by two Czech players, spins out, dekes around another Czech player at the blue line and suddenly he's created a clean two-on-one. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Kaapo Kakko Note Almost looks more comfortable in traffic, it that's possible. Thrives when the play is close to him. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Kaapo Kakko Note Another instance where he outworks the opponents and comes away with the puck and a sudden opportunity on net. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Kaapo Kakko Summary Plays the game so well in so many respects, but what really stood out was his crisp, accurate decision-making and ability to dominate play in tight spaces. The Czechs had no answers for him in the game, and once the puck was on his stick, Kakko was able to make the plays he wanted to regardless of what the defenders tried. Fast, good burst, good hands and a quick release, but it was his mental game and vision that was impressive in this game. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Konsta Hirvonen Note Speedy, good acceleration, jumps up the ice and to the puck. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018

Mikko Kokkonen Note Good balance and skate strength, pinning players against the boards and keeping position with relative ease. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Mikko Kokkonen Note Uses his own net well to gain position on forecheckers. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Mikko Kokkonen Summary Got a ton of ice time in the game, and for good reason. Plays with energy and speed, works the puck quickly but without rushing the play, and is willing to either skate the puck out of the zone or make good sharp breakout passes. Pushes up ice and joins the rush when the opportunity is there. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Mikko Petman Note Not the prettiest game right now, but he works hard. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018

Mikko Petman Summary Average speed that should improve over the coming months. Works and plays hard, but his struggled to get everything wrapped into a quality package.

Petr Cajka Note Takeaway at the blue line by proper positioning and stickwork. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Petr Cajka Summary Seems to lack offensive creativity, but he worked hard despite some errors in his own end. Pushed play up the ice when he had the puck, but lacks a spark. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Ville Heinola Note Has the puck at the left point, shoulder-fakes the forward defending him to draw him off the boards and then lays a pass down to his teammate on the half-boards. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Ville Heinola Note Well-read play gets him to the puck in the neutral zone and he slaps it back into the Czech end, stopping a breakout. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Ville Heinola Summary Smart defender who mans the point, but tends more to patrol his own end of the ice. Positions himself well, makes good reads. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Antoine Morand Note Good edges give him quick, accelerating changes of direction. Brian Fogarty Acadie-Bathurst vs Regina (Memoial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/20/2018

Cale Fleury Note Next shift, gets caught floating up ice in his own end, leaving a huge gap in coverage, and another puck in the net against. Brian Fogarty Acadie-Bathurst vs Regina (Memoial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/20/2018

German Rubtsov Note Lacking quickness, but gets around the ice okay. Brian Fogarty Acadie-Bathurst vs Regina (Memoial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/20/2018

Jake Leschyshyn Note First step is a hop instead of a good push. Brian Fogarty Acadie-Bathurst vs Regina (Memoial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/20/2018
Jake Leschyshyn Note Hard work below the goal line, both even strength and on the penalty kill. Battles, uses balance on his skates to dig in for position. Brian Fogarty Acadie-Bathurst vs Regina (Memoial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/20/2018
Justin Ducharme Note Killing penalties, looking for shorthanded chances but not cheating the play. Brian Fogarty Acadie-Bathurst vs Regina (Memoial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/20/2018

Arthur Kaliyev Note Tic-tac-toe, he's the toe, gets the puck near his feet but gets a good shot on net that only a quality save kept out of the net. Smart read to get to the right spot on a three-way passing play in motion. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018

Head is up, looking for options, and generally makes the right choices. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Koby Morrisseau Note Getting no ice time in the game. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Libor Hajek Note Pinches to keep the puck active in the offensive zone Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Libor Hajek Note Fluid skater. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Libor Hajek Note Nice pass from behind his own goal line to pick out the right breakout option. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Libor Hajek Note Pivots are smooth, hips are quick. Doesn't lose anything when he transitions to backwards skating. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Libor Hajek Summary A two-way defenseman who plays a smart game in all zones. His reads in the defensive zone are solid, and he can make the pass or skate the puck out of trouble. Not a huge offensive threat, but has the look of a middle-pair NHL defenseman. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Marian Studenic Note Well-balanced, keeps his feet despite hits along the boards Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Marian Studenic Note From the right circle, wires a laser wrist shot top corner short side. Perfect spot. Hard, accurate shot. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Marian Studenic Note Great agility and edges, really good mover at 6'1. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Matt Bradley Note Moves well, switches to backward on his edges to keep face to the puck. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Matt Bradley Note Good read to send a flubbed pass back instead of trying to turn it up ice. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Matt Bradley Note Getting lots of offensive-zone ice time, especially on the power play. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Matt Bradley Note Bit of push and shove after the whistle. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Matt Bradley Summary Not a huge offensive threat, but plays a solid game in all three zones. Could be a serviceable bottom-six player at the pro levels. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Matthew Strome Note Gets nothing from his skates. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Matthew Strome Note His skating is simply unacceptable at the NHL level. Without improvement, he's not going to make the cut. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Matthew Strome Note Uses his body well at the crease. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Nick Henry Note Sneaky backhand shot from the slot. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Nick Henry Note Decent skater, not the tightest of turns or the fastest, but good enough. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Nick Henry Note Late in the third, finds a rebound in the slot and snaps it home despite traffic, breaks the tie late. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Robbie Holmes Note Like his top-end speed. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Robbie Holmes Note Not much acceleration, hunched over, truncated strides in his first steps. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Robbie Holmes Note Looks like a different skater when in motion. Struggles through the first few steps, but can motor and change gears when he's already going. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Robert Thomas Note Out to kill a penalty early. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Robert Thomas Note Tips a point shot at the high slot for the game's first goal. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Robert Thomas Note Controls the puck while using edges for a hard turn. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Robert Thomas Note His shot is hard and really deceptive. Fooled the nettie on two straight shots, one off the cross bar. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Robert Thomas Note Shoulder fakes, hand fakes, stick fakes. Super elusive when the puck is on his stick. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Robert Thomas Note Beautiful vision late in the third period, threads a pass through several defenders, but the ultimate shot was saved. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Robert Thomas Summary Thomas has blossomed into a legitimate NHL hockey player with a complete game. Kills penalties, backchecks, forechecks, and when he has the puck on his stick, he's in complete command of the game. Always on the ice in this game, and never looked winded or playing at less than full speed. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Sam Steel Note Lightning from the one-timer! Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Will Bitten Note Works hard on the forecheck. Not fast, but adequate speed. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Will Bitten Note Hard on the back check. Nice speed there. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Will Bitten Summary Bitten looks like a different player than what he showed a couple of years ago. Plays hard in his own end, and hounds the puck, but he looks like a player whose offensive confidence is massively depleted. He has puck skills and a shot, but looked timid in the offensive zone in this game, and his stats show it. Brian Fogarty Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) Video (With Replay) 5/18/2018
Aleksi Heponiemi Note Edges and agility are so much fun to watch Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Aleksi Heponiemi Note Shows off his great speed to get back and stop the clean Ducharme breakaway, and Ducharme has good wheels. Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Aleksi Heponiemi Summary So quick, so fast, and has great hands and vision to match his feet. Has all the special tools needed to overcome his incredibly slight frame (5'10, 141 pounds at 19). There is a definitely a place for him in the current NHL, and he could become a threat on a top-six wing. Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Colby Sissons Note Horrible backhand pass along the offensive blue line. Just threw it blind to the middle of the ice, and it led to a clean breakaway for the opponents. Horrible play. Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Glenn Gawdin Note Feisty, physical, pushes the line Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Glenn Gawdin Note Second time he's taken a penalty for being overly aggressive (roughing, slashing) when it wasn't necessary. Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Glenn Gawdin Summary Hard-playing agitator with some skill, but his game is more brute force than finesse. Put up 125 points and 101 minutes in penalties in an overage season, but points are more than his previous two seasons combined. Looks like a future AHL player who can get a few cracks at a NHL roster. Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Justin Ducharme Note Killing penalties, shows good speed through the neutral zone as he goes after a puck Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Justin Ducharme Note Uses his speed to get back to break up an attack. Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Justin Ducharme Note End of a long shift, but he let his man get ahead of him into the defensive zone and take a good pass for a one-on-one with the goalie. Ducharme slashed him to try to prevent the grade-A chance. Two more strides would have prevented all of it. Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Justin Ducharme Note Good read to intercept the blue-line pass and take off for a shorthanded break Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Justin Ducharme Note Quiet skater, smooth easy strides generate quality speed. Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Justin Ducharme Summary Speedy, played with a high level of energy and worked hard at both ends. Had a few off moments (see the note about letting his man get away from him), but in general he was involved with the play in all three zones. Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Max Patterson Note Tall, long legs, moves okay but looks like he needs to develop into his frame. Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Max Patterson Note Acceleration is lacking at this point, a bit lumbering in short spaces, but okay on edges and straight lines. Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Max Patterson Note Has adequate speed once he gets going, but he'll need to improve his first few steps to have any future success. Could be fixed with coaching and training. Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Michal Ivan Note Plays a physical game, locks up an opponent on the boards. Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Michal Ivan Note Willing to push play up ice with above-average speed, but more of defensive-minded two-way defender. 70/30-type guy. Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Michal Ivan Note Takes a hit to make the correct play. Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Noah Dobson Note Strong, not fast, skating with big, smooth strides. Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Noah Dobson Note Uses his body and angles to shield the puck from forecheckers. Solid edgework allows him to gain superior position. Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Noah Dobson Note Takes the puck into the offensive zone and fires a shot on goal. Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Noah Dobson Note With nettie down and out, Dobson with a leg save. Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Noah Dobson Note On the power play, moving into open spaces, calling out directions, finding spots, rips a one-timer, saved. Like his command of the shift, there. Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Noah Dobson Note He's quality, and will become a very mobile defenseman with size and offensive control/command. Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Noah Dobson Summary Dobson is the complete package for an NHL defenseman. He's got great size at 6'3 and 178 and will add muscle as me matures physically. He plays a smart, accurate game in the defensive zone, using his stick, feet and smarts to gain and keep position against attackers, either in front of the net or in the corners. He plays like a field marshal, aligning his troops effectively, at both ends of the ice. He has a good shot and uses it appropriately, but also makes good, sharp passes in all three zones. Dobson has the potential to be a NHL All-Star player. Brian Fogarty Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C Video (With Replay) 5/19/2018
Alexander Turcotte Note Uses his edges a lot to moderate speed and angle. Above-average speed but not a flyer. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Alexander Turcotte Note Second-unit PP time Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Alexander Turcotte Note Great vision from below the goal line to snag a loose puck and immediately find a teammate in the slot. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Alexander Turcotte Note Bad shift in the defensive zone. Looked out of position, jumping plays in the wrong direction. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Alexander Turcotte Summary Skating and hands are there, as is his vision and offensive-zone play. A bit shaky in the defensive zone, with mental mistakes that illustrate more his youth and inexperience at this level of play than his ability. Still looks raw, but promising. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Cole Caufield Note Poor choice to turn up ice while the puck went the other way. Should have engaged there instead of trying to jump the play. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Cole Caufield Note Second-unit PP time, struggling to find a rhythm, losing pucks at his feet more than once. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Cole Caufield Note A shooter, through and through. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Cole Caufield Note Just sloppy in his own end. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Cole Caufield Note That's the second time he's tried to bounce one off of the goaltender from below the goal line. Low percentage play that he thinks he can make. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Cole Caufield Summary Small, quick player who looks like he is always thinking about putting the puck on the net, too often at the expense of other, better options. More than once he looked up ice from his own zone instead of committing to defense. In the offensive end, he buzzed and worked hard, but made questionable choices, going for the riskier plays instead of the more simple options that used his teammates. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
David Lilja Note In the slot on the powerplay, takes a nice pass, tries to redirect but hits the shins of the defender, but he grabs the rebound and snaps it past the netminder. Quick, accurate hands. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
David Lilja Note Plays from the hashmarks down, If he's not in that area, he goes hard to get there. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
David Lilja Note Not the greatest skater. Wide feet in his stride slows him down a bit. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
David Lilja Summary Puts in a lot of effort on every shift, plays the game in the high-contact areas and looks comfortable there. Showed good hands on more than just his goal, and although his skating needs work, he was consistently in good spots on the ice. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Jonatan Berggren Note Moves through the slot, gets a pass, fires just wide. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Jonatan Berggren Note Moves well without the puck on the powerplay, working toward open, dangerous spots on the ice. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Jonatan Berggren Note Puck handles through the offensive zone, gets a clean path to the net, but saved by the goaltender. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Jonatan Berggren Note Skates with a smooth calmness, covers distance but is not what I would call fast. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Jonatan Berggren Note Liked how he came out of the corner and found his point man with a nice pass to set up a shot on goal. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Jonatan Berggren Note Defensive hustle and awareness on that shift was excellent. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Jonatan Berggren Note Nice, smart, simple pass to complete the transition through the neutral zone. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Jonatan Berggren Summary Smart player with good vision and game awareness. Showed solid work rate at both ends of the ice, above-average vision and hands, and good skating. He also shows the capacity to simplify the game, a quality attribute in this age group. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Nikola Pasic Note Skating looks clunky and off balance Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Nikola Pasic Note Edges are not great. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Nikola Pasic Summary Skating needs a lot of work for him to be able to excel at upper levels of the game. Works hard on the ice, shows decent awareness and skills, so if he can improve his footwork, could become a good prospect. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Trevor Janicke Note Looks confidant skating the puck through the neutral zone. Good pace with the puck on his stick. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Trevor Janicke Note Killing penalties, forechecking hard. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Trevor Janicke Note Looked slow on that shift. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Trevor Janicke Summary An all-around good player that goes up and down the ice. Small but solid frame that he uses well. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) Video (With Replay) 4/22/2018
Alexander Khovanov Note Centering Denisenko and Svechnikov is a plum assignment Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Alexander Khovanov Note Gets a two-on-one and chips the puck over to Denisenko who plants it. Proper read, easy play. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Alexander Khovanov Note Attentive on defense, good backchecking, uses his speed to get back. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Alexander Zhabreyev Note Small, scrappy player. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Alexander Zhabreyev Note Out of the penalty box, jets to a loose puck and makes a nifty pass to release an attack. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Alexander Zhabreyev Note Not fair that he's on a line with Iskhakov, who is roughly the same size but just so much better at basically everything. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Bode Wilde Note Left point on the powerplay Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Bode Wilde Note One-timers are low to the ice but not particularly powerful because he hasn't had a truly clean connection. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Bode Wilde Note Again with a one-timer that he doesn't catch cleanly, and this one sails up over the net. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Jack Hughes Note What a wonderful look to Farabee who hits the wide-open net. Hughes was brilliant on that play. This game has been heating up, and I wondered who would step up. Hughes did there. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Jake Pivonka Note Pivonka will be a bottom-six player on a NHL team. Wins faceoffs, always working, takes punishment. Workhorse player. Unpretentious game. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Jake Wise Note Carrying the puck through the neutral zone on the powerplay, shovels it to his left to no one in particular Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Jake Wise Note On the penalty now, using his feet, stick, positioning to create turnovers and disrupt plays Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Jake Wise Note Battler with agility, change of direction and skill. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Jake Wise Note Centering the top powerplay unit, with Hughes, Wahlstrom and Farabee Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Jake Wise Note On the penalty kill again, draws a penalty with pure hustle. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Jake Wise Note Stick lift and picks Denisenko's pocket Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Jake Wise Note Acceleration isn't great, but otherwise a good skater. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Jake Wise Note Fantastic give-and-go with Farabee, who hits Wise back and springs him into the slot. Wise beats the goaltender, but not the post. Excellent play, and on the penalty kill. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Jake Wise Note His lack of burst cost him some D coverage there. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Jake Wise Note Like his patience there to hold the puck under pressure and wait for the play to develop. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
K'Andre Miller Note Makes me crazy. Takes the puck deep, throws a mostly no-look pass to Hughes who buries it. Awesome play. This guy is going to make the fans of his NHL team apoplectic. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
K'Andre Miller Note Absolutely ridiculous turnover? Was the Russian player calling for the puck? That was bad. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Kirill Marchenko Note Leads a three-on-one down the left, pulls up to wait for a diving defender to slide by, then nails Morozov with a perfect pass for an easy redirection goal. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Kirill Marchenko Note Not of lot of urgency in his game, his whole posture looks nonchalant. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Kirill Marchenko Note Nice skater in all directions, decent puck handler, too, but doesn't look like he has put all the parts together yet. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Mattias Samuelsson Note Makes the absolute wrong choice, gives a clean giveaway to Svechinikov to punishes him with a breakaway goal. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Mattias Samuelsson Note Down 3-0 in the second period, on the powerplay, and his puck movement looks a bit lazy to me. Nearly gave another puck away. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Oliver Wahlstrom Note I'm a fan. I'd want him on my NHL favorite NHL team if I had one. Fans will love this guy. Brian Fogarty USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Adam Boqvist Note Still haven't seen Boqvist use a slap shot. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Adam Boqvist Note There's a slap shot! A one-timer attempt, but he fanned miserably on the attempt and had to corral the loose puck and reset. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Adam Boqvist Note Doesn't rattle easily, this kid. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Filip Prikryl Note Tries to deke and drag, got an off-balance shot away but easily saved by good goaltender positioning. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Jakub Lauko Note Showing off his speed again. Such a fast straight-line player, always a threat to go deep. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Jakub Lauko Note Wow! Gets the puck at his own right-wing circle while on the penalty kill, saw the point player pinching down on him, and banged the puck off the boards into the empty space in the neutral zone, jetting around the defender and got a dangerous breakaway chance shorthanded. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Jakub Lauko Note Again with speed to the outside, another partial breakaway, takes a slash on his hands, get the goaltender to the ice, but a great save foils the attack. Without the slash, Lauko could probably have elevated the puck more and gotten it up over the sprawling leg. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Jakub Lauko Note Trying to get something going, but his support is lacking. He's basically on his own in the offensive zone. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Michal Teply Note Big guy, a bit cumbersome in his skating form Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Michal Teply Note Below-average speed, but decent awareness helps. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Michal Teply Note Just got undressed by Boqvist. Yikes. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Samuel Fagemo Note Willing to engage physically. First couple of steps are a bit sluggish. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Samuel Fagemo Note Goes to the net with the puck. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Samuel Fagemo Note High-traffic-area player. Looks comfortable with lots of bodies around him. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Vojtech Doktor Note Nice skater, threw a hard shot on net. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018
Vojtech Doktor Note Gets called for a boarding, but I don't think he had a chance on that. Tried to stop Gustafsson cutting behind the net, and Gustafsson turned at the point of contact. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/16/2018

Adam Boqvist Note Saucer passes land nice and flat, with good weighting, especially soft for one-timers Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Adam Boqvist Note Uses his edges so well to adjust speed and course in order to get to the right spot on the ice. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Adam Boqvist Note Not afraid to lead the rush Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Adam Boqvist Note I want to see what his slapshot looks like, but I haven't seen one yet. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Adam Boqvist Note Partial breakaway, good save then he's the guy back tying up the trailer to prevent a two-on-way the other way. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Adam Boqvist Summary So impressive as a player, at both ends of the ice. He is a leader on the ice, always involved in the play at both ends, and skates beautifully. He's an it-factor player who stands out, even among the best players of his age group. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Axel Andersson Note Speedy and agile, smooth on his pivots Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018

Axel Andersson Note On the powerplay Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Axel Andersson Note Locked up with Farabee, neutralizes and matches his speed with position and active stickwork. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Axel Andersson Note Skates the puck through the neutral zone and wrists one on net. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Axel Andersson Summary Overshadowed by his more skilled teammate Adam Boqvist, but an otherwise quality two-way defenseman. Plays a smart, aware game at both ends, very good skating, moves the puck up ice with either a first pass or skating out to the neutral zone. Handles the puck well, and has vision to be a good distributor. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Bode Wilde Note Quietly having an excellent game, then bam! A rocket slapshot from the blueline beats the goaltender clean. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
David Gustafsson Note Gains possession in the corner of his defensive zone, hesitates, and gets stripped of the puck. Needed a quicker decision there. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
David Gustafsson Note Very wide stride, doesn't bring his feet back underneath but outside of his shoulders. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
David Gustafsson Note Skating is just okay. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
David Gustafsson Note Crafty faceoff win in the offensive zone Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
David Gustafsson Summary Has some tools, but unless he can improve on his skating, he looks like a player that will struggle at the higher levels. Didn't show particularly exciting offensive ability, but could be a solid bottom-six worker if he can get his skating up to what it needs to be. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Jack Hughes Note Literally trying not watch him, but he just demands attention. So good. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Jacob Olofsson Note Fantastic move to freeze a defender and go around him easily. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018

K'Andre Miller Note Strong and physical on the boards. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
K'Andre Miller Note Is there an opposite of stay-at-home? Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
K'Andre Miller Note Really nice skater for his size. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
K'Andre Miller Note Solid and positionally aware in his own zone, offensive instincts, shot and passing are very good, but his decision-making in the neutral zone is often curious at best. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
K'Andre Miller Note Noticeably absent when it's time to kill penalties. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
K'Andre Miller Note Nice hip check. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
K'Andre Miller Summary Continues to confuse me with his decision-making. In general, he's a big body and a good skater, fluid and strong, plays with a bit of snarl in his game. In the offensive zone he makes decent reads, passes well and has a good shot. But too many times he attacks the puck at in the neutral zone (either leaving the D zone or while transitioning back from the offensive zone) and gets caught out of position and becomes a defensive liability. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Marcus Westfalt Note Goes to the net, and flicks the puck off the post. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Marcus Westfalt Note Working against Miller in the corner, wins the puck. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Marcus Westfalt Note Often just shovels the puck instead of crisp passing Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Marcus Westfalt Summary Player who can help his team gain and keep the puck, and has some offensive upside. Middle-six looks like the upside, though. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Oliver Wahlstrom Note The accuracy on that shot to the top corner, from the blue line, was ridiculous. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Patrick Giles Note Using his size to take up the top-of-the-crease space on the powerplay Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Patrick Giles Note Tiny strides, upright with shoulders down Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Patrick Giles Note Backhand flip into traffic goes the other way. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Patrick Giles Summary Not overly impressive in this game. Made some bad choices, average skater, but willing to do the dirty work when necessary. Needs additional looks to get a better read on his game. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Ty Emberson Note Calm, maintains his gap, then staples his man to the board. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018

Ty Emberson Note Good job to use the boards for a bounce pass breakout. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Ty Emberson Summary Good size with mobility and sound defensive awareness. Not overly physical but plays the body well. His offensive contributions were relatively limited in the game, but he moves the puck well, and generally makes the right choice when distributing. Brian Fogarty Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/13/2018
Adam Boqvist Note Fakes left, goes right, shakes the defender who then just tackles Boqvist to the ice Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Adam Boqvist Note Activating quickly, but has the wheels to get back to his coverage when the puck goes the other way. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Adam Boqvist Note Excellent skater Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Adam Boqvist Note Uses his stick and speed to disrupt a potential breakaway - smart, fast play. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Adam Boqvist Note Skating is effortless and so fast and agile, allows him to engage quickly and recover, but his smarts keeps him out of trouble in the first place. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Adam Boqvist Note Trying so hard to make something happen for the Swedes. All over the offensive zone on that powerplay sequence. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Adam Boqvist Note Got a lot of power on that wrist shot, just inches wide Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Adam Boqvist Note Slings his shot more than really leaning into it, but he gets power behind it. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Adam Boqvist Note Distributes the puck quickly, wisely. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Adam Boqvist Summary Boqvist is a fast and agile skater, with excellent (or better) lateral and backwards movement and acceleration. His skating is a weapon at both ends of the ice. He is a smart player who makes good reads, and will lead rushes out of his own end. Defensively, he plays sensible, smart positional play, using angles and his skating to keep defenders away from the danger spots. In transition or on offense, he can beat defenders one-on-one, his vision in the zone is superb and his overall hockey iq is upper echelon. Shooting needs a bit of work to develop a range of shots, but shows power and accuracy on the shot he has now. Boqvist is deserving of his top-prospect status. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Adam Ginning Note Colty legs, long and thin. Skates well, though. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Adam Ginning Note Strides look slow, but his legs are so long its hard to read. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Adam Ginning Note Bad blue-line, backhand pass that was an easy interception and quickly goes the other way. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Adam Ginning Note Passes are a bit too deliberate, telegraphing his puck movement. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Adam Ginning Summary Tall, thin defender who needs time to develop his game. There were flaws (thoughtless passing, positional problems, a slowness in his decision-making) that make me skeptical, but time will tell. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Arttu Nevasaari Note Gets his second goal of the game, again from right at the top of the crease, this time another one-touch tip in, but while getting crosschecked to the ice. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Arttu Nevasaari Note Changes speed to fool defenders Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Arttu Nevasaari Summary Good net presence that resulted in goals. Good skater, especially with the puck, but Nevasaari is a better forward off the puck, the guy who will absorb the hits to make a play, and he showed good hands to convert his chances. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Jacob Olofsson Note Smart, calm pass back to his own end on the penalty kill. Like the didn't try to force something there. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Jacob Olofsson Note Flubs a great pass and a wide-open net. Gets a second chance from the same spot on the same shift, but gets stopped by a dandy glove save. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Jacob Olofsson Summary Consistently involved in the play, but in this game was not overly impactful. He made plays, but not enough, and looked average in several aspects of the game. Above-average skating. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Jesperi Kotkaniemi Note Sharp, quick pass to the slot and hits the stick of Nevasaari. Great pass for an easy goal. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Jesperi Kotkaniemi Note Constantly involved in the play, gets a loose puck behind the net and a quick wraparound goal. That's a goal and two assists in the first period, so far. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Jesperi Kotkaniemi Note Working the left point on the powerplay, just made two fantastic plays to keep the puck in the offensive zone, on the first he zipped a long diagonal pass to find a dangerous chance at the far circle. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Jesperi Kotkaniemi Note Skates the puck though the offensive zone like he's on a mission. So determined, fast. Good puck carrier. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Jesperi Kotkaniemi Note All alone in the high slot, Nordgren finds him, and he sends the water bottle for a ride. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Jesperi Kotkaniemi Summary A constant presence in the game, always working, always around the puck. Passes were sharp and on target, willing to take punishment to get to the traffic areas and made good plays when he was there. This was a multi-point game where everything seemed to work for him. Skating was good but didn't stand out as being a superior skill, but his high work rate and game awareness certainly did. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Lenni Killinen Note On the doorstep, parked at the crease, got two good looks at the net. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018

Oscar Back Note Tall player Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Oscar Back Note Bends at the waist when he skates, more than bends his knees. Has a hunched over look a lot of the time. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Oscar Back Note Skating looks awkward as mentioned, but his hands are deft and agile. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Oscar Back Note Skating definitely needs improvement, good balance but lacks power and speed. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Oscar Back Note Little spin move at the offensive blue line and backhands a pass to the man on the wing. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Oscar Back Summary Skating is an issue as his mechanics look problematic at present. Seemed to look a step slower than the game pace and as such didn't contribute much to the game. Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Sampo Ranta Note Uses his edges well, keeps his feet wide apart when gliding with the puck into the zone Brian Fogarty Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Adam Gajarsky Note Drops a big shoulder into the puck carrier at the blue line. Solid, crunching hit. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Adam Gajarsky Note Loses his balance while trying to turn quickly. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Adam Gajarsky Note Holding the puck below the end line on the powerplay, managing the flow well. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Adam Gajarsky Note Carries the puck up ice to gain the zone on the power play, then tries to force himself between two Russian defenders and gives the puck away. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Adam Gajarsky Summary Showed moments of offensive awareness, but was not effective in general. Had a good work rate, but made some poor decisions with and away from the puck, and was a non-factor in the game Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Andrei Svechnikov Note Out to kill a 5-on-3 powerplay Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Andrei Svechnikov Note Blocks a point shot Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018

Andrei Svechnikov Note Well-placed pass finds Denisenko in the high slot for a one-timer goal. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Andrei Svechnikov Note The number of tools that he has and uses appropriately to keep puck possession is astounding at times. He'll use his size, reach, stick lifts, positioning, quickness, strength, all alternating with intelligent choices and quick hands and awareness are well matched. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Andrei Svechnikov Note Possession machine: weaves through traffic in the neutral zone, gains the zone, makes a power move to the net, wards off the defender with his body, changes direction, gets a good wraparound chance. At least four opponents tried to get the puck from him, and not one of them was close. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Andrei Svechnikov Note Showing off his passing skills on that sequence. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Andrei Svechnikov Note Up 6-2, five minutes left in the 3rd and he's out on the penalty kill. Intercepts a pass in the offensive zone, then dekes, waits, and that’s a shorthanded goal. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Andrei Svechnikov Summary Not a lot more to say about Svechnikov. Big, high iq, excellent hands and tremendous puck possession player. I liked that he was not forcing passes in this game, and instead playing inside the flow of the game. Svechnikov is a natural talent who would be first overall in the 2018 draft if not for the brilliance that is Dahlin. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Grigory Denisenko Note Skating is very good, nice crossover steps, generates good speed going backwards while controlling the puck. Offensive IQ is really good. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Grigory Denisenko Note Patiently working the puck on the left half-boards, buying time, then wires a pass cross ice to Svechnikov, hard, right on the tape through traffic. Great pass. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Grigory Denisenko Note Gets good jump up ice, draws a penalty shot! For his shot, he starts wide left, glides into the slot, and wrists one far side above a low glove from Dostal. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Grigory Denisenko Note Calm with the puck, changes speed easily while in possession, gets the defender to move and then capitalizes on the open space. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Grigory Denisenko Note Great backcheck play to break up a potential 2-on-1 and gets a clean takeaway. Up 6-2 and working hard to stop attacks. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Grigory Denisenko Summary Smart hockey player with top-notch vision and offensive abilities, but who works hard on the back check and kills penalties. Worked incredibly well with Svechnikov, and the two were devastating on the ice together in this game. Quick hands and really patient with the puck on his stick. He's a playmaker with a shot and the ability to put the puck in the net. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Ivan Morozov Note Picks off a slow, lazy pass in the neutral zone, then hits the offensive zone, rips one far side, bar down from the circle. Great read, nasty shot, all on a 3-on-5 penalty kill Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018

Jakub Lauko Note Working the slot on the powerplay Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Jakub Lauko Note Works hard to get a shot away with a Russian player on his back, then goes hard and awkwardly into the boards. Looks like a shoulder injury. Gets helped off the ice, bent double with his arm immobile. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Jakub Lauko Note Back on the ice in the second period after that nasty-looking crash into the corner boards in the first. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Jakub Lauko Note Shows excellent play awareness to intercept a pass in his own zone. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Jakub Lauko Note Stupendous vision to find the backhand pass around a defender to find a teammate cutting across the end line for a far post chance that draws a penalty. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Jakub Lauko Note More displays of vision as he fakes and finds a teammate at the post, who then misses a wide-open net high. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Jakub Lauko Note Fast, creates a breakaway, but a really good save stops him. Gained two steps on the defender in the puck race. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Jakub Lauko Note Puck race, uses his reach to poke the puck forward ahead of the defender, then uses his speed to get around him, but runs out of ice Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Jakub Lauko Note Hard slapper puts a defender to the ice. Lauko has easily been the Czechs' most dangerous player. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Jakub Lauko Note Horrible slash against Svechnikov. Frustration play down 4-2 in the third as Svechnikov was alone in the slot. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Jakub Lauko Note Hard power move down the right wing, keeps the puck to the outside, drops his shoulder, drives the net and chips the puck up just over the bar. Speed and power wide with good hands on that play. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Jakub Lauko Summary Lots of tools with high iq and vision, skates well and shows good instincts at both ends of the ice. Played hard on every shift, and showed a lot of competitiveness in coming back to the ice after that bad-looking moment in the first period. Might not have the elite-level talent, but he's a good, smart hockey player Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Michal Kvasnica Note Skating is smooth and powerful, backwards and transitioning Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018

Michal Kvasnica Note Working in front of the nettie on the powerplay. Strong in maintaining his spot, but not overly dangerous when the puck reaches his stick Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Michal Kvasnica Note Drags his back foot to try to fake the defender, then shoots a medium-strength wrist shot from distance that the goaltender handled easily. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Michal Kvasnica Summary Very good skater with size who is hard worker, but looks like he lacks offensive instincts and hand skills. Moves the puck okay, but is more effective on the penalty kill or clogging up the middle than he is with the puck on his stick. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Ruslan Iskhakov Note Super speedy, change of directions, straightline, acceleration, first step. Excellent skater, but so small. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Ruslan Iskhakov Note Stick skills and speed are off the charts. Brian Fogarty Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) Video (With Replay) 2/15/2018
Ruslan Iskhakov Summary Has everything that is needed and wanted from a hockey player: speed, quickness, explosive skating, puck skills, non-stop motor, awareness, iq. The full package deal. The problem is that he's listed at 5'7 and looks even smaller on ice, and he plays away from contact and danger. Can his game translate to small ice with men that are taller, bigger and stronger?

Andrei Svechnikov Note Amazing backhand pass that found an open man, but was too good and the teammate skated past the puck. Brian Fogarty Barrie vs London (OHL) Video (With Replay) 2/2/2018
Andrei Svechnikov Note Coming off the leftwing side, protects the puck by dragging it off his left hip, changes angle, puts a hard wrist shot on goal, saved but the goalie had no idea where the puck was when it hit him. Brian Fogarty Barrie vs London (OHL) Video (With Replay) 2/2/2018
Andrei Svechnikov Note Ridiculous shift in which at least four opposing players had cracks at him down low but couldn't stop him at all, gets the shot off, rebound gets put away. Filthy, filthy assist. Brian Fogarty Barrie vs London (OHL) Video (With Replay) 2/2/2018

Andrei Svechnikov Note Again showing a tendency to force passes. It's an aspect of his game that is problematic. Brian Fogarty Barrie vs London (OHL) Video (With Replay) 2/2/2018
Andrei Svechnikov Summary Simply no denying that Svechnikov is extremely talented, with size and tremendous work ethic at both ends of the ice. Drives the net, makes strong and dexterous plays that not many players can make. A couple of coachable flaws like forcing passes when unnecessary, but the creativity, skillset and forceful play are off the charts. Elite talent in a big frame.

Evan Bouchard Note Tracks back to the puck so well, so calm and in control Brian Fogarty Barrie vs London (OHL) Video (With Replay) 2/2/2018
Evan Bouchard Note How does he always end up where the puck is? Offensive zone, defensive zone, wherever. Puck goes to a player, it's often Bouchard. Brian Fogarty Barrie vs London (OHL) Video (With Replay) 2/2/2018
Evan Bouchard Note Typifying his smart play, he brings the puck into the offensive zone, drops the puck to a trailing forward, then closes the gap to the defender and lifts his stick to give the new puck carrier more time and space to make a play. Brian Fogarty Barrie vs London (OHL) Video (With Replay) 2/2/2018

Evan Bouchard Summary Big offensive-defenseman (6'2, 192) who captains the London Knights as if he was born to play that role. Always engaged in the play, whether fronting the oppositions top attackers or creating or joining a rush. Has a nose for the net, a variety of offensive weapons, but yet is the first guy back to the defensive zone. Chooses his attacks wisely and is rarely out of position. Could be a top-five pick in his draft class. Brian Fogarty Barrie vs London (OHL) Video (With Replay) 2/2/2018
Liam Foudy Note High-level speed on display early. Brian Fogarty Barrie vs London (OHL) Video (With Replay) 2/2/2018

Liam Foudy Note His speed is disruptive Brian Fogarty Barrie vs London (OHL) Video (With Replay) 2/2/2018
Liam Foudy Summary Elite skating, with tremendous speed that he uses as the foundation for his entire game. Foudy has a good skill set, but his feet will take him to the NHL, and his hands and mental game will have to follow him there. Brian Fogarty Barrie vs London (OHL) Video (With Replay) 2/2/2018
Luke Bignell Note Not much urgency in his game at this stage, up 7-4 in the third. Still, I'd like to see more effort, especially in his own end. Brian Fogarty Barrie vs London (OHL) Video (With Replay) 2/2/2018
Mathew Hill Note Took a huge hit up high as he was trying to clear a puck. No effect. Made the pass. Brian Fogarty Barrie vs London (OHL) Video (With Replay) 2/2/2018

Mathew Hill Note Soft wrist shot from the point Brian Fogarty Barrie vs London (OHL) Video (With Replay) 2/2/2018

Mathew Hill Summary Solid defender with height (6'1) and plenty of time to fill out his frame. Positioning is solid, uses his reach well and maintains good gaps. Not much of an offensive game at this point. Brian Fogarty Barrie vs London (OHL) Video (With Replay) 2/2/2018
Nathan Dunkley Note Gets turned around by Svechnikov, and loses him to the front of the net. Brian Fogarty Barrie vs London (OHL) Video (With Replay) 2/2/2018

Ryan Suzuki Note Awareness sparkling as he sees the play in the opposite corner of the offensive zone, steps towards the crease in anticipation and then zips a one-timer into the net from ten feet out. Brian Fogarty Barrie vs London (OHL) Video (With Replay) 2/2/2018
Ryan Suzuki Note High-risk pass on the offensive zone is intercepted and turned up ice the other way. Brian Fogarty Barrie vs London (OHL) Video (With Replay) 2/2/2018

Ryan Suzuki Note Accurate shooter with quick feet and excellent hockey smarts. That’s a highly dangerous combo. Brian Fogarty Barrie vs London (OHL) Video (With Replay) 2/2/2018
Ryan Suzuki Summary Suzuki is still a year removed from his draft year, but could be a first-round pick in the 2018 draft. So smart and aware on the ice, excellent sense of play development, and then he has the skating and hand skills to take full advantage of what he sees happening around him. His ability to put himself in the places where the play will go is uncanny, and then he can finish when the play finally catches up to what he has already seen. Fun to watch, an early candidate for a top-five pick in 2019. Brian Fogarty Barrie vs London (OHL) Video (With Replay) 2/2/2018
