Player Notes
I started taking player notes years ago, and created the Hockey Prophets website as a way to always have quick access to them. You have access to them, too. There are currently nearly 1,450 players noted in the archive, with more than 9.300 notes.
The Hockey Prophets Player Notes are a continually updated archive of notes taken while closely watching individual players during game action. Players are observed for key attributes such as skating ability, play recognition, shot quality, vision, defensive positioning, and more. An important thing to understand is that despite watching roughly 200 hockey games a year, I do not take notes on all games. If a player does not have specific notes in the archive does not mean that they have not been watched multiple times. It just means that I wasn't taking individual, focused notes on the player at the time.
Below is the complete searchable archive.
Name | Note Type | Note | Writer | Game Watched | Game Date | Date Viewed | Game Number |
Adam Benak | Note | Benak has magic in his hands and feet. Everything looks so easy for him, and his mind is always multiple steps ahead of the play. He's a tremendous talent. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czechia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/9/2024 | 10/18/2024 | 10323 |

Adam Benak | Summary | Benak has it all, but at 5'7 there will be a lot of shy NHL general managers who will select lessor but bigger talent.

Dominik Pavlik | Note | Works hard at both ends. He has some skill, but at this point he lacks the dynamism to be a top six. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czechia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/9/2024 | 10/18/2024 | 10323 |
Jakob Ihs-Wozniak | Note | Good position and steal in the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czechia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/9/2024 | 10/18/2024 | 10323 |

Radim Mrtka | Note | So big, takes huge strides and covers a lot of ice with them. IF he develops more agility (he's already okay) and better puck skills (he can already handle and pass), he could be devastating. Otherwise, he's a good stay-at-home, pass-first blueliner. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czechia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/9/2024 | 10/18/2024 | 10323 |

Lars Steiner | Note | Takes a pass in the neutral zone, shifts left and turns the defender, gets passed him and is in clean for a one-on-one versus the Canadian goaltender, but Ivankovic robs him with the glove.

Justin Poirier | Note | He can be a superstar player if he fixes the holes in his game. Fast, ellusive, elite skating and shot, puck handles. He just doesn't play well with others. | Brian Fogarty | Baie-Comeau vs Charlottetown (QMJHL) | 4/3/2024 | 6/13/2024 | 10319 |

He's able to get a good shot away while actually facing towards the right-side boards. Great body and hand control. | Brian Fogarty | Baie-Comeau vs Charlottetown (QMJHL) | 4/3/2024 | 6/13/2024 | 10319 |
Raoul Boilard | Note | Making good reads in transition, getting the puck to the right attackers at the right time with the right weight. | Brian Fogarty | Baie-Comeau vs Charlottetown (QMJHL) | 4/3/2024 | 6/13/2024 | 10319 |
Raoul Boilard | Note | Edgework allows him to be deceptive with his feet and direction. | Brian Fogarty | Baie-Comeau vs Charlottetown (QMJHL) | 4/3/2024 | 6/13/2024 | 10319 |
Raoul Boilard | Note | That pass was a bit too hard, difficult handle | Brian Fogarty | Baie-Comeau vs Charlottetown (QMJHL) | 4/3/2024 | 6/13/2024 | 10319 |
Raoul Boilard | Note | Top end speed isn't great, his short-space mobility is where his skating looks better. | Brian Fogarty | Baie-Comeau vs Charlottetown (QMJHL) | 4/3/2024 | 6/13/2024 | 10319 |
Raoul Boilard | Note | Winning a majority of his faceoffs. | Brian Fogarty | Baie-Comeau vs Charlottetown (QMJHL) | 4/3/2024 | 6/13/2024 | 10319 |
Raoul Boilard | Note | He doesn't look rattled or hurried with the puck, even under pressure in his own zone. Sometimes his passes aren't perfect, but he's picking out the right choices. | Brian Fogarty | Baie-Comeau vs Charlottetown (QMJHL) | 4/3/2024 | 6/13/2024 | 10319 |
Raoul Boilard | Note | Won't make a lot of highlight-fancy plays, but he plays an honest, high-quality game. | Brian Fogarty | Baie-Comeau vs Charlottetown (QMJHL) | 4/3/2024 | 6/13/2024 | 10319 |
Anthony Romani | Note | Straightliner speed is okay, probably average or better. Skating is not a standout attribute. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sudbury (OHL) | 11/1/2023 | 6/9/2024 | 10318 |
Anthony Romani | Note | Right side, pulls the puck in to try a deceptive wrister through the defender's legs, but hits his shinpad. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sudbury (OHL) | 11/1/2023 | 6/9/2024 | 10318 |
Anthony Romani | Note | Lower agility and burst than is needed. And he's not going hard at allk to backcheck. Floats back. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sudbury (OHL) | 11/1/2023 | 6/9/2024 | 10318 |
Anthony Romani | Note | Very good read and long diagonal pass to send his left winger into the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sudbury (OHL) | 11/1/2023 | 6/9/2024 | 10318 |
Anthony Romani | Note | Right point on the powerplay, has the puck, steps toward the circleand feeds Ty Nelson for a one-timer goal. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sudbury (OHL) | 11/1/2023 | 6/9/2024 | 10318 |
Anthony Romani | Note | His defensive play is lacking, getting out of position, little defensive intensity. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sudbury (OHL) | 11/1/2023 | 6/9/2024 | 10318 |
Anthony Romani | Note | Good vision and passing though. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sudbury (OHL) | 11/1/2023 | 6/9/2024 | 10318 |
Anthony Romani | Note | He can pick out and nail the long diagonal passes. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sudbury (OHL) | 11/1/2023 | 6/9/2024 | 10318 |
Anthony Romani | Note | Again way out of position in the defensive zone allows a clean look at an open net, but the shot was just wide. He can't allow that player to be that open off his wing. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sudbury (OHL) | 11/1/2023 | 6/9/2024 | 10318 |
Anthony Romani | Note | His wrist shot release is snappy and deceptive. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sudbury (OHL) | 11/1/2023 | 6/9/2024 | 10318 |
Anthony Romani | Note | Excellent shot from the high slot, holds, waits, goes far side top shelf. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sudbury (OHL) | 11/1/2023 | 6/9/2024 | 10318 |
Ethan Procyszyn | Note | Second penalty kill unit, hustling. He's eager to get his stick down on the ice to break up passing lanes. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sudbury (OHL) | 11/1/2023 | 6/9/2024 | 10318 |
Ethan Procyszyn | Note | Skating is good, very good lateral movement and turning radius. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sudbury (OHL) | 11/1/2023 | 6/9/2024 | 10318 |
Ethan Procyszyn | Note | Not much offensive dynamism. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sudbury (OHL) | 11/1/2023 | 6/9/2024 | 10318 |
Ethan Procyszyn | Note | Gains a step and gets a beautiful pass from Nelson, in alone, backhand-forehang goal. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sudbury (OHL) | 11/1/2023 | 6/9/2024 | 10318 |
Lucas Sawchyn | Note | Hard-working forecheck shift creased issues for Muskegon. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Skating speed is above average. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Out on penalty kill duty, announcer said what I was thinking: "Haven't mentioned his name all night." | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Fights to get puck control behind the net, then passes to the right low dot where the defender easily intercepts. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Does not like to hold the puck and often his quick puck movement is not good. Again, behind the net, this time on the powerplay, gets the puck and one-touch passes to the slot, but right a defender again. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Again, tries a one-touch pass, again just throwing it away. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | When he actually holds the puck, he can be an effective passer. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Spinning wrist shot hits the post. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Unforced icing that will extend an already long shift. He had time and options. Yikes. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Michael Hage | Note | Boisvert and Hage matched up for two early faceoffs. Boisvert won both. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Michael Hage | Note | Has a potential for a quick odd-man in-zone attack, but instead of attacking the net, he throws a cross-slot pass, deflected away. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Michael Hage | Note | Carries into the offensive zone down the center lane, splitting two defenders with a backchecker right on him, battles through a wave of stick checks and goes straight to the net. He tried to pull a backhand around the goalie, toe saved, but the rebound gets banged in. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Michael Hage | Note | On that drive to the net (see previous note), Hage was being hooked and pulled back. He was able to kick the puck with his right foot to his backhand to attempt the shot. Strong balance, coordination, creativity. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Michael Hage | Note | He has fast hands and excellent ability to reconnect with loose pucks. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Michael Hage | Note | Lovely nutmeg pass to the cutter in the low slot. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Michael Hage | Note | Very good on his skates when he has the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Michael Hage | Note | Killing penalties with active feet and stick. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Michael Hage | Note | Curls up ice when he should have been stopping and covering the d-zone low slot. Back to the puck, didn't recognize the threat. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Michael Hage | Note | Poke check works to stop the breakout attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Michael Hage | Note | Interesting that Hage isn't taking defensive zone faceoffs. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Owen Tylec | Note | Nice read and pass to transition though the neutral zone. He shows pretty good speed, then off the puck hard up the center lane. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Owen Tylec | Note | All over Veilleux trying to get the puck in the offensive zone, eventually does and gives to his forward with speed to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Owen Tylec | Note | Really nice work to collect the puck in his zone, settle, and pass out to start a transition attack. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Owen Tylec | Note | Quick. Nice acceleration. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Sasha Boisvert | Note | Boisvert and Hage matched up for two early faceoffs. Boisvert won both. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Sasha Boisvert | Note | Going up ice he looks okay, but the puck reverses and he takes a wide, slow turn to head back to his own zone. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Sasha Boisvert | Note | Going hard on the back check, but not going fast. After that effort, he was still effective and active in the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Sasha Boisvert | Note | Yeah, his straightline speed is lacking. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Sasha Boisvert | Note | He's competitive. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Sasha Boisvert | Note | And there is an example of how he will be effective up the levels. Gets knocked down in the offensive zone, but manages to shift the puck to a teammate. Gets up, goes to the net, gets a loose puck. His shovel attempt his a stick, he gets the puck again, flashes it past the goalie. It will always be a battle for him, but he looks up to the challenge. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Sasha Boisvert | Note | Good hit against the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Xavier Veilleux | Note | Wrist shot from the point got through a lot of traffic, but kicked out to the corner by the netminder. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Xavier Veilleux | Note | Has a tough time turning and keeping up with Hage. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Xavier Veilleux | Note | Blatant interference as the hits the player who had passed well before the contact. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Xavier Veilleux | Note | Looks better defensively when he establishes position. Then he's strong on his skates, effective with his stick and feet and works to reduce chances. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Xavier Veilleux | Note | Goes back hard and cuts the lane to intercept. Good hustle and a smart line. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Marek Vanacker | Note | Smooth edges, nice lateral movement and turning radius. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Switzerland (2024 World U-18s) | 4/28/2024 | 6/5/2024 | 10316 |
Marek Vanacker | Note | Shoulders and next are hunched over when he skates. Not great form. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Switzerland (2024 World U-18s) | 4/28/2024 | 6/5/2024 | 10316 |
Marek Vanacker | Note | Has the puck right corner offensive zone, carries up, reverses and shakes his man, then a quick pass to an open teammate. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Switzerland (2024 World U-18s) | 4/28/2024 | 6/5/2024 | 10316 |
Marek Vanacker | Note | Active with his stick, he's fast to try to regain possession if his team loses the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Switzerland (2024 World U-18s) | 4/28/2024 | 6/5/2024 | 10316 |
Marek Vanacker | Note | Shows very good agility, but he looks uncomfortable in the offensive zone off the puck. He moves, trying to find a spot, but he's not attacking. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Switzerland (2024 World U-18s) | 4/28/2024 | 6/5/2024 | 10316 |
Marek Vanacker | Note | Playing such a passive game. I just want him to get his nose in there. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Switzerland (2024 World U-18s) | 4/28/2024 | 6/5/2024 | 10316 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Tracks back keeping pace with the US rush, goes to the corner with the puck carrier, pins him and takes the puck away. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs USNTDP (USHL) | 4/6/2024 | 6/4/2024 | 10315 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Smooth pivot and edges, able to change speeds with a step. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs USNTDP (USHL) | 4/6/2024 | 6/4/2024 | 10315 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Carrying up the right boards, gets cut off by Emery who had a good angle, but Gridin didn't look like he was going hard, either. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs USNTDP (USHL) | 4/6/2024 | 6/4/2024 | 10315 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Puck doesn't stay on his stick for long, and sometimes he just throws it away to an area seemingly hoping a teammate might be there. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs USNTDP (USHL) | 4/6/2024 | 6/4/2024 | 10315 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Looks like he plays at maybe three-quarter speed on offense, and half-speed at best on defense. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs USNTDP (USHL) | 4/6/2024 | 6/4/2024 | 10315 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Nice pass to split the pressure and give his center a look at goal. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs USNTDP (USHL) | 4/6/2024 | 6/4/2024 | 10315 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Glides through the offensive zone and into the slot, then shoots one-time, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs USNTDP (USHL) | 4/6/2024 | 6/4/2024 | 10315 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Not involved on defensive zone play at all. Super slow to get back. Zero urgency. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs USNTDP (USHL) | 4/6/2024 | 6/4/2024 | 10315 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | In the defensive zone, standing near the right circle, puck chips into the right corner and he doesn't go after it, but instead just wathes as Eiserman collects, curls towards him. Gridin inexplicably backs away from Eiserman and gives him a clear lane to the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs USNTDP (USHL) | 4/6/2024 | 6/4/2024 | 10315 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Good passer when he has a target in mind | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs USNTDP (USHL) | 4/6/2024 | 6/4/2024 | 10315 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Looks like he has no interest in playing defense | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs USNTDP (USHL) | 4/6/2024 | 6/4/2024 | 10315 |
Matvei Gridin | Summary | He has size and puck skills that could get him to the NHL, but his mindnumbing lack of effort and sometimes negative effort in the defensive zone, coupled with his no-vision puck movement leaves me wondering if he'll be a viable prospect. He has a lot of work to do to correct mental and effort issues. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs USNTDP (USHL) | 4/6/2024 | 6/4/2024 | 10315 |
Andrew Basha | Note | Lots of jump, engaging in puck battles, mostly by digging with his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Note | Gets a clean breakaway because he is too fast for the defender to stay with. Goes backhand, forehand, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Note | A little stiff and upright when not in motion, his lateral movement is stilted because of it. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Note | A couple of times he has held the puck too long, wanting to skate into areas instead of passing and then moving off the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Note | He's a much better skater when he's on the move. He looks so much more comfortable at speed then at a standstill, when his edgework in tight spaces is suspect. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Note | Gets the puck in the neutral zone, drives and dangles but can't get a clean shot away. Carries behind the net, out the left side, around the top, then throws the puck at the net. Not once did he look for passing options. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Note | Good chip and chase player because he's super fast and he wants the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Note | Penalty kill duty. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Note | Again, holds longer than he should, skating into trouble and then pitchforking the puck to no one. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Note | A burst of speed gets him first to the puck, then into the offensive zone, shot, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Note | Too often he is the first player out of his offensive zone and the last one to get back. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Note | Had a good chance to throw a shoulder into the puck carrier coming up the wall, but instead he just tried to stick check him and then watched as he just skated right on by. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Note | Another instance of him holding the puck too long, skating from low right circle, up across the top into the slot. But this time he rifles a shot back against his flow and over the goalie's shoulder to tie the game with 35 seconds remaining. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Summary | His shot is good, no doubt, but he was a major puck hog all game long. He passed when he had to, but often it was after he had skated himself out of room and had nowhere to go. Hungry for the puck in the offensive zone, and elite speed, but the rest of his game was infuriating to watch. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Adam Hesselvall | Note | Gets the puck off the neutral zone faceoff, fights to get into the offensive zone, stick battling all the way, and gets a shot off on goal. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Adam Hesselvall | Note | His edgework is very good, and he uses it to make positional corrections. Easy acceleration even if his top speed is only a bit above average at best. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Adam Hesselvall | Note | Ugly pass back while in the neutral zone that became a perfect breakaway opportunity the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Adam Hesselvall | Note | Gets way out of position trying to block a shot and allows Ritchie uncontended crease access for an easy goal. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Adam Hesselvall | Note | Going hard up the ice to try to chase down a puck, but Iginla is able to easily gain the extra step. Behind the net, Hesselvall is able to steal the puck, but he throws a pass right down the middle back towards his own end and perfectly launches a clean breakaway for Canada. Oh, boy. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Adam Hesselvall | Note | Gets the headman pass but doesn't have the wheels to split the defenders. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Adam Hesselvall | Summary | Had moments where he looked effective, but too many moments where mental errors hurt his team. He could be a serviceable mid-line forward if he can clean up the mistakes, but I was not a fan of his hockey iq. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Charlie Elick | Note | Good play to step around the puck carrier on the boards and seal off his path, got his body right into the hands. Well done. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Charlie Elick | Note | Again, really nice positioning to takeaway a reception opportunity for the Swedish forward. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Charlie Elick | Note | Holds behind his net for a line change, then starts a breakout with a long, in-stride pass up the right boards. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Charlie Elick | Note | Holds for the forecheck contact, passes up the corner to Iginla. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Charlie Elick | Note | Pinches in on the right boards, uses his shoulder and body positioning to force the puck to the blue line, then when the puck comes back he works hard to keep the puck in deep with some good stickwork. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Charlie Elick | Note | Super attentive to the play, keeps getting himself into great position on the ice to maximize affect. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Charlie Elick | Note | Blasts the Swedish forward below the goal line. That was a glass-rattling hit. Created a turnover, then he was fast up ice to join the rush. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Charlie Elick | Note | Saw the hit coming but made the right play and took the hit. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Charlie Elick | Summary | Big, solid defender who made good plays all game. Excellent positional defense and some offensive abilities. Likely tops out as a middle-pair, reliable blueliner in the NHL. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Gabriel Eliasson | Note | Tall player, moves pretty well on his edges though. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Gabriel Eliasson | Note | Is not shy about physical contact at all. Big kid who uses his size. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Gabriel Eliasson | Note | Top penalty killing unit for Sweden. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Gabriel Eliasson | Note | Crosschecks Wetsch to the ice after the whistle. Later on the same shift, he throws a late hit after the whistle that would have marked the start of a Sweden powerplay. That's a big mental error while down 3-0. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Harrison Brunicke | Note | Calls to his D partner to pass up the boards, but the puck gets passed into his feet instead. Brunicke wasn't expecting that, and had a hard time with the puck, which was then stolen by a Swedish forward, but Brunicke steps up and levels him with a solid shoulder check. Good body leverage there with only one step to generate it. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Harrison Brunicke | Note | Excellent hockey stop and reversal. Strong on his edges. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |

Harrison Brunicke | Note | Has the speed to get back to retrieve pucks, but shows good sense on when to allow a teammate to get there and instead take up a better defensive position. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Harrison Brunicke | Note | Out to kill the five-minute major. Blocks the Fernstrom slapper. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Harrison Brunicke | Note | A minute and half on that penalty kill shift, blocked shot at the end of the shift. He's a warrior. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Harrison Brunicke | Note | Long seam pass catches Brunicke a step off, but he hustles back to cut off the attacker options. George made the save, but Brunicke made his job much easier. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |

Harrison Brunicke | Summary | Brunicke is a minute chewing, tough-as-nails defender who can help his team win games. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Jett Luchanko | Note | I'm not watching Luchanko, but he continues to impress me. Just won a key defensive-zone faceoff. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Karl Sterner | Note | Bumps the player into the boards. Takes his out of the play but that could have been an interference call. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Karl Sterner | Note | Takes a big hit from Aicheson, and he's slow to get up. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Karl Sterner | Note | Just sort of loping around the ice. Lagging the play at both ends. Is he still a bit off after that hit? | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Karl Sterner | Note | Has good size but his feet look heavy. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Karl Sterner | Note | Looked a bit more lively there. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Karl Sterner | Note | Second unit powerplay, but still looks unenthused on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Karl Sterner | Note | In the slot, working at the front of Canada's goal where he doesn't have to skate much, he looks more effective. Stick ready, highly alert. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Linus Eriksson | Note | Working a lot on that shift but not accomplishing much. Mostly just chasing the puck in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Linus Eriksson | Note | Above average speed. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Linus Eriksson | Note | Good read and puck recovery in the offensive zone, head up, finds an open player across the ice with a perfect pass for the one-timer goal. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Linus Eriksson | Note | First out for the five-minute powerplay. Carries in left side, rim around to no-one at the right point. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Linus Eriksson | Note | Tries to outskate Iginla, but no joy for Eriksson. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Marek Vanacker | Note | Got a quick shift in. Looked good skating, but he's had almost no ice time in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Marek Vanacker | Note | Gets another shift, this one after having served Marelli's five-minute penalty. Good edgework, hustled. That's a tough job to sit for most of the game as the 13th forward and then have to go full out for a shift, with energy and intensity. Did okay, though. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Melvin Fernstrom | Note | Good takeaway, but then he shovels a pass into his teammate's skates and gives the puck back to Canada. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Melvin Fernstrom | Note | Skating looks good, hips are a bit slow to get around but his edges are good. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Melvin Fernstrom | Note | Straightline speed looks pretty good, simple stride to match the attacker's speed. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Melvin Fernstrom | Note | Out on the ice after the Swedish time out. Good head-up pass to the slot but the puck hops past the one-timer attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Melvin Fernstrom | Note | One-timer low kicked out to the corner. Then another one wide. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |

Melvin Fernstrom | Note | Showing that nice one-timer, but saved. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Melvin Fernstrom | Note | Moving the puck well on the powerplay, shooting when he can, but passing to better options when they are there. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Melvin Fernstrom | Note | Beautiful pass to Sahlin Wallenius attacking the slot. Missed the goal by a sliver of crossbar. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Melvin Fernstrom | Note | He's buzzing on the boards, creating some possession time. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Melvin Fernstrom | Note | He will rip a one-timer from anywhere. That one was blocked, but Brunicke felt it for sure. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Melvin Fernstrom | Note | Another sweet feed to the slot, and another sweet save by Carter George. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |

Ollie Josephson | Note | Drives the right side, keeping the puck outside of the defender, makes the turn below the goal line then one-hands a pass to the right dot. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Ollie Josephson | Note | Out killing the penalty, movements were quick and efficient. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |

Spencer Gill | Note | Gets caught trying to cut off the Swedish player behind the net, and leaves a Swedish forward alone short side. Goal against. Gill wasn't helped by the D partner who chased to puck behind the net, but Gill needed to be more aware on that one. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Calem Mangone | Note | Nifty backhand pass releases the breakout. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |

Calem Mangone | Note | He's small but fiesty and physical, and he plays in the homeplate area. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Calem Mangone | Note | His balance is excellent, very strong on his skates. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Calem Mangone | Note | The epitome of his game: takes a shot left side, hits the post, there's a puck scramble that kicks the puck out right side and he's there to put it back on net. Then the puck goes the other way and he's the first one back to defend. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Calem Mangone | Note | He can really unleash a wrist shot. This time he hits the post again. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Calem Mangone | Summary | He plays an honest game and lives between the dots down low. He'll front up at the crease, battles hard everywhere, shows great agility and balance, and is all around a very good hockey player. I'll be shocked if he doesn't get drafted this year (his draft +1 season). | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Lincoln Moore | Note | Straightline looks above average, but agility seems just okay. A little methodical. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Lincoln Moore | Note | Pivots are a bit slow and awkward. Speed up ice is okay. 0 - 0.5 | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Lynden Lakovic | Note | Puckhandles through the neutral zone, then slides a pass left to the forward with speed. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Lynden Lakovic | Note | Big kid, tall, solid frame. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Lynden Lakovic | Note | I'm not keen on the way he's just floating around his own zone. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Lynden Lakovic | Note | Above average speed with those long strides. 0.5 - 1.0 | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Lynden Lakovic | Note | Edges are good, although he's not an exciting skater at all. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Lynden Lakovic | Note | Way out of position for that goal against. What was he doing? | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Lynden Lakovic | Summary | Big bodied forward that plays an decent game, but too many times he was absent or lost in the offensive zone, and not effective enough in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Michael Misa | Note | Uses his skating ability to back the defender off, all while his eyes are up, using the extra time to find good options. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Michael Misa | Note | Tries to split and dangle through four (4!) Moose Jaw defenders. That did not work. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Michael Misa | Note | Posts up on the left side of the crease, and had an open net, but the Dionicio pass was on his back foot, and by the time he kicked the puck to his stick, the goalie was over and covers. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Michael Misa | Note | Exellent pass to the far side crease. He was looking point until the last second. Should have been a goal. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Michael Misa | Note | Speed is there when he needs it. Not elite level but excellent, no doubt. 2.0 | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Michael Misa | Note | Hustles back to be the first to a loose puck | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |

Owen Berge | Note | Lateral movement looks average. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Pavel McKenzie | Note | Speed looks okay, nothing special. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Pavel McKenzie | Note | Good shoulder rub out forces the puck carrier to send the puck deep without coverage. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Pavel McKenzie | Note | Not the best acceleration, there. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Pavel McKenzie | Note | Unnecessary icing, because he missed his pass by ten feet. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | Gaps up on Yager just as he enters the offensive zone grabbing a head-man pass, and Parekh takes the puck away from him and immediately starts a counter attack. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | Skating is superb, speed and edges. Effortless and fluid on his skates. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | Pivots are clean and his switch forward to back loses no speed at all. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | Closes down Rysavy with relative ease. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | Curls back under pressure from Firkus, who then steals the puck but Parekh harasses him back into the corner and his check gets the puck back for Saginaw. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | Hustles into the neutral zone, draws a defender and passes forward for a zone entry. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | Gets the puck at the left point, steps in then a step to his right to get space and angle, then a hard shot on net. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | Drops into the left circle and one-times a pass, but his shot wasn't clean. However, he grabs the puck, battles and keeps the play alive. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |

Zayne Parekh | Note | His all-way mobility makes him an excellent man-to-man defender. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | Flying around the offensive zone creating time and space, wrist shot on the move, tipped in. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |

Zayne Parekh | Note | Parekh and Firkus are going head to head a lot, and so far I'd call it a draw. Fascinating to watch, though. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | One-timer from the high slot area catches the goalie drifting. Parekh recognized the opportunity and pushed back for a shooting lane, opens hips and ready for the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | Takes the puck right side, drives below the goal line then out short side and pulls to puck around to make a ridiculous cross crease pass. Is there anything he won't do? | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | Gets pasted into the boards by Savoie. That hurt, and Parekh goes off. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Summary | He plays with supreme confidance, does not look afraid of anything. He looks like a player who has always been the best player on the ice, which might make for a tough adjustment early in his pro career, but his talent will allow him to be that at the NHL level, too. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | Acceleration looks solid, fast-twitch burst to the puck. Straightline stride mechanics are great. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | On the rush, diagonal attack across the offensive zone toward the puck, and when it comes to him he one-touches it on net. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | Tries to flick a pass on the rush but it was well behind the left winger. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | Puck comes on the rush but his first touch is too hard and the puck skips forward to the defender. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | He's first to all the loose pucks, mostly because he seems to want the puck more than anyone else on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | Powerplay in the bumper spot, nice downward deflection attempt but it goes wide. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | Opens his hips passes to the middle and then accelerates into a give and go. Draws two defenders and passes back to the pivot man who nearly scores short side. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | Trying to go up ice up outskates the pass and leaves the puck behind him for the opponents to pick up off the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | Loses his stick, but attacks the puck anyway and tries a back-heel kick pass that should have worked. Super creative, that. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | Highly competitive, but goes down easily under contact. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | Shot misses wide by a good foot. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | Nice one-touch pass finds the best neutral zone option | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | He might cheat up ice, but he doesn't cheat on effort. Big-motor player. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | Not afraid to drop down or dive to block a shot. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Summary | Hard working, always on the go, but his mind sometimes seems to race in front of his body. He showed his creativity and offensive instincts, but also too often tried to one-touch pucks that would have been better to collect. If he can get a better command of his game, his work ethic, speed and flair could take him to the NHL (if he wants it). | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | Lots of shoulder swing in his power stride | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | Awkward to on defense against a Lindstrom rush, but he gets away with it and sweeps the puck to the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | Nice long diagonal pass to the far blue line | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | He can really move in transition, and will get better, too. He's a powerful skater. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | A couple of times on this powerplay sequence he has tried to force a pass through a defender's skates and neither time has it worked. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | Right-handed shot playing the left point in the powerplay, but he's moving around the top a lot. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | Again passes right at the opponent's feet. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | Gets drawn into an after-the-whistle cross checking penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | A turnover in the neutral zone and the puck finds his stick. He leads a two-on-one rush from the left side, holds on his way in looking pass, then shoots--saved--but he follows his shot and buries the rebound. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | Another after-the-whistle cross check penalty as he drives a prone Lindstrom down into the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | Great job to get his stick down and into the passing lane on the penalty kill. Probably saved a goal there. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | I'm not a fan of his defensive positioning. He's getting out too high, too often. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | Risky with his feet and with his passing | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Summary | He is a risk-and-reward defender, no question. He sees so much, but his passing at times couldn't translate the play he saw into the play on the ice. Very good skater, good size, lots of physicality, but he made some bad choices and needs work on his overall game awareness, I think. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Note | Nice pin to rivet Yakemchuk to the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Note | Takes the puck off the boards, dangles to the high slot and fires a shot against the grain, but a fine glove save robs him. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Tomas Mrsic | Note | Average speed, finding it difficult to create space with his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Tomas Mrsic | Note | Fairly harmless wrist shot from the blue line that the goalie swallowed up. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Tomas Mrsic | Note | Second-unit penalty killer. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Anton Silayev | Note | Moving well laterally and backwards. Skating stride is simple, effortless. Pivots are seamless. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Anton Silayev | Note | Starts up ice, but the puck kicks back and his change from forward acceleration to backwards retreat was fast and all in his edges. That was a lovely piece of skating. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Anton Silayev | Note | Looks so well-coordinated for such a young player with that kind of height. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Anton Silayev | Note | Getting pulled out of position a bit in his own end, but he's not getting a lot of help, either. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Anton Silayev | Note | Positions his hips and shoulders well in advance of receiving the puck. This allows him to already be in motion when he gets possession. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Anton Silayev | Note | Trying to skate the puck through the neutral zone. He doesn't look as comfortable carrying as he does passing. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Anton Silayev | Note | Good step up and poke check to disrupt an attack. He relies on the poke a lot in lieu of a hit, but this time it worked well. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Anton Silayev | Note | Well-weighted pass gives the attacking forward the chance to maintain speed and enter the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Anton Silayev | Note | There's some physical contact. Finally. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Anton Silayev | Note | Chases his man behind the net and gets burned for it. Tough choice, but he was on the wrong side of the puck and paid for it. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Anton Silayev | Note | Offensive zone possession, he does a good job keeping the puck in the zone at the right point, then throwing the puck into the slot area scrums. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Anton Silayev | Note | He really seems to prefer the step-up poke check to thwart oncoming attacks. He's good at it, but that's a move he will have to dial back. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Anton Silayev | Summary | Big, smooth defender that shows more stay-at-home, first pass skills than a pure transitional or offensive blueliner. He has some work to do to improve on his defensive awareness and holding position, but any chance an NHL team has at a 6'7 blueliner with easy skating and nice hands, they'll jump on. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Brodie Ziemer | Note | Kind of a high kick motion up ice, but he's still pretty fast, then nice edges at the slot | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Brodie Ziemer | Note | Playing right wing on the top line with Hagens and Stiga | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Brodie Ziemer | Note | Drifts back into open space on the left side of the offensive zone with Hagen and Stiga fighting for possession in the right corner, and the puck finds him. Nice shot low that the goalie kicked out, but problematic. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Brodie Ziemer | Note | Steals at the blue line, hustles in on net, looking, holding for options to open, then a low far-side wrist shot off the pads, looking for a pad-boune pass. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Brodie Ziemer | Note | Nice backhand pass to the pinching defenseman cutting into the slot, but it didn't connect. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Brodie Ziemer | Note | Hits the offensive zone right side with speed, then uses a nice, subtle drop pass to create space. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Brodie Ziemer | Note | Steals in the neutral zone, goes hard to the net and shows shot, then no-looks to Hagens for the easy open-net goal. Great play. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Brodie Ziemer | Note | Out to kill a five-on-three. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Brodie Ziemer | Note | Gets a feed from Hagens and he's in on goal. Beats the netminder glove side with a well-targeted, fast release. Pretty shot. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Brodie Ziemer | Summary | He showed effectiveness at both ends of the ice, and was not relying on Hagens to create the plays (although he was willing and able to take advantage when Hagens did). Ziemer isn't flashy, but he makes plays, showed a good shot, and hustled all over. He's going to make a nice, solid professional, I think. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Cole Hutson | Note | Puck in the right corner, he slips down into the slot area, gets a pass and tries to snap it on net | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Cole Hutson | Note | Shifty with the puck on his stick, helped a lot by top-flight agility and smooth puck handling at motion. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Cole Hutson | Note | Under pressure, overhandles, loses the puck. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Cole Hutson | Note | Fight the puck, passes the puck back to a trailer who was well-covered and it’s a breakaway the other direction. Not the best recognition by Hutson. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Cole Hutson | Note | Excellent skating gets him back to cover a potential breakaway, but a smart play by the Swiss attacker draws Hutson into an interference penalty. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Cole Hutson | Note | Goes back to retrieve, and then just kind of floats for a second and allows a Swiss forechecker to swoop in and take the puck. What was he doing? | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Cole Hutson | Note | He's good the puck moving forward, but again a kind of half-hearted attempt with the puck and a turnover. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Cole Hutson | Summary | He looks like he plays with an arrogance that seems to both help him on the rush and in the offensive zone, but also hurt him at times in the defensive zone. It's almost like he expects to be able to outskate any trouble at any time, and so he isn't working hard from the start. He's talented, no question, but there is some polishing that is needed. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Daniil Ustinkov | Note | Top penalty kill unit. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Daniil Ustinkov | Note | On the powerplay, transitions out of the zone, carries all the way into the offensive zone. Nice clean zone entry with possession. So calm with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Daniil Ustinkov | Note | Circling his own net to buy time and kill the penalty, then he fires the puck deep up ice. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Daniil Ustinkov | Note | Puck behind his net, sees the forechecker coming hard, and he absorbs the hit to make a clean, smart pass. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Daniil Ustinkov | Note | Out on a four-on-four, full possession in the offensive zone, and he's able to do whatever he wants with the puck. Great puck control, poise, command of the zone. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Daniil Ustinkov | Note | He's smooth, and changes speeds effectively when carrying the puck. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Daniil Ustinkov | Note | Nice little backhand flip pass. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Daniil Ustinkov | Summary | He looks best when he has the puck, because he is unruffled and able to keep and use possession no matter what the opposition tries. He will need some hard work in his own end, but if he develops properly, he could become a reliable breakout defensemen with powerplay potential in the professional levels. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
James Hagens | Note | (Not watching) Just took a puck behind the net, faked what looked like the start of a Michigan attempt, the stopped hard and pulled the puck back to try to hit a short-side attempt. It didn't go in, but that was clever, fast and audacious. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
James Hagens | Note | Hagens sees plays that aren't there until he puts the puck into a place on the ice that brings the play into existance. Incredible iq and vision. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Kamil Bednarik | Note | His lateral movement is excellent. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Kamil Bednarik | Note | Defensive zone, penalty kill faceoff. Wins it. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Kamil Bednarik | Note | Top of the penalty kill box, good active stick and he pokes the puck loose and nearly out of the zone. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Kamil Bednarik | Note | Good forechecking effort. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Kamil Bednarik | Note | So smooth on his edges, gives him a lot of easy mobility. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Kamil Bednarik | Note | At the crease, trying to work for a deflection. I like his willingness to battle and his stick positioning. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Kamil Bednarik | Summary | He did not show a lot of offensive flair, but he did a lot of things well and showed a competitive nature that will serve him well. He is a quality home-plate player who will muck around in the tight areas of the game, and he has the edgework and balance to be effective in heavy traffic. I liked him. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Max Plante | Note | Switches into the bumper spot on the powerplay, moves so well. Fluid skater. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Max Plante | Note | Second-unit penalty killer for the US team, using his quickness to close on loose pucks. Clears the zone. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Max Plante | Note | Ill-considered backhand at the offensive-zone blue line was a problem, but didn’t bite him too hard as the US squad regained possession. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Max Plante | Note | Missed a defensive read there, but recovered well with footspeed. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Max Plante | Note | Great skating, agile through the neutral zone, creates an entry lane. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Max Plante | Note | Has very good speed, but he's not an explosive skater. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Max Plante | Summary | Seemed a lot like his job was to try to set up Eiserman for a shot. I need to see him more in different aspects of play, and further in his development. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Alfons Freij | Note | Fluid backwards, stands his man up at the blue line and prevents the zone entry. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Alfons Freij | Note | In on a short rush, hard snap shot, just wide | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Alfons Freij | Note | Big, strong skating strides, nice edgework. Looks like easy skating for him. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Alfons Freij | Note | Leading the rush on the powerplay, not shy about driving the puck in deep, but he gets back to a responsible position after. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Alfons Freij | Note | Good point play on the give and go. He no-looked the return pass and set up a pretty goal with his pass. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Alfons Freij | Summary | Has a good, solid frame at 6'1 and 196 pounds, and he moves well in all four directions. A true two-way blueliner with good NHL potential | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Cole Beaudin | Note | Tall, but doesn't look awkward on his feet. Too upright at times, but good crossovers and edges. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Cole Beaudin | Note | Chases down a puck and turns it into a partial breakaway attempt. Had only a step to make something happen, and goalie makes a good stop, but Beaudin showed speed and willingness there. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Cole Beaudin | Note | Throws his head and shoulders up and back when he tries to accelerate. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Gabriel Eliasson | Note | Forecheck effort creates a turnover leading to Sweden's first goal. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Gavin McKenna | Note | Flying through the neutral zone, passes ahead and keeps moving at top speed. Gets the puck back at the blue line, flashes through the defense, backhand, forehand across the goal mouth, scores. Beautiful stuff. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Gavin McKenna | Note | His turn around the net there on the forecheck was as tight as it could be. That's impressive turning. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Gavin McKenna | Note | He'll throw his body around a bit. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Gavin McKenna | Note | Waits as the Swedish forward tries to bring the puck out of the corner, then he just takes the puck away from him, turns, blazes up ice. He then stickhandled past two Swedes and made a clean zone entry look easy. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |

Leo Sahlin Wallenius | Note | Loses the puck behind his own net as Iginla gets his stick in there. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |

Leo Sahlin Wallenius | Note | Cuts hard to the slot, shoots and draws a penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Leo Sahlin Wallenius | Note | Point quarterback on the powerplay, he wants the puck a lot and lets his teammates know it. He's a shooter. Moves it well, but his first thought seems to be scoring. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Liam Greentree | Note | Player in his face, but he absorbs the contact in order to get the puck to a better transition option. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Liam Greentree | Note | Right dot, holds then passes to the left point. He then gets his hips shifted and one-times the return pass short side for the opening goal. Good body awareness and positional prep. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Liam Greentree | Note | Second unit powerplay, carries in, moves the puck and then sets up left circle. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |

Lucas Pettersson | Note | Offensive zone set up, puck at the left point, he's backwards walking the blue line stick high and cocked for a one-timer. He was watching the carrier waiting for the chance instead of seeing what was actually available as a play. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Lucas Pettersson | Note | The one-timer did not materialize, so he goes in deeper and becomes more effective. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Lucas Pettersson | Note | Speedy player who needs to work on his balance some | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Porter Martone | Note | Three-on-two rush, carries in left side, then pulls the puck back between his legs to try the fancy pass. Too clever by half, and the attack fizzles out. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Spencer Gill | Note | Gets the puck from Greentree, walks in to draw the defender, and when the lane opens he feeds Greentree again for the one-timer. Lovely pass and play for the goal. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |

Tij Iginla | Note | Goes fast to the back door and was wide open, but the far-side puck carrier shot instead of passing. That would have been an easy tap-in goal, but no puck joy for Iginla there. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Tij Iginla | Note | Inginla with a hard check | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Tij Iginla | Note | At the top of the crease, Freij wrapping him up, but he manages to muscle through enough to poke the puck to Marrelli who one-touches a pass to Ritchie, goal.Great play by Iginla to make all of that happen. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |

Adam Nemec | Note | Not working hard enough on the backcheck. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Adam Nemec | Note | Puck enters the offensive zone on a rush, and he goes hard to the net, stick down. Winger puts the puck low into the goalie's pads for a rebound pass, and Nemec is there to convert. Nice goal. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Austin Baker | Note | Looking lost in his own end, unsure of where to go, so he's moving out of position a lot. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Austin Baker | Note | Penalty killer, sees his forward linemate go in deep on the forecheck, and he backs out to the blueline strong side wall to cover. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |

Cole Eiserman | Note | There's what he does best. Hagen's feed is perfect, and Eiserman one-times it short side. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | He can't solve problems with his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | The team that drafts him wants his shot and thinks they can coach all the bad out of him. His shot is elite and his scoring drive and instincts are top flight, but so many other problems. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | He'll hit you if you're trying to move the puck up the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | Apparently he'll hit you in open ice, too. He just levelled Straka with a clean shoulder check. Straka was looking at the puck and Eiserman drove his shoulder straight into Straka's chest. The Slovakian was down for a while. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | Straightline speed is better than his short-space acceleration or agility. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | Everything is geared toward setting up his one-timer. But it’s a great one. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Cole Eiserman | Summary | Eiserman showed good physical play, and although his skating and playing style is monochromatic, his shot and shooter's mentality is a desired resource. He will be a project to get his game up to NHL levels, but there is no question that his scoring ability is already there | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
James Hagens | Note | He holds the puck loaded for as long s possible while closing in on net, always looking fo rthe best option. He can rip it if the goalie cheats even a little, or pass it if he doesn't. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
LJ Mooney | Note | Super fast. Probably the fastest on the US team, maybe in the tournament. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Luka Radivojevic | Note | Radivojevic is incredibly smooth, poised, looks confident at both ends. One to watch (though I'm not focusing on him in this game). | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Miroslav Satan | Note | Tall player getting ice time on the second powerplay squad. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Miroslav Satan | Note | He's got a ways to go to get more comfortable on his skates. Looks coltish on that crazy tall frame. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Nicolas Vrtiel | Note | Trails the rush, goes to the slot, and waits for the play below the net to come back to him. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Teddy Stiga | Note | Such a nose for the net. Sees the play developing off the offensive zone faceoff, cuts hard to the slot as the point shot is released, rebound comes right to him and he puts it in the net. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Teddy Stiga | Note | Shows good speed on better, smooth change of direction, edgework is quality. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Teddy Stiga | Note | Very good skating and edges. He's an odd player to watch because he's often quiet, but his anticipation allows him to jump into plays and become instantly effective. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Tomas Pobezal | Note | Easy skating, on this opening shift was matched up against Hagens, and matching him well on his skates. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Tomas Pobezal | Note | Creating some trouble in the offensive zone, then a good hit on the boards to try to stop a breakout by the US. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Tomas Pobezal | Note | Left side on the top powerplay unit. He's getting shots away but the US penalty killers are blocking everything. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Tomas Pobezal | Note | A bit of Pobezal v Hagens action agin as the two are matched up. Great battles between this two. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Tomas Pobezal | Note | Excellent penaly kill play to step around Eiserman to get between him and the puck, then angles a hip check that drops Eiserman and he clears. Great play. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Tomas Pobezal | Summary | There was a lot to like from his play in this game. He had the foot speed and agility to succeed at both ends of the ice, and showed a high hockey iq. He made the right choices and was a key to driving play for the Slovakian squad. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Trevor Connelly | Note | Skating is pretty good, not top echelon. He's tenacious though. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Trevor Connelly | Note | He's always on the move in the offensive zone. High work rate, but he's efficient, moving to good areas anticipating the play. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Trevor Connelly | Note | Almost has a breakaway, defenseman pokes the puck away, and Connelly cuts back, fights to recover the puck, and keeps the play in the zone. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Trevor Connelly | Note | Good recognition to realize that the puck bounced back into the offensive zone off of a Slovakian player, and he goes straight to the attack instead of resetting. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Trevor Connelly | Note | Not afraid to take the puck into the home plate area and create danger. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Aatos Koivu | Note | Guarding the crease, takes a loose puck, wheels out of danger and clears. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Aatos Koivu | Note | Very good or better straightline speed. 1.5 to 2.0 | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Austin Baker | Note | Excellent speed to go after the cleared puck, he easily gained a couple of steps on Saarelainen | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Christian Humphreys | Note | Slippery with the puck on the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Christian Humphreys | Note | Good, creative puck mover, using his feet and crisp choices to be very ellusive. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Christian Humphreys | Note | He is a high-vision passer who finds dangerous options when he has the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |

Christian Humphreys | Summary | Humphreys is a playmaker who can find open players with the best of them.

Cole Eiserman | Note | Heavy shoulder into the puckcarrier on the defensive zone boards. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | Carries on a long arc into the offensive zone, pulls up, fires a hard pass to the slot but well behind the cutter. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | Feet look heavy trying to chase down an opposing rush. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | Quality one-timer hits the post. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | Another pass that was a great choice poorly executed. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | Skates to a spot, then hip pivots towards the puck. He made a good play with it when it came, but there's a lack of fluidity to his skating and a bullish linear tendancy to his thinking. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | Upright, lots of shoulder swing. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Cole Eiserman | Summary | He is a volume shooting goal scorer, and he excels at that, but the rest of his game looked so plodding on most shifts. Mechanical, clunky at times, missed on his passes and didn't have any shine to his game. But he can score. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Heikki Ruohonen | Note | Good speed, nice stride mechanics powers him through the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Heikki Ruohonen | Note | He's a beavertailer. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Heikki Ruohonen | Note | If a Finn player is slapping the ice, you know it’s going to be Ruohonen. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Heikki Ruohonen | Note | The beavertailing in making me crazy. Every time a teammate has the puck he's clapping the ice. And that time when he got the puck, he booted it. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Heikki Ruohonen | Note | Has some physicallity to his game, which seems fitting. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | Sneaky no-look pass that created a chance. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | Gets really low on the faceoffs. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | Active on defense, taking up good spots in the slot, constantly scanning. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | Playing on the second penaly kill unit, and I can see why he's trusted there. Picks up on puck changes quickly, stays in the shooting and passing lanes, then helps generate a short-handed rush with speed and effort. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | Excellent use of his edges to change from forward to backward movement. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | Beauty of a deke to get around the defender. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | Keeps getting the puck to Stiga, who keeps putting it in the net. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | His change of direction is sharp and immediate. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | Hagens is the player who always knows what he wants to accomplish with the puck before he gets it. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | Gasp. Intercepts just inside his own blue liner, dekes the defender just after entering the offensive zone, looks shot and gets the other defender to his knees to block, then spins and throws a backhand pass to Stiga at the doorstep. Would have been an easy tap in goal, but it hit a stick and went in anyway. Hagens get the goal credit. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | He has a good, hard wrist shot, too. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | And there he pots one from the slot with a good one-touch wrister. He caught that loaded and immediate released short side. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | Opening faceoff of the third period, he chats with Hutson before the drop. When he wins it back to Hutson, he curls wide and flies up the ice. Hutson lifts the puck deep, and Hagens is behind everyone, first to the puck off the back boards, and one-times the carrom short side for his hat trick. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Summary | Easily the best player in the game. He was everywhere, and always engaged in the play at both ends. He will be a star NHL player. His mind is the key, as he anticipates the play so well, and then his feet and hands are skilled and talented to keep up. Great, great player. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Joona Saarelainen | Note | Lagging the play as the US transitions into their offensive zone, goes to the slot, then does a good job to kick a loose puck to his stick and launch a breakout. Didn't like the lead up, but the end was okay. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Joona Saarelainen | Note | Upright, not driving through his strides. Choppy. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Joona Saarelainen | Note | Top powerplay unit, planted at the top of the crease | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Joona Saarelainen | Note | Great hands and patience to take the pass, take an extra step to drag across the crease and slide the puck into the open net. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Shane Vansaghi | Note | Solid frame, thick legs. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Shane Vansaghi | Note | Average skater or a touch below. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Shane Vansaghi | Note | Crunching hit. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Teddy Stiga | Note | Hard snap shot low far side gets under the left pad to open the scoring. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Adam Jecho | Note | Moves good, but looks a bit awkward | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Adam Jecho | Note | Another huge player in this game. Not nearly as good a skater as Lindstrom, and maybe not as good as McQueen. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Adam Jecho | Note | Wearing an A for the Czechs | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Adam Jecho | Note | Scrum at the front of the net, he allows Catton to go in uncontested and poke in a loose puck | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Adam Jecho | Note | Lacking agility and his backward skating is somewhat average. Hands are quicker than his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Note | First step is a bit too upright, but after that, he generates speed quickly | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Note | Wrist shot snaps his stick. A lot of flex before it broke. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Note | He's faster than most of the players around him, often having to cut around players on the rush or backcheck because they are too slow in front of him. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Note | Hustles up the ice, passes the defender, beats out an icing. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Note | It's so humid and warm that the glass and camera lenses are fogging, so the ice looks incredibly soft. Lindstrom just overskated a puck. Interested to see how a fast player will adjust as the game wears on. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Note | Uses his height and strength to his advantage, leaning, shoving, hitting. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Note | What an excellent sequence that started with him calling out directions in his own end, taking a pass at the red line left side, zone entry pass to the high slot cutter. The defender poked the puck away but right back to Lindstrom and he one-touched a pass to the right dot that gave Martone an unobstructed line to the net. Beautiful play. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Note | Hard hit in the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Note | Active in the defensive zone, patrolling the slot, puck goes out to the neutral zone and he's hard up ice.Gets a nice saucer pass from Martone, holds the puck at length backhand, gains a full step plus on the defender trying to keep up, then pulls the puck back to forehand as he jams on the brakes and lifts the puck over the goalie's right shoulder. Gorgeous goal. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Note | I like the physical elements of his game | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Note | Up one goal, midway through the third, and he's out on the penalty kill and draws a penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Summary | Although there are some aspects to his skating and game that need development, Lindstrom is a multi-category beast of a prospect. Fast and agile at 6'4, 205. Great hands and vision with serious game awareness. He's going to be a star. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Jiri Klima | Note | Showing okay speed, but he's not going hard. Just looks like three-quarters effort on the backcheck early in the game. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Jiri Klima | Note | Nice reverse at the corner boards. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Liam Greentree | Note | Nice recovery to get in position and block a pass through the slot | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | Powerplay, running the play off the left halfboards | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | Above average speed, good lateraly mobility | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | Doing a good job moving laterally to try to get into open passing lanes during the powerplay | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | Harmless shot from the top of the right circle | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | Trails and goes hard down the slot, puck bounces up and off him into the net to tie the game | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Ondrej Kos | Note | Too much fishing, not enough effort with his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Ondrej Kos | Note | Looked good there transitioning with the puck through the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Ondrej Kos | Note | Another instance of him fishing for the puck instead of sealing off the potential attack | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Ondrej Kos | Note | On the powerplay, gets called for closing his hand on the puck as Lindstrom was all over him | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Roger McQueen | Note | Big. Tall player with long limbs. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Roger McQueen | Note | Slushy first few steps. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Roger McQueen | Note | His super-long strides are a diesel engine. Slow to power up, but fast after a bit. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Roger McQueen | Note | Heavy lean on his edges gives him a sharper turning radius than expected. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Roger McQueen | Note | Decent edges going heel to heel and crossovers | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Roger McQueen | Note | Crunching hit on a mostly stationary puckcarrier in the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Roger McQueen | Note | Good clean pass across the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Roger McQueen | Summary | Tall, rangy player with some upside. He's a work in progress who will need time develop, but he showed aspects of his game that could translate well to professional play, particularly his desire to push the puck up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Brady Martin | Note | Taking a draw in the offensive zone, plays it forward and steps around the Guelph center to be first to the puck. Nice first step. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Brady Martin | Note | Tries a spin move, but the defender just checks him and bumps him out of his play. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Brady Martin | Note | Left side, takes a drop pass, cuts to the slot, dekes around a defender and lets loose with a wrist shot against the grain. Nice goal. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Brady Martin | Note | Strong on his skates. He's hard to dislodge when he's not trying to be agile. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Christopher Brown | Note | Good quickness, takes a nice line to get in the shooting lane in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Jett Luchanko | Note | Very nice edges and stride. He's a fast and lively skater. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Jett Luchanko | Note | Highly active player at both ends of the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Jett Luchanko | Note | Sharp long diagonal pass through the neutral zone that he got away while under forecheck pressure. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Jett Luchanko | Note | Leading the top powerplay, he played a long shift before the penalty but was right back out. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Jett Luchanko | Note | He's sent a couple of passes to try to set up one-timers, but the shooters couldn't quite connect. Good vision, though. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Jett Luchanko | Note | Gets tripped in front of the net, but the puck rebounds to him, and he makes a play from his knees but is robbed by a desperate stick from the defender. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Leo Serlin | Note | Speed looks above average. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Leo Serlin | Note | Receives a pass in his own end, looks up and leaves the puck while a Soo player dashes in a takes it away from him. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Leo Serlin | Note | Good forecheck read as he steps into the lane and picks off a pass. Then, head up, he feeds to the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Parker Snelgrove | Note | Moving the puck through transition, he footwork is nothing special, and his puckhandling seemed a bit awkward. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Parker Snelgrove | Note | Hustles up the right side with the puck, tries to turn the corner but the defender cuts him off, so he rips a hard pass to his rushing line mate, but no joy. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Arttu Karki | Note | Powerplay quarterback on the top unit. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Arttu Karki | Note | Staring down a one-on-one attack by Kulich, holds his position, active stick, keeps Kulich to a mid-range wrist shot easily saved. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Arttu Karki | Note | Puck at the blue line, slides left, dangles, gets inside to the high slot and fires a wrist shot on net. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Arttu Karki | Note | Not afraid to join the rush. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Arttu Karki | Note | Turns his back to the puck while retreating against the rush. Didn't hurt him there, but that's a no-no. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Arttu Karki | Note | Smooth on his skates, moves well and shows decent speed. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Arttu Karki | Note | Good positioning and lines to thwart to attacking forward, and he steers him behind the net. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Arttu Karki | Summary | More of a two-way defenseman than a pure transition/offensive blueliner. Shows good instincts and positioning in his own end, runs the powerplay well, and throws crisp passes on target | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Jesse Pulkinnen | Note | So tall. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Jesse Pulkinnen | Note | Collects the puck behind his own net, comes around, circles back under pressure. He doesn't have the quickness to escape pressure, but his reach allows him to keep the puck out of reach and then go off the glass with the puck to clear the zone. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Jesse Pulkinnen | Note | He has a tight turning radius for such a tall player. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Jesse Pulkinnen | Note | Using his long strides to generate good speed, goes hard to win the puck race deep in the offensive zone. Passes to the left winger and then cycles back to the point. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Jesse Pulkinnen | Note | Willing to be the first player in to retrieve pucks dumped into the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Jesse Pulkinnen | Note | Too many times he feathers the puck aound the corner as an outlet option. This seldom works for him. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Jesse Pulkinnen | Summary | Quick to activate up ice, and although his first couple of steps are nothing special, he can build speed fairly quickly and win long races. He shows a lot of scoring drive and wants to be involved in the action at both ends. He needs to work on his defense and puck management in his own end, but his up-ice abilities are fun to watch. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Konsta Helenius | Note | Very good speed at the end of the shift. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Konsta Helenius | Note | Using crossover steps to accelerate on a curve out of his own end, and then his transition to power strides is super smooth. Fantastic skating ease. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Konsta Helenius | Note | Ducks low to the right side, pulls in a nice pass, and then pots it up high from a tight angle. Pretty shot. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Konsta Helenius | Note | Passed on a shot to try a one-touch pass acrosst the goal mouth. The play would have been nice had it worked, but it fizzled out among too many sticks. Probably was better off shooting that one. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Konsta Helenius | Note | A couple of times he's taken the puck out of the corner to the half boards, only to be surrounded by Czech players. He doesn't seem to panic, but he needs to make a quicker read and either move the puck or cut back sooner. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Konsta Helenius | Note | Excellent powerplay shift during which he made a couple of dazzling passes out of the corner. One of them created a great chance that should have been a goal. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Konsta Helenius | Summary | Maybe staying a bit too much on the perimeter, but he is willing to hold the puck until options open up. Showed excellent skating and soft hands, and obviously has offensive talents and instincts. As his game develops, and he gets a couple of bad habits out the way, he could turn into a high-quality offensive factor in all games. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Tomas Galvas | Note | Looks small out there, especially guarding the net against the big Finn forward | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Tomas Galvas | Note | Quality skater, high agility, fast in all directions. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Tomas Galvas | Note | Puck mover, and he does it pretty well. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Tomas Galvas | Note | Snap shot form just inside the blue line, didn't seem dangerous and easily gloved. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Tomas Galvas | Note | Relies on his quickness and puck abilities to compensate for some defensive lapses. He tends to get out of position and outmuscled in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Tomas Galvas | Summary | His skating helps him out, a lot, but his smaller size and lack of positioning strength means that he has a lot of work to do to become a better defender capable of warding off bigger forwards. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Powerful skating strides, good technical form, builds speed easily and converts power to direction changes with nice edges. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Beats out the icing with speed and effort. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Big frame which he uses well to shield the puck from defenders. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Good vision to pick out the long diagonal pass through the neutral zone, but a bit off target. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Sneaky reach out and pull back gets him around the US defender. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | He's so fast for a guy that is 6'1, 200 pounds. Power skater. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Out on the powerplay at the start of the second period. He's right point on the top unit. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Smoking wrist shot comes off of his stick low and hard, blocked. Fortescue is hurting after that one. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Again on the powerplay right point, takes the puck, walks in to the top of the circle and rips a wrist shot just over the far corner and rattles the glass. He's got a powerful wrist shot. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Nice, physical pin along the defensive zone boards. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Vision is pretty good, he's finding the right plays, but his passing is a little inaccurate. He'll get there, though. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Takes a hard line up ice and is rewarded with the pass for a clean break. Fires a hard shot far side but Augustine gets just enough of it with the edge of his blocker. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Active on defense, but doesn’t look at comfortable back there. Not bad, for sure, but looks just a little uncertain. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Another nice hit along the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Rushing up ice, the pass comes to him but it's in his skates. He handles it well, gets the puck to his stick and continues up ice without breaking momentum. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Rattles the crossbar, up and out. His shot is so hard as his leans heavily into his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Fishing in his own zone, relying on his stick instead of bodying up the opposition. That will be coached out of him, but his defensive play is still a work in progress. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Any doubts about his skating are answered there as his is able to stick with the near-elite skating of Lane Hutson. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Summary | Big, strong power forward with a massive wrist shot and excellent skating. As he develops, and if he can get some bad habits out of his defensive game and build a low-post power element to add to his blistering wrist shot, he could become a beast of an NHL forward. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Zeev Buium | Note | Silky, fluid skating in transition, dips and drives then slides the puck to the forward after hitting the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Cornell vs Denver (NCAA) | 3/30/2024 | 3/30/2024 | 10300 |
Zeev Buium | Note | At the point on the powerplay, gets the puck, handles to draw the penalty killer closer, then a nice feed to the right, shot, goal. | Brian Fogarty | Cornell vs Denver (NCAA) | 3/30/2024 | 3/30/2024 | 10300 |
Zeev Buium | Note | Agile and quick, he can easily match elusive forwards trying to switch back and shake him. He looks frustrating to play against. | Brian Fogarty | Cornell vs Denver (NCAA) | 3/30/2024 | 3/30/2024 | 10300 |
Zeev Buium | Note | What a great play that all started with a brilliant read in his own end to intercept. Then after the puck goes up ice two-on-one, and a blocked rush shot skips out toward the blue line, Buium hustles up, cuts diagonally to reach the puck before it exits the offensive zone, then one-touches it against the grain to feed his attacking forward for a clean look. Just great stuff. | Brian Fogarty | Cornell vs Denver (NCAA) | 3/30/2024 | 3/30/2024 | 10300 |
Zeev Buium | Note | Another excellent defensive read to get back into position and take away a potential net-front threat. | Brian Fogarty | Cornell vs Denver (NCAA) | 3/30/2024 | 3/30/2024 | 10300 |
Zeev Buium | Summary | Full tool kit with this guy. He has the innate hockey sense in all game aspects, and wonderful skating that allows him to execute all the plays that his eyes are finding. Good size, soft hands. He's the real thing, no question. | Brian Fogarty | Cornell vs Denver (NCAA) | 3/30/2024 | 3/30/2024 | 10300 |
David Goyette | Note | Top powerplay unit, which isn't surprising at all. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
David Goyette | Note | Perfectly timed fly by in front of the goalie, with a hop at the end to get above the low Dvorsky shot. Great screen for the goal. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
David Goyette | Note | Several nice reads in the neutral zone where he picked off transition passes with ease. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
David Goyette | Note | Ankle breaking drag move. That was nasty. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Jack Van Volsen | Note | Speed looks average going hard up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Jack Van Volsen | Note | Two bad giveaways in a row, one that led to a great Goyette chance. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Jack Van Volsen | Note | Getting involved physically, but mostly upper body shoving rather than getting his legs involved and generating force. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Jack Van Volsen | Note | Being called upon to take a lot of defensive-zone draws, and doing quite well with them. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Jakub Fibigr | Note | Shows good speed there, hustling back to cut off an attack, then curling to the boards to freeze Dvorsky. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Jakub Fibigr | Note | Top penalty kill unit, out against the Wolves' best powerplay attack. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Jakub Fibigr | Note | Moves well laterally, adjusting position to stay in the shooting lane. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Jakub Fibigr | Note | Out on the power play, left point with the puck, walks the line to his right using smooth crossover steps to keep his left-handed stick loaded and ready for shot or pass. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |

Jakub Fibigr | Note | Playing on the top powerplay and penalty kill units in a game that is full of penalties. He's getting a ton of special-teams ice time. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Jakub Fibigr | Note | Smooth and fast backwards, using C cuts instead of crossovers. His skating coach would be proud. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Jakub Fibigr | Note | Puck goes up ice and he's about to launch forward but recognizes a potential turnover and an opponent cheating at the Mississauga blue line, so Fibigr cuts over and takes away the long headman pass opportunity. Smart read. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Jakub Fibigr | Summary | Fibigr is a smooth skating two-way defender that looks capable in his own end, holding position and making quality choices on defensive responsibility. He does not look threatening on offense, but he showed quality puck movement on the powerplay. Solid, low-risk player that could develop into a good middle-pair transition defender. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Kieron Walton | Note | Looks big. Tall and solid. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Kieron Walton | Note | Steps right into the path of his own team's breakout. What was that? | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Kieron Walton | Note | Big but low energy, glider. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Luke Misa | Note | Fast through the neutral zone, drives the left side ,then tries to flip a shot short side over the goalie's shoulder. Unnecessary to take a low-probability shot there when he had other options. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Luke Misa | Note | Too lackadaisical in the high slot in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Luke Misa | Note | Excellent skating in all aspects. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Luke Misa | Note | Overly reliant on the drive-the-left-try-short-side attempts. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Luke Misa | Summary | His skating is easily his best tool. Did not appear to be overly creative on offensive, and lacked some dynamism in the game. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
MacGregor Richmond | Note | Incredibly wide skating stride. His feet return to outside his shoulders by a good bit. Looks okay using his edges and going backwards, but his forward stride is all noise. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Nathan Villeneuve | Note | Collects a puck in his own zone then accelerates out through the neutral zone. Nice speed generation despite having Walton inexplicably cut right into his path. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Nathan Villeneuve | Note | He's been tossed from the faceoff dot a few times. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Nathan Villeneuve | Note | Blocks a shot, and while he's shaking it off, goes down to block another one. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Nathan Villeneuve | Note | Goes down to block yet another shot and the puck hits him up high. He goes straight to the bench and down the tunnel. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Beckett Sennecke | Note | Strong stride, big and powerful. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs London (OHL) | 2/28/2024 | 3/5/2024 | 10298 |

Beckett Sennecke | Note | Acceleration and a long stretch keeps the puck from skidding out the offensive zone and he keeps the attack alive. The ensuing pass from the corner deflects into the net. That goal doesn't happen without Sennecke's effort at the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs London (OHL) | 2/28/2024 | 3/5/2024 | 10298 |
Beckett Sennecke | Note | Good one-timer attempt even though the pass forced him off balance. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs London (OHL) | 2/28/2024 | 3/5/2024 | 10298 |
Connor Lockhart | Note | Quick into the deep offensive zone on the forecheck, bodies up the man, forces a turnover. Nice play, showing speed, tenacity, physicality. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs London (OHL) | 2/28/2024 | 3/5/2024 | 10298 |
Denver Barkey | Note | Barkey gets a puck in the high slot, fakes a defender to his knees, get the netminder diving at nothing, then hits the post square with a wide-open cage. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs London (OHL) | 2/28/2024 | 3/5/2024 | 10298 |
Dylan Roobroeck | Note | Too many times he's mishandled the puck and given it away. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs London (OHL) | 2/28/2024 | 3/5/2024 | 10298 |
Kasper Halttunen | Note | Halttunen with a rocket clapper from the point, but what else is new? | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs London (OHL) | 2/28/2024 | 3/5/2024 | 10298 |

Owen Griffin | Note | Looks off balance, like he needs to get stronger in his base, on his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs London (OHL) | 2/28/2024 | 3/5/2024 | 10298 |
Owen Griffin | Note | Hustling, but need to tighten up his change of direction. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs London (OHL) | 2/28/2024 | 3/5/2024 | 10298 |

Ryder Boulton | Note | Gets called for tripping in the neutral zone just a minute after London gave up a goal. The coach will not like that. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs London (OHL) | 2/28/2024 | 3/5/2024 | 10298 |
Sam Dickinson | Note | He's too far up in his zone, and the turnover catches him out of position. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs London (OHL) | 2/28/2024 | 3/5/2024 | 10298 |
Sam Dickinson | Note | Just not making quality defensive reads so far in this game. Took an odd path to the net front and let a man get there first. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs London (OHL) | 2/28/2024 | 3/5/2024 | 10298 |
Sam Dickinson | Note | Looks like a different player when he has the puck. Poised, efficient. He moves well and looks confident holding the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs London (OHL) | 2/28/2024 | 3/5/2024 | 10298 |

William Nichol | Note | Quickness laterally, has some nice agility. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs London (OHL) | 2/28/2024 | 3/5/2024 | 10298 |

Matthew Schaeffer | Note | Likes to carry through the neutral zone, and deke guys if necessary to get into the offensive zone. Attacks with speed and intensity, but not looking to pass at all. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Erie (OHL) | 2/14/2024 | 2/27/2024 | 10297 |
Matthew Schaeffer | Note | Beautiful little 15-foot flip pass launches a two-on-one.

Carter Bear | Note | Top-unit powerplay, too. | Brian Fogarty | Everett vs Prince George (WHL) | 11/20/2023 | 2/16/2024 | 10296 |
Carter Bear | Note | Mishandles and loses the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Everett vs Prince George (WHL) | 11/20/2023 | 2/16/2024 | 10296 |
Carter Bear | Note | Takes a couple of hard crosschecks in his back (penalty called) and after the whistle, he puts a sneaky little stick into the skates and trips the opposing player when no one was looking. Cheeky. | Brian Fogarty | Everett vs Prince George (WHL) | 11/20/2023 | 2/16/2024 | 10296 |

Carter Bear | Note | Gets a suicide pass just inside his own blue liner and gets hammered. Slow back to the bench, but he was back out on his next shift, with no drop in his intensity. | Brian Fogarty | Everett vs Prince George (WHL) | 11/20/2023 | 2/16/2024 | 10296 |
Carter Bear | Summary | There was a lot to like in his play. He was energetic and effective on the forecheck and on defensive play, involved all over the ice, but his puck control in this game at least was a big negative. He needs to improve his puck handling, but if he does, he could become a serviceable prospect. | Brian Fogarty | Everett vs Prince George (WHL) | 11/20/2023 | 2/16/2024 | 10296 |
Hunter Laing | Note | Tall, lanky, but moves pretty well considering he's so long-limbed at his age. | Brian Fogarty | Everett vs Prince George (WHL) | 11/20/2023 | 2/16/2024 | 10296 |

Jett Lajoie | Note | Chooses a slap shot on the rush when he probably had better choices. | Brian Fogarty | Everett vs Prince George (WHL) | 11/20/2023 | 2/16/2024 | 10296 |
Jett Lajoie | Note | Very good straight-line speed on the rush. | Brian Fogarty | Everett vs Prince George (WHL) | 11/20/2023 | 2/16/2024 | 10296 |
Julien Maze | Note | Compact skating stride, and it well for him. Smooth pivots, fast crossovers. He's a quality skater. | Brian Fogarty | Everett vs Prince George (WHL) | 11/20/2023 | 2/16/2024 | 10296 |
Julius Miettinen | Note | On the powerplay, collects deep in his own zone and attacks. Carries through the neutral zone, diagonal to the left outside, drops for the point man. | Brian Fogarty | Everett vs Prince George (WHL) | 11/20/2023 | 2/16/2024 | 10296 |
Julius Miettinen | Note | Nice wrist shot release. Gets a lot of zip on the shot. | Brian Fogarty | Everett vs Prince George (WHL) | 11/20/2023 | 2/16/2024 | 10296 |

Ondrej Becher | Note | Becher has been one of the most effective players in the game. | Brian Fogarty | Everett vs Prince George (WHL) | 11/20/2023 | 2/16/2024 | 10296 |
Tarin Smith | Note | Composed in his own end, just faced down a two-on-one against, and he held his position well and did not overcommit. | Brian Fogarty | Everett vs Prince George (WHL) | 11/20/2023 | 2/16/2024 | 10296 |
Tarin Smith | Note | Not the smoothest puck carrier, more of a pass-first blueliner. | Brian Fogarty | Everett vs Prince George (WHL) | 11/20/2023 | 2/16/2024 | 10296 |
Tarin Smith | Note | Not thrilled with some of his puck management choices but in general he makes safe plays. | Brian Fogarty | Everett vs Prince George (WHL) | 11/20/2023 | 2/16/2024 | 10296 |

Terik Parascak | Note | Shorthanded give-and-go should have resulted in an open-net goal, but his partner could not get his stick on the puck at the end. | Brian Fogarty | Everett vs Prince George (WHL) | 11/20/2023 | 2/16/2024 | 10296 |
Terik Parascak | Note | He gets a lot of juice on his shot. | Brian Fogarty | Everett vs Prince George (WHL) | 11/20/2023 | 2/16/2024 | 10296 |
Terik Parascak | Note | Another hard, mid-range five-hole wrist shot that nearly got through. He won't score five-hole from there at the NHL level, but it shows his confidence and the heat he can get on his shot. | Brian Fogarty | Everett vs Prince George (WHL) | 11/20/2023 | 2/16/2024 | 10296 |
Terik Parascak | Note | Not a dynamic passer but he shows good sense and the ability to get the puck where it should go. | Brian Fogarty | Everett vs Prince George (WHL) | 11/20/2023 | 2/16/2024 | 10296 |
Terik Parascak | Note | He's shoot-first, no doubt, but he doesn't look like a selfish player at all. | Brian Fogarty | Everett vs Prince George (WHL) | 11/20/2023 | 2/16/2024 | 10296 |
Terik Parascak | Summary | Parascak is all about getting the puck on net, but the rest of his game is fairly well-rounded. Good skater, high work rate, thinks through the game. He shines when he's loading up the puck, though. Smart, deceptive shooter who can unload a dangerous shot from anywhere. | Brian Fogarty | Everett vs Prince George (WHL) | 11/20/2023 | 2/16/2024 | 10296 |
Oskar Jellvik | Note | Uses his speed effectively, but never excessively. Rarely overskates a play. | Brian Fogarty | Boston College vs Massachusetts (NCAA) | 2/16/2024 | 3/6/2024 | 10295 |
Oskar Jellvik | Note | On the backcheck, he's tracking his coverage the entire way, and when the puck comes he easily neutralizes the attack. Well played. | Brian Fogarty | Boston College vs Massachusetts (NCAA) | 2/16/2024 | 3/6/2024 | 10295 |
Oskar Jellvik | Note | Another instance of Jellvik going back hard on the backcheck. This time he tracks down the rush and tips a pass away, and the chance dies. | Brian Fogarty | Boston College vs Massachusetts (NCAA) | 2/16/2024 | 3/6/2024 | 10295 |
Oskar Jellvik | Note | Gets a nice feed on the left side, closes and wrists one that Hrabal saves easily. | Brian Fogarty | Boston College vs Massachusetts (NCAA) | 2/16/2024 | 3/6/2024 | 10295 |
Oskar Jellvik | Note | He's a high-energy player. Thinks so fast. | Brian Fogarty | Boston College vs Massachusetts (NCAA) | 2/16/2024 | 3/6/2024 | 10295 |
Oskar Jellvik | Summary | Another good showing, but again, despite getting himself involved both offensively and on defense, he doesn't create chances for himself. He looks like a complementary player who can take advantage of opportunities because of his ability to read the play, and is a great puck distributor. He may struggle to be effective on offense at higher levels after he leaves college hockey unless he does a better job of getting into offense-generation modes. | Brian Fogarty | Boston College vs Massachusetts (NCAA) | 2/16/2024 | 3/6/2024 | 10295 |
Oskar Jellvik | Note | Good first stride to get to the loose puck, eyes up, scanning for options before his gets his stick on the puck, and then a deceptive one-touch pass to open space away from the forechecker. | Brian Fogarty | Boston College vs New Hampshire (NCAA) | 3/3/2024 | 3/6/2024 | 10294 |

Oskar Jellvik | Note | With Perrault out of the lineup, Jellvik is working on the top powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Boston College vs New Hampshire (NCAA) | 3/3/2024 | 3/6/2024 | 10294 |
Oskar Jellvik | Note | Killing penalties, out at the top, active stick, mostly effective in pressuring the point and cutting down passing lanes. | Brian Fogarty | Boston College vs New Hampshire (NCAA) | 3/3/2024 | 3/6/2024 | 10294 |
Oskar Jellvik | Note | Willing to throw a hip into the puck holder on the wall. Don't see him making any type of open ice physical plays, but he's not afraid of contact. | Brian Fogarty | Boston College vs New Hampshire (NCAA) | 3/3/2024 | 3/6/2024 | 10294 |
Oskar Jellvik | Note | Distributing with deceptiveness and crisp passes both forehand and backhand | Brian Fogarty | Boston College vs New Hampshire (NCAA) | 3/3/2024 | 3/6/2024 | 10294 |
Oskar Jellvik | Note | He's not a puck carrier, and his stickhandling is average, but he can bring the puck through the neutral zone with speed, and his vision and passing are high quality. When he gets the puck, he knows exactly what he wants to do with it. | Brian Fogarty | Boston College vs New Hampshire (NCAA) | 3/3/2024 | 3/6/2024 | 10294 |
Oskar Jellvik | Note | High IQ player, reads and anticipation levels are excellent. | Brian Fogarty | Boston College vs New Hampshire (NCAA) | 3/3/2024 | 3/6/2024 | 10294 |
Oskar Jellvik | Summary | Plays with high energy and combines his skating ability with fast game processing. He didn't have a shot in this game (which was tightly played in the neutral zone overall), and he does not look like a player who will create his own offense. However, great passing and awareness, and his a quality defensive forward, too. | Brian Fogarty | Boston College vs New Hampshire (NCAA) | 3/3/2024 | 3/6/2024 | 10294 |
Artyom Bondar | Note | Can’t handle the pass that's a bit in his skates, kicks it to the opposition. | Brian Fogarty | SKA-1946 St Petersburg vs Dynamo Moscow (MHL | 2/2/2024 | 2/9/2024 | 10293 |

Artyom Bondar | Note | Looking a bit disoriented at the end of the rush back to his zone. | Brian Fogarty | SKA-1946 St Petersburg vs Dynamo Moscow (MHL | 2/2/2024 | 2/9/2024 | 10293 |

Ignat Lutfullin | Note | Tries a sharp-angle, one-timer shots that's stopped by the lunging goaltender. | Brian Fogarty | SKA-1946 St Petersburg vs Dynamo Moscow (MHL | 2/2/2024 | 2/9/2024 | 10293 |

Ignat Lutfullin | Note | Shifted to the right side on the powerplay and he drives, passes, goal. He's got a scorer's mentality. | Brian Fogarty | SKA-1946 St Petersburg vs Dynamo Moscow (MHL | 2/2/2024 | 2/9/2024 | 10293 |
Ignat Lutfullin | Note | He wants to score. Highly driven offensively with some creativity. | Brian Fogarty | SKA-1946 St Petersburg vs Dynamo Moscow (MHL | 2/2/2024 | 2/9/2024 | 10293 |
Igor Chernyshov | Note | Immediately notice how thick he is, an how smooth he is on his skates. Easy acceleration and power from his early strides. Fast and mobile. | Brian Fogarty | SKA-1946 St Petersburg vs Dynamo Moscow (MHL | 2/2/2024 | 2/9/2024 | 10293 |
Igor Chernyshov | Note | Working hard in the offensive zone to battle for possession. | Brian Fogarty | SKA-1946 St Petersburg vs Dynamo Moscow (MHL | 2/2/2024 | 2/9/2024 | 10293 |

Igor Chernyshov | Note | Times the drive-by perfectly, and the point shot from Maximov beats the screened goalie high glove. | Brian Fogarty | SKA-1946 St Petersburg vs Dynamo Moscow (MHL | 2/2/2024 | 2/9/2024 | 10293 |
Igor Chernyshov | Note | Tries to loft a pass through traffic with a good read, but a fine defensive play knocks the puck out of the air. | Brian Fogarty | SKA-1946 St Petersburg vs Dynamo Moscow (MHL | 2/2/2024 | 2/9/2024 | 10293 |

Igor Verbitsky | Note | Nice outlet pass, mid-range diagonal, but Bondar boots it. | Brian Fogarty | SKA-1946 St Petersburg vs Dynamo Moscow (MHL | 2/2/2024 | 2/9/2024 | 10293 |
Igor Verbitsky | Note | Carrying on the powerplay transition, decent handling, wheels are just average or little better | Brian Fogarty | SKA-1946 St Petersburg vs Dynamo Moscow (MHL | 2/2/2024 | 2/9/2024 | 10293 |
Igor Verbitsky | Note | He's been on the ice for most of the double minor. Blocks a shot, and he looks sore and exhausted, but he's still fighting. | Brian Fogarty | SKA-1946 St Petersburg vs Dynamo Moscow (MHL | 2/2/2024 | 2/9/2024 | 10293 |

Ivan Demidov | Note | Makes a pass to give his linemate a clean open chance, but he inexpicably passes back to Demidov.

Ivan Demidov | Note | Looks very comfortable with puckhandling and creativity on the small ice surface. | Brian Fogarty | SKA-1946 St Petersburg vs Dynamo Moscow (MHL | 2/2/2024 | 2/9/2024 | 10293 |

Matvei Korotky | Note | Looks like he lacks acceleration, and maybe footspeed. | Brian Fogarty | SKA-1946 St Petersburg vs Dynamo Moscow (MHL | 2/2/2024 | 2/9/2024 | 10293 |

Artyom Levshunov | Note | Left point on the powerplay, walks the line forehand side until he draws the penalty killers over, then a sharp pass back to Larson in the left circle. Spot on pass. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Artyom Levshunov | Note | Builds speed nicely, drives the neutral zone and pushes the defending forwards back into their own zone. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |

Artyom Levshunov | Note | Continually putting his body in good position between the attacking forward and where the puck will be. Steady anticipation and awareness. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Artyom Levshunov | Note | Closes down a Pitlick break and leaves him nothing but a long snap shot easily saved | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |

Artyom Levshunov | Note | Wasn't able to match Kurth's speed, and although he tried a stick lift at the end, he allowed Kurth a breakaway goal. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Artyom Levshunov | Note | Right handed defenseman with good reach | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |

Artyom Levshunov | Note | Augustine holds the puck behind his net, and Levshunov calls to him with instructions, and it was the right call. Leads to a breakout and offensive zone possession. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Artyom Levshunov | Note | Down in the 3rd period, and he's seeing almost non-stop ice time. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Artyom Levshunov | Summary | Smart positional play in his own end, and two-way mentality stood out the most for me. The fact that he was on the ice so much late in the game as Michigan State was trying to get back into the game speaks to his offensive abilities, as well. He may lack the high-end speed, but that's about the only thing I saw missing in his skill set. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |

Connor Kurth | Note | Skating looks okay on the first shift. Not digging in hard, but showing some mobility | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |

Connor Kurth | Note | Gets a puck with space in front of him, skates in to the neutral zone, but sends a too-hard pass across to the left that bangs off of the receivers blade and skips into the offensive zone where State can recover | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |

Connor Kurth | Note | Gets a headman pass, speeds up ice and is able to gain a step for clean look at net, and finishes nicely. His effort at the end of a shift spent mostly in his own zone was admirable. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Connor Kurth | Note | He has a nice burst and has used it effectively several times this game. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Connor Kurth | Summary | His burst while in motion is his most effective weapon, with a quick change of gear that allows him to take advantage of open spaces. Beyond that, he has a good wrist shot on the move. The rest of his game is above average, but no one other attribute stands out as a big advantage. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |

Isaac Howard | Note | Uses his feet through the middle to get a partial breakaway, but couldn't find enough room to get a clean shot away | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |

Isaac Howard | Note | Not as fast as I want him to be. He's above average to good, but his speed isn't going to earn him any accolades | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |

Jaxon Nelson | Note | Shoves the defender back into the goaltender, who goes down. Shot from the point goes in, and Nelson gets called for goaltender interference. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Jaxon Nelson | Note | His long legs give him that sneaky, tall-man straightline speed | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Jaxon Nelson | Note | Great 4-3 pp pass to M22 far side | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |

He wasn't a big impact player in this game, but he made some small plays that were effective. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |

Joey Larson | Note | Carries through the neutral zone, gets a zone entry while his line is changing, and then he puts a harmless, just-inside-the-blue-line wrist shot on net with no hope of recovery. His only saving grace is it was blocked up into the netting and play stops. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Joey Larson | Note | Good play behind the net to lift the stick and take the puck away from M4, then turn and feed Savage in the slot for the first Spartan goal of the game. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |

Joey Larson | Note | Not fast with the puck through the neutral zone. Has good jump, but top end caps out pretty quickly. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Joey Larson | Note | Toe-drag release was tough for the goalie to handle, low. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Joey Larson | Note | PP, wrist shot from the left circle, kind of double clutched on it | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |

Joey Larson | Summary | He was involved all game long, driving offense and was often a threat in the offensive zone. His game-tying goal showed the full aspect of this game: movement, awareness, poise with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Karsen Dowart | Note | Harassing the puck carrier with a sequence of stick lifts, taps, chops | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |

Karsen Dowart | Note | Steals in the offensive zone, driving diagonally through the slot on his off side, decides to try to drop pass when I'd rather see him try to win a step and turn hard to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Karsen Dowart | Note | Fires a good, hard wrist shot low, but a pad save kicks it out | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |

Karsen Dowart | Summary | Constantly engaged and pushing play, his energy and competitive drive stood out on every shift. He might not have the skills to match, and his ceiling looks fairly low at this point, but he's a gamer. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Oliver Moore | Note | Overskates the puck in the offensive zone, and the opposition gains possession | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |

Rhett Pitlick | Note | Top PP unit | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Rhett Pitlick | Note | Wow, he just got called for hooking on a play where he lifted the shooter's stick from behind. Never touched the body hands, nothing. That's an odd call, to say the least. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Rhett Pitlick | Note | Pass is too far in front of the lead man trying to enter the offensive zone, and the pucks goes all the way into the corner | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Rhett Pitlick | Note | Pitlick's puck management has left a lot to be desired so far | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Rhett Pitlick | Note | Nice job to redirect a deflected puck, down and past the netminder. Marginal high stick, but I think it was good. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Rhett Pitlick | Note | Pilick has Snuggerud all alone in the slot, but puts the pass hard and in his skates and the chance is gone | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Adam Benak | Note | Fast up ice with the puck, tries to dangle through a couple of defenders and does, but gets tripped (no call) and slides hard into the end boards. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | Quick but so small at 5'6. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | High slot at speed, dangles his man, loads and fires a wrist shot that clips the goalie's shoulder and drops behind him but skitters to the side of the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | His speed is excellent, and he is light on his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | Low right side on the powerplay, playing just above the goal line, and when he gets the puck he's in complete control of the entire zone. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | His weight shifting and edgework makes him extremely ellusive and agile. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | Hits the puck holder on the boards. Not hard, but he's getting in there. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | His confidence in possession, and the ability to puckhandle in any conditions or threats, is elite level stuff. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | If he gets to 5'9, he'll be an NHL superstar. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | Takes a dirty, high hit from Spellacy. He was down for a minute, but then up and ready for the powerplay. Between that hit and his hard knock into the boards earlier in the game, he's taking a beating but still highly effective. Tough kid. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | Slips his man, fires on net, and Kubiesa puts away the rebound. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | Congested slot area, he's on the move left to right, and a kicked puck comes to his feet. He one-touches a no-look pass back between his feet onto the tape for what should have been an easy goal. That play made me gasp. So fast, so creative, so well executed. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | Wrist shot low far side is difficult for the netminder, because he has to expect everything from Benak and can’t cover it all. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | Another excellent pass for a tap-in goal. Perfect. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Summary | Far and above every player in this game despite being a year younger. He is an amazing prospect in every way, save his height. Incredible hockey iq and hands to match the processing speed. Quick, agile, nearly untouchable, and showed some physicality and toughness, too. He just has to get taller to get his fair chance. Super talented. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Jiricek | Note | Eating tons of penalty kill minutes. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Jiricek | Note | Easy backwards manueverability | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Jiricek | Note | Not afraid to use a one-timer bomb from the left circle on the powerplay. Two in a row that were hard, on target, but saved. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Jiricek | Note | Pinches deep, draws a holding call. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Jiricek | Summary | Not a lot of notes in the game, but that was mostly due to him just doing everything well and the play being mostly in the offensive zone. I liked his activation up ice, and he helped generate offensive chances. He also played probably 30 minutes and never missed a beat. Maybe has a better offensive game than his brother at this point, but he's just as good everywhere else. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Titlbach | Note | Nice give and go through the neutral zone gets him into the offensive zone in possession, and the passing combination has created a 4-on-2. Titlbach shows pass as he drives the slot, then unleashes a no-look, hard wrist shot that beats the goaltender top blocker side. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Titlbach | Note | Great feed. Holds, looks off the defender, then elevates the puck to Drancak for a tap-in goal. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Titlbach | Summary | Notes suffer here because he was on the same line with Benak who just stole the show. Titlbach looked dangerous and clever, with good skating and awareness. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Aidan Park | Note | Skating looks methodical, not dynamic or fast. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Aidan Park | Note | Carries into the left corner, turns back, then shuffles the puck to an opposing player for a breakaway against. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Aidan Park | Note | Good hustle to split through the center lane, take in a pass and get an attempt on net. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Aidan Park | Note | Gets a partial breakaway but can't shake Galvas to get the shot away. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Aidan Park | Summary | Skating lets him down a little, but there was some spark to his game. He had a couple of good chances that he created with smart play, but needed an extra step to finish. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
JJ Montiero | Note | Has the puck, trying to turn with the defender covering him, pumping his outside skate. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
JJ Montiero | Note | Hard pass comes to his feet, handcuffs him, and the puck goes by and out of the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
JJ Montiero | Note | He's a chip and chase player. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
JJ Montiero | Note | No flash, just a straight north-south player with some skill. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
JJ Montiero | Summary | Has size, and some skill to go with the work rate, but he lacks offensive creativity. He will drive play into the zone with determination and fight for possession, but at this point he's not much more than a grinder. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | Good read to cover the point for the pinching defenseman. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | Tries a shot from distance, but not at all a threat to score. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | That shot from closer in at the inside of the right circle was much more dangerous. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | Nice, solid hit in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | Collects a Benak rebound and pots it into the open net for a powerplay goal. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Matej Kubiesa | Summary | Engaged at both ends, active and intentional. He looks like a utility player that can do whatever is asked of him. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Ondrej Kos | Note | Killing penalies early on. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Ondrej Kos | Note | Looks fast. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Ondrej Kos | Note | Right point on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Ondrej Kos | Note | Penalty kill, and his forechecking efforts just burned 30 seconds off of the penalty. Tremendous work. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Ondrej Kos | Note | Finishes a nice feed from Sykora with a one-timer snap shot. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Ondrej Kos | Note | Nice, long power strides. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Ondrej Kos | Summary | I liked his game a lot. Fast paced, works hard and uses his feet and game iq at both ends of the ice. On the penalty kill he hounded the puck, never letting the US powerplay get settled and created a couple of short-handed chances. His offensive play was marked by the same intensity and hustle, but he also showed good vision and good hands to start and finish plays. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Trevor Connelly | Note | Good wheels early, gets to a puck deep and then flashes it out to the right dot for a scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Trevor Connelly | Note | Right halfboards on the top powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Trevor Connelly | Note | Excellent speed carrying through the neutral zone, hits the offensive zone hard and gives the puck away trying to drive the center lane through three penalty killers. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Trevor Connelly | Note | Loses the handle in the offensive zone, but tracks back all the way to his own zone to retrieve. But then he just gives it away again in the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Trevor Connelly | Note | Cutting left high slot, feeds an against-the-grain pass to the right post for an assist. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Trevor Connelly | Summary | The skill is obvious. He plays hard, and with a high level of scoring drive when he has the puck. He was creative in finding open players, showed a hard, accurate shot. The biggest downfall in the game was the mental errors, especially in puck management choices. Still, he could be a good second-round-type prosect with upside. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Will Zellers | Note | Bumper spot on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Will Zellers | Note | Hard wrist shot from the slot almost beat the goalie low. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Will Zellers | Note | Has a great first step, accelerates well laterally and changes directions easily. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Will Zellers | Note | Lovely sauce drops the puck right onto Park's stick. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Will Zellers | Note | So fast getting to loose pucks off the faceoff. He's quick off the blocks. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Will Zellers | Note | Good one-timer from the right of the net to finish to excellent pass from Connelly. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Will Zellers | Note | Good use of his body to wedge into the defenseman and try to separate him from the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Will Zellers | Summary | Uses his acceleration to be disruptive, and he showed nice patience and vision along with puck skills that enabled him to be one of the best players for the US squad. He'll battle in tight but looks more effective with space in the middle. I liked him. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Atte Vikla | Note | Drives the center with the puck, dangles but can't get a clean shot away at the end. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Atte Vikla | Note | Scrap and hustle. Moving his feet to get involved in the play. Banging, lifting sticks, doing whatever it takes. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Atte Vikla | Note | Moves well and often. Uses his feet to gain and regain position. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Atte Vikla | Note | Hard slapper wide off a one-timer. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Berkley Catton | Note | One-hands the puck on a turn using his free arm to ward off the defender, then a sharp pass to the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Berkley Catton | Note | Wearing a "C" here. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |

Berkley Catton | Note | Excellent read to cut the lane in the neutral zone, intercept and start a dangerous counterattack. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Berkley Catton | Note | He's patient and commanding with the puck on his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Berkley Catton | Note | Shows good hands to try to tap a deflected shot, but an excellent save keeps the puck out. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Berkley Catton | Note | Bit of a scramble in Canada's end, and he's calling out assignments and talking to his teammates a lot. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Berkley Catton | Note | Good, quick shot coming out from behind the net. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Berkley Catton | Note | Smart in his own end. Could have chased into the corner, but broke off to cover the F3 going to the net and let his D take the F1 to the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Berkley Catton | Note | Draws a holding penalty with his speed and drive | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |

Berkley Catton | Note | Like his effort going back and in his own zone. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Berkley Catton | Note | Gets to the loose pucks, eyes up, feeds over to Mews at the left circle. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Berkley Catton | Note | Beautiful touch pass with elevation, gets it over the defending sticks and drops it right in stride to get Masse a solo look on net. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Berkley Catton | Summary | Crafty, playmaking Center who can also shoot. He is a hard-working player at both ends of the ice, and was driving the play on every shift. He's a high-quality prospect. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Carson Wetsch | Note | Excellent speed up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |

Carson Wetsch | Summary | Fast, two-way physical forward who makes up for his lack of offensive creativity with hustle and determination. He's a player who can do it all, but at this point looks unlikely to light up scoreboards anytime soon. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Emil Hemming | Note | Gives the puck away on the powerplay with a bad pass under pressure. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Emil Hemming | Note | Follows the bad turnover with an excellent cross-ice pass to the farside point. Hard, right on the tape, starts off a three-pass powerplay goal sequence. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |

Justin Poirier | Note | Wins the puck in the corner, but then sends a no-look pass to the high slot where no one was. Led to a one-on-one counter that the Finns finished to take the lead late. Poor decision from Poirier that hurt his team. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Justin Poirier | Summary | He'll use physical play to be disruptive on the forecheck or defending transitions, and showed quality speed and acceleration, but also seemed somewhat inconsistent shift to shift. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |

Maxim Masse | Note | Sloppy extensions there, trying to go hard up ice. Too much kick at the end was draining speed. He'll clean that up. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Maxim Masse | Summary | This game was all about his play at the front of the net. He drove the crease without the puck, and was so good when he was there. He has a lot of tools to be a very good NHL forward. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |

Michael Misa | Summary | Just superb in the offensive zone. His hands and vision were on display all game long, and although he tried to too much a couple of times, he was so effective all game long that it didn't matter. He's an elite prospect. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Ryder Ritchie | Note | Above-average straight-line. Could have probably gone harder there, but he was mostly full out, it seemed. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |

Noel Nordh | Note | Nice, long shot, low far side, pad saved. Shot might have been going just wide. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 6/18/2023 | 10289 |

Tom Willander | Note | Penalty kill faceoff, he throws the puck over the glass and now there's a near-two-minute five-on-three against. Oof. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 6/18/2023 | 10289 |

Rylen Roersma | Note | Average speed, not great change of direction or acceleration. [Skating -0.5 to 0] | Brian Fogarty | Brandon vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 3/18/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10288 |
Brandon Svoboda | Note | Receives a pass at the offensive blue line, enters, tries to beat two defenders, turnover. | Brian Fogarty | Youngstown vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 4/14/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10287 |

Brandon Svoboda | Note | No spark in his game. | Brian Fogarty | Youngstown vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 4/14/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10287 |
Eric Pohlkamp | Note | Left point on the powerplay in zone possession | Brian Fogarty | Youngstown vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 4/14/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10287 |

Eric Pohlkamp | Note | Just turned his back to the puck in front of his own net. | Brian Fogarty | Youngstown vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 4/14/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10287 |
Eric Pohlkamp | Note | Stocky player with a bit of a hunched, boxer's form. Moves well, but not an electric skater. | Brian Fogarty | Youngstown vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 4/14/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10287 |
Eric Pohlkamp | Summary | Offensively talented player out of the backend who brings little defensive capabilities at this time. As a right-handed blueliner with up ice skills he might get some more chances to crack an NHL lineup, but without size and without a good defensive game, I'm skeptical. | Brian Fogarty | Youngstown vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 4/14/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10287 |
Kentai Isogai | Note | Very wide skating base in his strides shorten his extensions | Brian Fogarty | Youngstown vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 4/14/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10287 |

Kentai Isogai | Note | Plays the game the right way, just not a lot of skill or speed to go with the mentality. | Brian Fogarty | Youngstown vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 4/14/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10287 |
Kentai Isogai | Summary | I honestly wish he had more skill, because everything else about his play is high-quality. Unfortunately, despite having all the mental qualities I like to see in a hockey player, he just falls short of the skill package necessary to make the NHL, I'm afraid. | Brian Fogarty | Youngstown vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 4/14/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10287 |
Martin Misiak | Note | Tall, lanky | Brian Fogarty | Youngstown vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 4/14/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10287 |

Martin Misiak | Note | Nice hustle on the backcheck. | Brian Fogarty | Youngstown vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 4/14/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10287 |

Will Whitelaw | Note | Whitelaw trying to take on three defenders while the is four-on-four. He has to realize that someone is going to be wide open, right? | Brian Fogarty | Youngstown vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 4/14/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10287 |
Jamison Sluys | Note | Okay speed and first step. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |

Jamison Sluys | Note | Not the most agile skater, a little to hoppy trying to move diagonally or laterally. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Jamison Sluys | Note | Nifty little against-the-grain pass creates a scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |

Tanner Ludtke | Note | Very nice flip pass ahead, tucks it behind the defender's skates and lands it right on the tape. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Note | Skating stride is so slow. His feet take forever to move through the cycle. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Note | Top powerplay center. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Note | Misreads the puck bounce off the boards, and he lacks the step needed to correct position before the opposing defender can close the gap and take possession. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Note | Straight-line speed is too slow. Just lost probably ten feet in the race to stop a shorthanded breakaway and was too far behind to do anything at all. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Note | His turn is tight, but he can't push out of it, just no power in his feet at all. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Note | Set up at the top of the crease, gets a pass from behind the net and one-times it home. Elevated the puck over the lefty goaltender's blocker. Nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Note | He's attentive on defense, but if he's not in position near the locus of play, he's ineffective because he can't move to the new spot required | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Note | Again showing nice hands, with some good sauce on a circle-to-slot powerplay pass. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Note | Good release and power on a wrister from the left circle. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Note | Winning his faceoffs. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Summary | Ludtke's game is all in his hands. He's a good passer and owns a quality shot, with good game awareness and vision. Unfortunately, his feet hold him back a lot and unless he improves his skating he will struggle to make an impact at the NHL level. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Brad Lambert | Note | On the powerplay, carries--flying--up the left wing, runs out of space, pulls up, passes to the defender. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Peterborough (Memorial Cup 2023) | 6/2/2023 | 6/3/2023 | 10285 |

Gracyn Sawchyn | Note | Entering the offensive zone, puck slides to him but a bit behind, tries to one-hand it in and doesn't quite, and the Petes take control.

Gracyn Sawchyn | Note | Good choice under pressure to pass to his defenseman out of the neutral zone and reset. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Peterborough (Memorial Cup 2023) | 6/2/2023 | 6/3/2023 | 10285 |
Gracyn Sawchyn | Note | Active intensity at the net. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Peterborough (Memorial Cup 2023) | 6/2/2023 | 6/3/2023 | 10285 |

Nico Myatovic | Note | Shows good speed trying to get back, relies on his edges for a hard stop instead of gliding/slowing. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Peterborough (Memorial Cup 2023) | 6/2/2023 | 6/3/2023 | 10285 |

Nico Myatovic | Note | has the puck deep, tries a backhand pass gives it away. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Peterborough (Memorial Cup 2023) | 6/2/2023 | 6/3/2023 | 10285 |

Caden Price | Note | A little flat-footed in his zone on that sequence during the Slovakian attack. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Cameron Allen | Note | Wrist shot freezes the netminder, but clips the crossbar up and away. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Dalibor Dvorsky | Note | Tangled up with Price, scrapping and wrestling after the whistle. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Frantisek Dej | Note | Ready for the one-timer high, high slot. Beavertails, waits, and even though the moment has passed, when the puck does come to him, he tries it anyway. Canada player is there to disrupt. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Frantisek Dej | Summary | Dej is a big, no-nonsense center. Good at the game of hockey, but at this point does not bring anything special to the ice. Diligent off the puck, some physicality, some offense, but looks like a marginal NHL prospect. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Juraj Pekarcik | Note | Big player on the left wing, with the big player first step that looks about average. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Juraj Pekarcik | Note | Tries to drop a pass back through his legs, but he was stationary at his defensive zone half boards. Not the best idea. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Juraj Pekarcik | Note | Looks so mechanical and clunky at the end of a shift, and a step or two behind the play. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Juraj Pekarcik | Note | Looks like a different player with the puck. Intentional, aggressive. Quick release. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Juraj Pekarcik | Note | Gets a breakaway, but Dragicevic grabs hims and draws a penalty shot. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Juraj Pekarcik | Summary | Pekarcik plays an aggressive up-ice attacking style of offensive, with good speed in possession and a goal-scorer's mentality. His skillset lags his style of play a bit, but he does have some upside in his development. Likely an early-mid-round pick (think 3rd round) whose development will be crucial to future success. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 2-Jun | 10284 |

Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Good pinch to keep the skittering puck in the zone and Canada on the attack. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Extremely confident with the puck no matter where he is. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Maxim Strbak | Note | Floating a bit in his zone. Tried a couple of hard rim pushes that didn't lead to a breakout or clearance. Cruising back towards his net while his teammate is outnumbered in the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Maxim Strbak | Note | Tries to cut off th epuck at the offensive blue line but doesn't recognize the threat behind him and gives up a 2-on-0 counter. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Maxim Strbak | Note | Penatly kill, would like to see a better first step | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Maxim Strbak | Note | Methodical and calm at both ends. Not very creative, though. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Maxim Strbak | Summary | Strbak's future in the NHL looks like a more stay-at-home type of player who will be relied upon to kill penalties and keep forwards from holding the puck in the high-danger area of the zone. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Tristan Bertucci | Note | Transition, far side, puck goes deep and he has a choice to chase or pull up and let the forwards go after it. Tempting to chase, but he wisely pulls up. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Tristan Bertucci | Note | Hard, long diagonal pass with air that misses by a good bit. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Tristan Bertucci | Note | Nice play to start the breakout. Soft pass, lifted over sticks, right on the tape in stride. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Good work to get into the corner with speed to battle for the chipped-in puck. Gets possession, moves the puck to the open man, stats a scoring-chance sequence. | Brian Fogarty | Latvia vs Canada (WC 2023) | 5/27/2023 | 5/27/2023 | 10283 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Phenomenal goal from Fantilli. Hits the zone with speed, takes the pass, deke and snipe. | Brian Fogarty | Latvia vs Canada (WC 2023) | 5/27/2023 | 5/27/2023 | 10283 |
Dans Locmelis | Note | Opens the scoring with quick hands down low to find and pot the loose puck in the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Latvia vs Canada (WC 2023) | 5/27/2023 | 5/27/2023 | 10283 |
Dans Locmelis | Note | Overcommitts ith the stick reach and allows Krebs to cut back against the grain into open space. | Brian Fogarty | Latvia vs Canada (WC 2023) | 5/27/2023 | 5/27/2023 | 10283 |
Dans Locmelis | Note | Shows good awareness on defense, but maybe floating a little to high in the slot. His coverage is man-on-man, so it makes sense, but still. | Brian Fogarty | Latvia vs Canada (WC 2023) | 5/27/2023 | 5/27/2023 | 10283 |
Dans Locmelis | Note | Against caught reaching and it makes him flat-footed and susceptible to quick change-of-direction attacks against him. | Brian Fogarty | Latvia vs Canada (WC 2023) | 5/27/2023 | 5/27/2023 | 10283 |
Dans Locmelis | Note | Eschews a chase to a loose puck in favor of better defensive positioning. | Brian Fogarty | Latvia vs Canada (WC 2023) | 5/27/2023 | 5/27/2023 | 10283 |

Dans Locmelis | Note | In the zone, he's attacking the net at all times. | Brian Fogarty | Latvia vs Canada (WC 2023) | 5/27/2023 | 5/27/2023 | 10283 |
Dans Locmelis | Summary | There are things to like in Locmelis's game, such as his high scoring drive, offensive skills and good acceleration, but too often he put himself out of position, lacked general awareness, and suffered from a sort of disorganized play. | Brian Fogarty | Latvia vs Canada (WC 2023) | 5/27/2023 | 5/27/2023 | 10283 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | Watchful, gliding into position, rips a one-timer, but just wide. That was close. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs France (WC) | 5/22/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10282 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | Excellent speed at his size. Straight line skating is quality. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs France (WC) | 5/22/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10282 |

Leo Carlsson | Note | A bit too upright skating, but that will get fixed no problem. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs France (WC) | 5/22/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10282 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | Release is ridiculously fast, as are his hands skills in general. Wrists are so strong. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs France (WC) | 5/22/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10282 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Slowly backing out of the neutral zone with the puck, waiting and drawing the forechecker until an opening appears, then a clean connection to the far side red line. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | One-time slap shot from the blue line goes wide. Lots of power, though. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Settles the puck, nice slot pass to the forward with speed differential. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |

David Reinbacher | Note | Good line, then just muscles the puck away from the German puck carrier with a solid shoulder rub out on the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Looks like a brick wall. Broad shoulders, solid frame. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |

David Reinbacher | Note | Sharp wrister from the mid point, glove save. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | As a right-handed shot, with speed, size and two-way awareness, Reinbacher is going to be a prime target for NHL gms. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Tries to clear, whiffs on the puck, turns it over That's the first clear mistake I've seen him make this game. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |

David Reinbacher | Note | Has such a hard, heavy wrist shot. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Excellent backhand leading pass that springs a great chance on goal. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Veit heading up ice with the puck left wing boards, and Reinbacher completely neutralizes him with angle, shoulder and leg strength. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | A beast in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | German attackers are reversing the puck just to avoid having to take on Reinbacher. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Summary | Probably the best all-around defenseman in the draft class. Maybe not the high offensive ceiling that someone like Dragicevic shows, but he's big, strong, fast and smart and just a killer in his own end. He will be a first-round pick and a future NHL defender that teams won't like playing against. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Ian Scherzer | Note | Chases to the endboards, forces the defender into a mistake. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Ian Scherzer | Note | Good first step and change of direction. He's agile and moves easily around the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Ian Scherzer | Note | Seems to like the chip and chase approach to zone entries, and why not. He has the speed and tenacity to get into the corner and win the puck battle. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Ian Scherzer | Note | Second time he's turned his back to the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Ian Scherzer | Note | Powerplay, misses his pass attempt into the slot. Needs that to be a bit sharper. Next couple of attempts were better, though. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |

Ian Scherzer | Note | He's a battler. Never stops moving or scrapping. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Ian Scherzer | Note | Little wasted movement in his stride. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Ian Scherzer | Summary | Tenacious, very good skating and some good hand skills makes him an interesting prospect. Unlikely to go high in the draft, but someone will want to get him into their system. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Max Stiegler | Note | Comes up the right side, above average speed, then forces a too-hard backhand pass that can't connect and the puck goes tumbling into the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Roman Kechter | Note | Seemed to just watch that German rush instead of trying to get involved in it. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Roman Kechter | Note | Just looks too passive a lot of the time. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Roman Kechter | Note | Sees an opportunity developing, jumps hard to the slot, takes a good pass and wrists it low far side. Nice shot, but it seemed again like he was just passively waiting for something to happen, saw it, and reacted. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Veit Oswald | Note | Good speed carrying up through the neutral zone. Shifty. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Veit Oswald | Note | Had a decent chance to clear the zone, but he tried to chip out with a backward-between-his-legs move that simply did not work, and the Austrians keep it in the zone. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Veit Oswald | Note | Veit heading up ice with the puck left wing boards, and Reinbacher completely neutralizes him with angle, shoulder and leg strength. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |

Danila Sysuyev | Note | Going full out but falling a step or two behind the rush. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Danila Sysuyev | Note | Backhand pass to the slot, but no one there except defenders. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Klimovich | Note | Beautiful lead pass finds him right at the blue line, and he makes no mistake on that lightning wrist shot. I wish I had a still clip of that release: huge bend, excellent weight transfer. Beauty. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Klimovich | Note | Ice-water composure. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |

Ivan Klimovich | Summary | Looks like the veteran MHLer that he is. Cool and calm, he creates chances and looks creative in the offensive zone. I'd be surprised if he goes undrafted again, but I'm not certain what his NHL potential would be. Middle six at best, and likely a KHL player that maybe comes to North America at 24 or 25. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Still likes to get right in the slot, stick on ice, and ready to pounce on a conversion opportunity. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Left side on the powerplay, just launching salvos on net. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Taking up his spot in the defensive zone, staying in touch, but not really contributing much. Mostly just stationary. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Tries to drive the puck to the slot, but there are three defenders there and he gets closed down and loses the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Can get some sneaky passes away because his shot draws so much attention. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Another look at his key strength as a player: getting the puck in the slot and creating something dangerous on net. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Looks so thin. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |

Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Backing up, then goes forward on a dime. Excellent change of direction. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |

Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Good keep at the blue line, then he passes up the boards and goes hard to the net, tired to tuck in a rebound but the puck dies right at the goal line. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Wrist shot fom the point sneaks through somehow. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Right point on the powerplay and he's beavertailing like mad. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |

Mikhail Gulyayev | Summary | Does a lot of things well. He's a transition defenseman who distributes the puck well, particularly from the point in the offensive zone. Walks the line to open up shooting or passing lanes. Looks unruffled with the puck under pressure. This 2023 NHL draft class is light on high-end defenders, so he'll be among the first few blueliners selected. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Timofei Davydov | Note | Rocket one-timer off the faceoff beats the goaltender glove side. What a blast. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |

Timur Mukhanov | Note | Takes the puck top right, goes to the dot, then edges hard to his left, loses the defender, and roofs it over the goalie's shoulder. Lovely powerplay goal. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Timur Mukhanov | Note | His skating gets him into and out of little spaces, making him especially effective in high-traffic areas. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klesov | Note | Wide-set strides but okay speed up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klesov | Note | Doesn't seem to have the greatest agility. Wide turning base, slow on his turn exits. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klesov | Note | Big body at the net on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |

Yegor Klimovich | Note | Always on the move, this time sneaking down the weak left side of the ice, one-touch attempt on a cross-crease pass but the pucks slips just on the outside of the post. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | His closing speed is ridiculous. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | Mixing it up after the whistle at his own crease. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | Gets the puck right point and he's suddenly in the low slot, but his wrister goes just over the bar. Wow, he's fast. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | Beautiful look and completion, high to low. Nice assist. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | Attacks the net right side, draws a penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | His speed with the puck is disruptive. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | Gets taken down, loses the puck, and his frustration at the non-call leaves him deep in the offensive zone while the puck is already all the way at the other end. Get up, man! | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | Cleans up a rebound and puts it into the open net. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Summary | Such an exceptionally fast skater. His wheels will give him a lot of opportunities in the future. I was not at all fond of his obvious frustration and how it derailed his game at times, but he looks like a player that might contribute in the NHL some day if he continues to develop. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Danill But | Note | Looks good on his skates, mobile and balanced. Uses little crossovers steps effectively to generate speed on an angle. Long legs make his turning radius fairly wide, but he accelerates through it. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill But | Note | Off the bench, the attack coming towards him, he turns and easily matches the pace of the rushing opponent. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill But | Note | Gets caught reaching for a puck at the point and defender dips around him with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill But | Note | Half-hearted snap shot off the boards looks more like trying to create rebound trouble than an actual scoring attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill But | Note | Hard, crunching hit that could be a boarding call puts his man down to the ice. Draws a long video review and an eventual five-minute major. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill But | Note | On the powerplay, right point, he exits the zone and hovers a few feet outside the blue line so that he can hit the zone again with some speed when the pass comes across from the left point. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill But | Note | Uses his long reach and easy glide to drag the puck low, looks like he's going behind the net, then an ultrafast pull back behind the netminder and flicks the puck into a now-open net. Excellent goal. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill But | Note | A few times he has done the same play, where he's at the right point, pass low to the circle then drives the center lane looking for a give and go return pass. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill But | Summary | Very interesting forward prospect. Tall, with long reach and long legs. Very good skater who is always active. Looks a bit like a guy who has not quite adapted to his length, but he showed good hands, good vision and a nose for the net. His development progression will be interesting to watch. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill Ivanov | Note | Up top on the powerplay, stays out a long time. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill Ivanov | Note | Big windup slapper hits something in front of the crease. He was fast through the back swing and release, and the shot was low and hard but hit a skate. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill Ivanov | Note | Good line to cut off the forward from an attacking lane. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill Ivanov | Note | Very much a first-pass blueliner who can be effective at the point on the powerplay. Not much of a transition game. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Dmitri Simashev | Note | Big guy, rangy with long strides. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Dmitri Simashev | Note | Has the speed to easily match attacking forwards and to beat most of them up the ice. He has good turns and lateral movement, too. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Dmitri Simashev | Note | Not killing penalties at all, despite the lengthy major. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Dmitri Simashev | Note | Looks like a defender who is far more comfortable leading a rush up ice than he is defending his own zone. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Fyodor Khrapov | Note | Takes a bump and goes to the ice, a bit too easily for my liking. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Fyodor Khrapov | Note | Goes hard on the backcheck. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Fyodor Khrapov | Note | Hounding Simashev on the forecheck. That was good stuff. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Ilya Rogovsky | Note | Turns to his right, foot work is good, and the next step was powerful. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Ilya Rogovsky | Note | Top penalty kill unit, where he can use that nice first step to close gaps. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Ilya Rogovsky | Note | On the penalty kill, left-side player drops to block a shot, and when the puck goes back to the shooter, Rogovsky is fast to his left to clog the lane until his teammate can get back on his feet. Fast thinking, faster skating. Excellent play. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Ilya Rogovsky | Note | Rogovsky and his glorious lettuce are first out to kill the major penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Ilya Rogovsky | Note | Easily beats Danill Ivanov in the up ice puck race. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Ivan Gavrilov | Note | Throwing his body around a lot on his first shift. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Ivan Gavrilov | Note | Coach seems to be matching him against But early on. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Ivan Gavrilov | Note | Big hit with his shoulder straight into the chest. That was textbook. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Nikita Susuyev | Note | Playing the bumper spot on the second powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Nikita Susuyev | Note | Better with his edges than power skating. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Nikita Susuyev | Note | Goes to the net, but the goaltender sticks away the incoming pass. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Nikita Susuyev | Note | Generating some chances coming off the left half-boards on the powerplay. First a hard wrist shot, then a pass low. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Nikita Susuyev | Note | That's a couple of times in a row he's fired a hard wrist shot into the shins of the defender. He's got to figure out a way to change the angle and get that shot around his opponent and on net. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Nikita Susuyev | Note | Highsticks the defender below the goalline. Tried to lift his stick and missed it completely. Bad enough it was deep in the offensive zone, but it was also at literally the last second of the period. His team will start the next period with a tw0-minute penalty kill to deal with. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Yegor Surin | Note | Very good speed, perhaps better than that. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Arjun Bawa | Note | Covering right point, forced back to defend a two-on-two rush. He looks comfortable skating backwards, just stays calm, maintains his lane, and the attack fizzles out. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Arjun Bawa | Note | Solid on the puck. Big guy, hard to move away from the boards or knock off the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Arjun Bawa | Note | Big, long strides. Not quick, but he builds respectable speed. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Cash Koch | Note | Highly attentive in his zone. Watching, scanning, swiveling his head to monitor his point coverage, staying in position. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Cash Koch | Note | Unfortunately, Koch did not see much ice time in the game, but his defensive zone awareness was noteworthy in the few shifts he had. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Hudson Thornton | Note | Good speed. Low, compact strides. Skates into open space and makes a nice outlet pass. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Hudson Thornton | Note | Center point on the powerplay, moving the puck quickly, accurately. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Hudson Thornton | Note | Hard one-timer low, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Hudson Thornton | Note | Walks the puck down the left dot lane, keeps finding more space until he wrists one high and tight that Suchanek fights off with his shoulder. That was a tough shot to save. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Hudson Thornton | Note | Keeps his eyes scanning at all times, Allows his to consistently find the right outlet receiver. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Hudson Thornton | Note | Hard slapper low, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Hudson Thornton | Note | Collecting the puck and making the first pass is his biggest strength. So good at it. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Hudson Thornton | Summary | Obvious from the notes is his ability to gather the puck in his zone, get a few strides into space and make a clean breakout pass. Had a few good looks at net and used a couple of different shots to try to beat Suchanek. High competitive drive, and decent all-around transition defenseman. Maybe lacks the dynamic factor that would make him an NHLer, but I would be surprised if he passes through the draft again. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jordan Gavin | Note | Left wing half-boards on the powerplay, top unit. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jordan Gavin | Note | Two steps towards the slot, pivots his hips around to face the puck (which is down in the left corner), then one-times the pass, but a big save stops him. Good shot. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jordan Gavin | Note | Agile, but not fast, really. Good speed but not much more than that, it seems. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jordan Gavin | Summary | Had a lot of ice time, and a lot of chances. Sometimes he was driving the play, and sometimes he looked a step behind the pace and more of a passenger. Has easily apparent offensive skills, and looked comfortable handling the puck in the offensive zone. Needs some development time, though, but as a 2025 draft-eligible player, he has plenty of time to do that. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jozef Villem Kmec | Note | Moves well going backward, cuts off the lane to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jozef Villem Kmec | Note | Straight line speed is average or a little better. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jozef Villem Kmec | Note | Wrister from the point that Dubinsky deflects down, and the puck finds its way past Suchanek. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jozef Villem Kmec | Note | Very good lateral movement. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jozef Villem Kmec | Summary | Steady but unspectacular blueliner. Does all the little things well, but doesn't really stand above the rest in any one area. I can see him as a contributing bottom pair defender that adds depth and reliability to a good NHL team. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Gets a puck low right side, waits, waits, tries to lift it over Suchanek's shoulder but the goalie saves it. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Good acceleration to get to a puck. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Love the angle of attack into the zone, the pass finds him perfectly, drives, pulls up, fires low. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Not ten minutes into the game and he's already had four or five high-vision looks and completed passes. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Fighting and winning net-front battles. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Just buzzing. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | It just looks like the game is so slow to him. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Solid hit on the defenseman behind the net. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Glorious chance that Suchanek somehow gets a toe out to stop. Brilliant save robs Ziemmer there. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Another nice hit below the offensive goal line. Physicality and speed and scoring ability. Nice package of skills and desire. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Likes the spinning shot on net low. Hasn't worked yet, but he'll try it from anywhere. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Summary | Such an impressive player who ticks all of the boxes for a NHL forward. Very good to excellent skater who can accelerate to loose pucks or open spaces, use his edges to avoid contact or reposition, plays with some physical impact. His vision and passing are excellent, and he can either shoot from the dots or battle at the net. Easily a first-rounder who in a normal year might be knocking at the door of the top ten. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Lightning one-timer hits a leg at the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Brilliant defensive line of retreat, then battles and wins position at the net. Smart play all around. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Defensive intelligence is so high. Excellent decisions all the time. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Minute and a half left, tied game, and he's diving at the offensive blue line to keep his powerplay unit in the offensive zone. Pops back to his feet to control the play, and earns his team extended zone pressure time. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Lukas Dragicevic | Summary | There's a reason that Dragicevic is the most relied-upon defender for Tri-City. Speed, smooth four-way movement, high-level scoring and offensive skills packaged with near-elite defensive acumen, and with size. He's an NHL impact blueliner through and through. Unquestionably the top defenseman in this draft class. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Connor Levis | Note | Out killing penalties early in the game. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Connor Levis | Note | Stankoven with a nice feed, but Levis lets the puck go through his skates and it's a turnover and counter attack the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Connor Levis | Note | Nice check into the boards. Solid, clean. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Connor Levis | Note | Likes to be at the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Emmitt Finnie | Note | Lead pass takes him into the offensive zone, tries to split two defenders but gets upended. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Jaden Lipinski | Note | Up top on the second penalty kill unit. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Jaden Lipinski | Note | Good speed on the forecheck. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Jaden Lipinski | Note | Tries a hit at the boards, but mostly misses. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Jaden Lipinski | Note | Gets spun around and shows good balance to just 360 and maintain momentum up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Jaden Lipinski | Note | Can't convert the amazing feed from Honzek. Just didn't do anything with it despite the excellent chance. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Jaden Lipinski | Note | Same shift, lifts the puck up over the glass from his own end and takes the delay penalty. That went from bad to worse. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Jaden Lipinski | Note | Bends at the waist, but is a bit stiff-legged. Okay skater, but can improve. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Jaden Lipinski | Summary | Lipinski looks like a project player. Has good size, and some good tools, but just isn't playing at a high enough mental pace yet. Given time, he could there, though. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Right wing on the top powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Tall, but very fluid on his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Carries toward the slot, dangles then slips a fast-release pass low right side. Excellent look. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Carries with confidence and uses his edges and long reach to evade trouble. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Has the puck right halfboards, and finds the far-side cutter with a spectacular look and pass. No finish from Lipinski, but what a chance created. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Shove to Hofer's back is about the most physical I've seen from Honzek so far this game. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Going full out he has excellent speed. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | I like how he used his shoulder and hip to wedge between the puck and the opposing player and gain control. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Sort of attempts a hit but mostly just bumped the puck carrier instead of driving through him. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Curls off the right wall, snipes short side and beats the netminder clean. Nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Summary | Composed, tall forward with a lot of talent. His passes stood out--clearly--in this game, but his shot looked good, too. The Giants were clearly outmatched by the powerhouse Blazers in the game, but Honzek was easily the best Vancouver player. He'll be an NHLer, for sure. I'd like to see him improve his physical play, but he has all the tools to be a top-six forward and a scoring threat. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Ty Halaburda | Note | Okay movement laterally, a little methodical maybe. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Ty Halaburda | Note | Nice acceleration to change speeds off the glide and get back. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Ty Halaburda | Note | Double-shifting, it seems, killing penalties, too. He's on the ice a lot, here. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Ty Halaburda | Note | Low wrist shot, saved but leaves a juicy rebound. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Ty Halaburda | Note | He can produce very good top speed. He's first to a lot of loose pucks. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Ty Halaburda | Summary | Halaburda is a smart, 200-foot player with very-good-to-excellent speed. Lacks a dynamism and offensive flair, though, and I think that will limit his upside by quite a bit. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Nice, hard shoulder contact in the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Another good shoulder check. Really asserting a physical presence early in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Produces a ton of speed using crossovers out of his turn. Graceful power. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Huge burst of speed there going after the long pass. Like a rocket. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Can really fire the puck on the move. Hard, sneaky and jet-fast release. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Finishing every check. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Has the size, speed, patience, skills. He's ready for the NHL. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Great backcheck effort, a two-step change of speed and long reach to disrupt the backdoor chance to Cooley. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Adam Fantilli | Summary | Despite the tough competition from Leo Carlsson for the second overall spot in the 2023 draft, I think Fantilli is a lock. He moves, thinks, handles everything so well, and has such great game awareness, that he really does look ready for the NHL right now. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Brody Lamb | Note | Cooley blocks a shot, and Lamb joins him on the odd-man rush.Not as fast as Cooley, but fast enough. Turns his hips to open up for the pass and wires on over the sprawling netminder. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Brody Lamb | Note | Muscles his way through traffic up the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Brody Lamb | Summary | Continues to look like a potential NHLer, but probably with a bottom-six upside. Solid player but he hasn't shown game-breaking ability at this level. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | Super quick. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | Left side with the puck, one-handed control trying to turn the corner and leverage the defender with his inside arm, but gets forced behind the net by sound defensive positional play. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | Killing penalties against the vaunted Minnesota top unit. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | Always on the puck. And his speed is so dangerous. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | Leads a rush, hard angle, but snappy shot rebound creates a breakout the other way, and Brindley is going 200 feet to break up the attack. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | Faster than anyone else on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | Third assist of the game. He's factored in on all three goals for the Wolverines. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | I think he'll get an assist on that goal, too, but if he does, it's more puck luck than a clean secondary assist. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | Races to beat an icing late, up a goal, two minutes left. What hustle! | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Summary | His speed is a killer, but his ability to consistently affect the game on every shift that makes him look like a solid NHL-caliber player despite his 5'9, 157 frame. He works so hard to make an impact, and the puck just finds him. His father played at 5'10 and near 200 pounds, so if Gavin can add an inch of height and maybe get to 175, even better. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Jimmy Snuggerud | Note | Snuggerud with a beautiful pass. One tap give and go through traffic at speed. Just wonderful activity. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Jimmy Snuggerud | Note | Snuggerud is skating much better these days. Seems like every time I see him his feet look better. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Jimmy Snuggerud | Note | Big hit dislodges the puck, he collects and starts another attack. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Logan Cooley | Note | Blasts up ice to join Snuggerud on a break and snipes a goal. Cooley is flying. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Luke Hughes | Note | Not having his best game, but he's still driving play up ice. So much fun to watch him transition the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Matthew Knies | Note | Smooth on his edges. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Matthew Knies | Note | Plants into Brindley and puts him down. Knies is so big and strong. Brindley is…not. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Matthew Knies | Note | Beats Luke Hughes with an inside out move, draws a trip and one could argue for a penalty shot, there. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Rhett Pitlick | Note | Highlight goal! Eventually puts the defender on his belly with a sequence of forehand-backhand moves, then pots it. Incredible goal. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Rutger McGroarty | Note | McGroarty cleaning up rebounds at the crease. Twice in just a minute. Great hands in tight. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Rutger McGroarty | Note | Ill-advised back pass gets tipped and springs Snuggerud. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Snappy wrist shot from the point, low to the ice, redirected for the goal. Strong release, nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Pass across to his defensive pair along the blue line, too much loft, hard to receive and the pass goes past his man. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Sharp wrist shot from the point, tipped down in front, goal. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Pass back to his defenseman, too hard, and behind him. His defensive pair has to retreat to collect. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Looks good carrying the puck in transition, gains the zone, passes to an opponent. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Bumps his man off the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Dips, dekes, enters the zone, wrist shot high slot, easy save. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Brutal giveaway, just a horrible choice. Gave the puck away inside his own blue line for a two-on-zero against. Easy goal that cuts the Youngstown lead to just one in the third period. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Carries into the zone, loses the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Summary | Has some obvious offensive upside, but his mental errors were numerous and at times nearly unforgiveable. His best asset appears to be his shot, but his game IQ and decision-making appears to be his worst. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Brandon Svoboda | Note | Smooth on his skates, great acceleration off the glide. Easy speed. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Brandon Svoboda | Note | Quick hands sends a pass to the center point, easy to handle. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Brandon Svoboda | Note | Like his skating a lot. Builds speed quickly, and keeps building. Fast skater, smooth feet. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Brandon Svoboda | Note | Defender is caught low, and he slides back to cover the right point. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Brandon Svoboda | Summary | He's 6'3, 212 pounds and his a very good skater, with easy mobility. Battles in the corners and on the walls. Not a lot of offensive upside at this point, but he has the tools to develop into a sturdy, bottom-six forward especially if he can improve his offense. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
James Reeder | Note | Average skater. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
James Reeder | Note | Not the flashiest acceleration. Upright skater. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
James Reeder | Note | Left wing on the second powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Lucas St. Louis | Note | Likes using his edges a lot, always in motion. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Lucas St. Louis | Note | Gets caught way up ice, and shows little hustle trying to get back. Just sort of wandered back to his own zone. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Lucas St. Louis | Note | Center point on the 1-3-1 powerplay. Moves the puck with authority. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Michael Burchill | Note | Wide stride, average speed, average acceleration. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Michael Burchill | Note | Really nice one-touch, diagonal pass through the neutral zone finds the head man right at the blue line. That was a smart pass, and shows excellent awareness and vision. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Michael Burchill | Note | Creates a turnover, two-on-one follows, gets an assist. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Michael Burchill | Note | Centering the second powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Michael Burchill | Note | Noting that on many shifts he looks dead-legged by the end. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Michael Burchill | Summary | Some moments of offensive flair and intelligence, but his feet will hold him back. He will have a lot of work in front of him if he wants to proceed up the levels. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Noah Powell | Note | Stride has his feet crazy far apart, never coming back in front. Very awkward looking and power limiting. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Noah Powell | Note | Snaps a cross-ice pass to get a clean zone entry, but doesn't have the speed to follow appropriately and the puck carrier gets swamped with no options. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Noah Powell | Note | Runs into his own man in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Noah Powell | Note | Feet are so wide, he can't generate any push at all. Needs desperately to fix that. Does Dubuque have a skating coach? | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Noah Powell | Summary | Can almost write the same summary as I did for Burchill. Has some moments, but his skating needs so much work. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Ties to thread a cross-ice pass through two defenders and it's blocked and turned over. Risky choice on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Next pass attempt gets some air, finds the cutter in the high slot. Better choice, better pass. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Smaller, speedy player. Aggressive at times, but glides a lot. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Pucks pops to him off the faceoff, cutting behind the dot to the slot, snap wrister that the goalie was able to fight off, but only just. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Same play off the next faceoff, but this time hs slides the puck back to the point, and then goes to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Patient with the puck under pressure. Keeps working, maintains possession while avoiding pokes and lifts. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Physical game despite his size. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Excellent line to get back and prevent a shorthanded breakaway. Speed helped him a lot, but that was a smart recovery, too. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | High agility and fast hands means he can generate chances quickly. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Summary | One of the best players in the game, certainly of the group that I was watching. At 5'9, 173, he is on the smaller end of the NHL forward spectrum, but his skating is good enough, and he has the offensive flair to make the NHL but possibly only as a marginal player. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Chris Delaney | Note | Not watching him, but that is the second time I've seen him turn his back to the puck and just skate away not noticing that if he had turned toward that puck instead he would have had easy possession and a clear attacking lane. Ooof. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jake Livanage | Note | Shows very good speed sprinting up ice during a rush. Then gives good effort to get back. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jake Livanage | Note | Drifts back with the puck, holding until the line change is made, then a crisp pass to the open winger at speed. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jake Livanage | Note | Drifting a bit in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jake Livanage | Note | On a night when the ice was incredibly snowy, it's been fun watching him adjust his pass weight to compensate. Passes getting harder and sharper each time. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jake Livanage | Note | Like him a lot better moving forward than playing in his own end. His defensive game needs help. Plays up too high, looks more for transition options than protecting his net. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jake Livanage | Note | Getting outmuscled at the net front, losing positional battles. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jake Livanage | Summary | An offensive-style defenseman who needs to improve his commitment in his own end. Just not playing hard enough in the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jayden Perron | Note | Peels out of the left corner with the puck, curls, finds Celebrini right circle for a one-timer. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jayden Perron | Note | One-timer shoulder saved. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jayden Perron | Note | Bad pass behind his man kills a zone entry possibility, the ice is so bad pucks are just dying. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jayden Perron | Note | Drives past two Cedar Rapids players, turns the corner, finds Celebrini at the net front for a tap-in goal. Great play. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jayden Perron | Note | Superb pass that wasn't converted. Too bad, because that was a beauty. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jayden Perron | Note | Shifty with the puck on his stick. Good handle, good edges. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jayden Perron | Summary | Highly skilled player who works so well with his linemate Celebrini. He showed excellent awareness, good skating especially with the puck, and a natural ability. Like him. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Logan Renkowski | Note | He's going to be a good skater. Light on his edges, good four-way movement. Stride is a little sloppy but that will get better. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Logan Renkowski | Note | Just not getting any ice time at all so far. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Logan Renkowski | Note | Out for a shift, looks speedy, working hard, steals a puck and no-looks a pass to a better option who boots it. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Logan Renkowski | Note | Another nice pass that the receiver loses. He's getting no help. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Logan Renkowski | Note | Getting a lot more ice time in the third period with Wisdom out of action. Quicker than he is fast, but he's got good wheels. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Logan Renkowski | Note | Beautiful cross-ice pass. Great vision on this kid to find open players. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Logan Renkowski | Summary | The young player did not see much action in the first two periods, but got better ice time in the third. Very good skater who will get even better, and showed excellent vision and passing. It will be fun to watch him develop. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Reads Perron's turn and quickly sets up near the right dot. One-timer, but didn't get all of it, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Not the best acceleration. He's just not digging in for hard pushes, but at speed he is a very good skater. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Takes a hit, stays on his skates while the other guy goes down to the ice. Strong base. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Cutting through traffic in the offensive zone, passes back between his legs, but the play dies on his teammate's stick. Good look that deserved better. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Consistently winning faceoffs. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Like his speed and creativity in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |

Mack Celebrini | Note | Sets up for a one-timer, but instead sends a one-touch pass to the far post. Excellent look that should have been a goal. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Tries to deke around his man, who essentially tackles him (no call), then he's up and racing back to nullify an odd-man rush against. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Own end, positions at the near post with the play behind the net, intercepts the centering pass and clears it out. Smart defensive play. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Impressed by his defensive play. He plays a high-IQ game, with a lot of offensive skills but still digs in at his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Tied game with 8 minutes left and he's battling for pucks like this is a Stanley Cup game seven. Love it. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |

Mack Celebrini | Note | Jaw-dropping move and finish. Gets a puck moving down his own blue line, dekes the F1, gains speed through the neutral zone, dekes the left winger by dropping the puck around the defender's back then skating around him to it, recovers, curls the defenseman, then wrists it far post and in. Gorgeous play. Wow. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Summary | Sensational player. Whip smart, dedicated at both ends, superb work ethic, skills, passing, shot. He's the entire package and he plays the game like he was born to it. Excellent prospect. Just so much fun to watch. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Nick Moldenhauer | Note | Mostly ineffective. Average speed, looks kind of clumsy at times, but then shows nice vision or awareness. He needs lots of work. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Zaccharya Wisdom | Note | Wide strides, and wide turns, but he gets up ice quickly. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Zaccharya Wisdom | Note | Gets a puck high slot, tries the five hole but his wrist shot is saved. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Zaccharya Wisdom | Note | On the forecheck, pressuring, defender bobbles the puck and Wisdom steals, steps hard to the net, beats the netminder from the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Zaccharya Wisdom | Note | Attacking the zone entry with speed, but his game looks so linear. He's straight ahead, single minded, plays like he's on rails. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Zaccharya Wisdom | Note | Takes a puck in the face after a pass attempt ramped off a stick. Leaves the game with a towel on his face. Ouch. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Aram Minnetian | Note | Speedy defender, eager to get into the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Aram Minnetian | Note | Takes a solid hit but keeps his feet. Excellent balance, there. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Aram Minnetian | Note | Uses his speed to chase down a breakaway and lifts the stick to prevent the shot. Great hustle, clean play. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Aram Minnetian | Note | High scoring drive and is constantly involved in the offense. He wants the puck, but he's not overcommitting nor neglecting his defensive responsibilities. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Aram Minnetian | Note | Elusive with the puck as he uses his feet to outmaneuver opposing forwards at the point. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Aram Minnetian | Summary | At 6'0, 170 his has a full-package skating skillset that makes him dangerous in all three zones. Doesn't show a great shot at this point, and will need to work on his offensive contributions, but if he continues to develop his hand skills, he could become a solid NHL transition defender. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Austin Burnevik | Note | Looking indecisive in his own and just got caught trying to both go up ice and get back, and his man just skated away from him. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Austin Burnevik | Note | Big guy, very tall. Average speed, bends at the waist instead on in his knees. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Austin Burnevik | Note | Turns away from the play and doesn’t see the turnover, so he's going up ice when the play was going the other way towards his own net. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Austin Burnevik | Note | Tries to dump and chase but he doesn't have the wheels to beat the defender to the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Austin Burnevik | Summary | I think Burnevik still has a lot to work on his game. He was not fast enough, creative enough or physical enough to make much of an impact in this game. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Ethan Fredericks | Note | Big, board-rattling hit at the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Ethan Fredericks | Note | Maybe a little above average speed (0.5-1.0). Awkward on his edges. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Gabe Perreault | Note | Nice acceleration, generates quality speed in just a few strides. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |

Gabe Perreault | Note | Tries a lacrosse move but loses the puck as he tries to lift it off the ice. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Gabe Perreault | Note | Good defensive positioning, wins the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Gabe Perreault | Note | Follows the play to the front of the net, pokes in a loose puck for his second goal. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Gabe Perreault | Note | Collects a ten-foot rebound from the Smith bullet and puts in straight to the back of the net for the hat trick. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Gabe Perreault | Note | He gets back to the defensive zone with urgency, and he's active and capable when back there. Good penalty killer, too. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Gabe Perreault | Summary | Hard to find a fault in his play considering his hat trick and his defensive play. Scored with anticipation and shooting ability, worked hard, moved his feet. Solid two-way forward with offensive drive. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Jack Sparkes | Note | Has a bomb from the point. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Very fast. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Always flying around, this time he gets a breakaway, and even Minnetian couldn't track him down. Finishes with a forehand-backhand move for the pretty goal. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Working hard in the offensive zone, disruptive and attacking the net. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Matvei Gridin | Summary | The 2024 draft-eligible player was a spark in the Muskegon lineup. He has a lot of filling out to do, of course, but he has excellent speed and a super-high work rate. Anticipates the play, uses his speed in all three zones, and has the hands to finish plays. Keep an eye on this one. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Oliver Moore | Note | Wires a nasty wrist shot from the high slot, through a screen, beats the goaltending glove side just inside the post. Nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Ryan Leonard | Note | Reverse hit in open ice, right after passing the puck off to a defenseman. Good physical play, but that should be interference. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Ryan Leonard | Note | Great read at the offensive zone blue line to intercept the breakout pass, then he's straight to the high slot and fires the puck just high. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Ryan Leonard | Note | Leonard snags the puck just inside the blueline with speed, drives the slot, shows shot, waits, then a last-second pass to Perreault at the right side of the net for an easy one-timer into the open net. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Ryan Leonard | Note | Passes behind the defender's back across the slot to Smith. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Ryan Leonard | Note | Has the puck on a two-on-one with Smith, carrying in from the right side, again showing shot, but this time Leonard rips the puck far side, goal. Sniped the top corner. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Ryan Leonard | Note | Takes a shoulder to the head, then retaliates with a punch to the defender's head. Then in the ensuing scrum, he fakes a punch at another play and draws a penalty when the other player punched him. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Ryan Leonard | Note | Killing penalties. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Ryan Leonard | Summary | Maybe my favorite player in this game. He did it all, and his passing, shooting, vision and skating made him a scoring threat on nearly every shift. I can see him cracking the top ten in this high-quality draft class. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Sasha Boisvert | Note | Long body, thin legs, moves very well though. He gets to speed easily. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Sasha Boisvert | Note | Drives the offensive zone towards the left dot, loses the puck to a well-timed poke check. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Sasha Boisvert | Note | Not working hard enough in his own end. Big circles out towards the blue line, then just watching as a NTDP player skates the puck right past him. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Tyler Dunbar | Note | Has the puck deep in his own end, holds long enough to draw in two forecheckers, then passes out to the blue line for a clean exit. Good play. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Tyler Dunbar | Note | Nice transition game. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Will Smith | Note | Skating out of his own end one-handing the puck, and gets it easily poked off his stick at the blue line, turnover and counterattack against. Come on. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Will Smith | Note | Harassing on the forecheck, poking, lifting, right side, left side, until the puck carrier makes a bad choice to escape pressure by passing backwards up the boards, straight to Leonard for a counter. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Will Smith | Note | Really relies on his hands to do all the work that he's not doing with his feet. I will say he looks quicker this game than my previous viewing, but he still hasn't been skating hard. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Will Smith | Note | Man, when he wants to, he can really rifle a puck on net. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Zach Schultz | Note | Last man back, takes a good diagonal line to the attacker, then an excellent poke check strips the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Axel Sandin Pellikka | Note | Carrying up ice, hits the brakes and leaves the opponent just scrabbling past him, then Sandin-Pellikka simply resumes the attack. Beautiful. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Axel Sandin Pellikka | Note | Really aggressive in transition this game. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Sweden turns it over at the blue line, Odelius in last man back, and he bodies up the attacker, stops the charge and gains possession. Well played. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Good wrist shot, low short-side, saved with a nice skate from the netminder. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Passes are crisp and clean. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Julian Lutz | Note | Making quick reads and showing good hands to get pucks on net. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Julian Lutz | Note | Skinny legs, but shows good quickness and lateral agility. Skating, good hands. A work in progress. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | Changes speed with a single step. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | The size and manueverability make him so desirable at the NHL level. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | Near the red line, pass coming from his defensive zone, and he turns to shield the passing lane from the defender, gains positional advantage and creates a clear line of attack. He bought a two-step advantage with pure body position. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | Great recognition of speed differential, and one-touches a pass perfectly. So smart. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | Good hands, going into the mix then slipping a pass back out to the point. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | Not a hitter, but goes to the net, battles. Uses his size as a tool, not a weapon. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | Great puckhandling, drives around the defender. Big, fluid, with soft hands. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | Very good speed at stride. Mechanics, length of stride, everything just so good. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | In a normal year, Carlsson would be a first-overall pick. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | Getting some unfavorable bounces, or he'd have a couple of points in this game already. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Leo Carlsson | Summary | Carlsson is the full NHL package. At 6'3, 194, he already has an imposing physical presence, but he plays such an intelligent game, with such good body awareness and stick skills that he could play in the NHL now. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Muscles his man to the outside, sealing off the line to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czechia (2023 WJCs) | 12/29/2022 | 2/24/2023 | 10271 |

Eduard Sale | Note | Highly manueverable with a quick first step. Effortless skater. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czechia (2023 WJCs) | 12/29/2022 | 2/24/2023 | 10271 |
Eduard Sale | Note | Slick move to pull the puck between the forechecker's skates and then move it out of danger. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czechia (2023 WJCs) | 12/29/2022 | 2/24/2023 | 10271 |
Eduard Sale | Note | Playing high in his own zone, ready to activate up ice. Looks more like a coaching choice than Sale trying to cherry pick. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czechia (2023 WJCs) | 12/29/2022 | 2/24/2023 | 10271 |
Axel Sandin Pellikka | Note | Left halfboards on the top PP unit. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |

Axel Sandin Pellikka | Summary | Everything in his game looks so easy. His skating is fluid and his body control is excellent.

He will be a good NHLer. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Danny Nelson | Note | Tall, but easy skater. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Danny Nelson | Note | Puck out on the wing, Nelson drives the center lane, pass comes to him but hops his stick. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Danny Nelson | Note | Centering the second PP unit. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |

Drew Fortescue | Note | Big body, long reach. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Drew Fortescue | Note | Not the type to push the play up ice. Looks much more stay-at-home. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Felix Unger Sorum | Note | Not much knee bend in his skating, Very stiff. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Felix Unger Sorum | Note | Skating is really sub-par. Just took about twenty steps to go ten feet. No knee bend, no push, just a ton of wasted movement in his feet. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Noah Dower-Nilsson | Note | Good skater, smooth edge work and good form. Will get even faster over time. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Noah Dower-Nilsson | Note | Tries to force the puck into the slot when his better option was the right point where there was time, space and movement. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Oliver Moore | Note | Quick, gets low with strong legs to generate acceleration. Maybe needs work on the extensions though. They looked a little slushy there. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Oliver Moore | Note | Carving his way through the offensive zone with the puck. May be the best skater in this game. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Oliver Moore | Note | Out on the penatly kill, gives up the puck behind his own net, but then fights to get it back and clears the zone. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Oliver Moore | Note | Fun to watch him skate. Excellent balance and agility. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Oliver Moore | Note | His quickness and work rate makes him an effective forechecker. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Oliver Moore | Summary | There is so much to like in Moore's game, but it all starts with his feet. He is a full-package skater, and plays a comptetitive game with a high work rate. Did not see a lot of offense from him in this game, but he showed good puckhandling ability and looks like a player who can create offense. I need additional viewings to have a better gauge of his offensive game. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |

Otto Stenberg | Note | Very slow to transition back to his own end. Just not moving his feet. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |

Will Smith | Note | Taking up a good position defensively, net front, attention to the play behind the net. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |

Will Smith | Note | Now the US is on a 5-on-3, Smith carries down the right boards, below the goal line, shifts a pass to the other corner. I want to see more spark in his play. Just not a lot of urgency. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Will Smith | Note | Release on his wrist shot is lightning, though. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Will Smith | Note | Like his vision and passing. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Will Smith | Note | Wrist shot is hard, but wide short side. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |

Will Smith | Note | Pacing looks plodding at times, but he's slowing the tempo to the speed he wants to play at. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Will Smith | Note | He has an array of deceptive moves, built out from his passing ability. Shoulder dips, head fakes, torso twists. Keeping the opponents off balance. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Will Smith | Note | Speed may be above average, but I haven't seen him burn yet. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |

Will Smith | Summary | Smith is an extremely skilled puck handler and passer. His stick work can look elite at times, and his vision and awareness are absolutely NHL level. However, I am concerned after watching this game that he may not be able to do those same things when the pace of the game is NHL level. As a U18, he can use his hands to beat anyone on the ice, but he will need to get his game pace to match his hands if he wants to continue to have the same kind of success against the world's best players. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Sliding in from the left point, shoulder fakes a shot, adds a half step towards the slot, then shoots with a clearer shooting lane. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Showing off his hands. Puck is bouncing everywhere, but he knocks it out of the air, tips it around the defender, skates and recovers. Makes a good pass for a dangerous chance. Nice sequence. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Handles the puck with deception and grace through the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |

Adam Fantilli | Note | Holds the puck at reach while carrying, which affords him a wider range of options to pull it back, around, etc. With his hands, he can use that reach as a weapon. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Andrew Cristall | Note | Crossover skater, but his transition to power is okay. Keeps his feet moving a lot, good energy early. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Andrew Cristall | Note | Carries into the ozone, flicks the puck to left point then goes straight to the crease. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |

Andrew Cristall | Note | Fast out to the point to close down the puck, then back again the the high slot and another excellent stick lift to destroy and one timer attempt. Working hard on defense. Love it. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |

Andrew Cristall | Note | Low right side on the pp, holds while a sliding defender goes past him, steps left, holds to try to open the Nettie, then shoots far side but the goaltender gets the edge of his blocker on it to make the save. Nice, patient work down low. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Carson Rehkopf | Note | Very lax on the penalty kill. Had a chance to change, didn't. Tried to cheat the zone, got caught. Didn't move his feet. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Carson Rehkopf | Note | Two opponents entering the zone left side, with Rehkopf inside both. He tries to jump past the inner most player to get to the puck carrier instead of keeping position and bottling them both. When he made the jump, the puck carrier read it well and just slipped the pass to his now open teammate with an open lane to the net. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Colby Barlow | Note | Big, looking to make a hit, maneuvers around a player but was a bit late to make hard contact on the puck carrier, so he wisely eased up. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Colby Barlow | Note | Out on the penalty kill. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Colby Barlow | Note | Not the smoothest skater laterally or in tight turns, but he works hard to get the puck on net. His edgework isn't the prettiest on ice today, though | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Colby Barlow | Note | On the penalty kill, intercepts in his own slot, then a beauty short pass to open up the breakout for Gauthier. That little pass created a dangerous 2-on-1 short handed attack. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Colby Barlow | Note | In deep on the penalty kill forecheck, but he reads the switch and hustles back to cover in his own end. I like the work ethic he's showing in this game. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |

Kalan Lind | Note | Gets possession in the offensive zone, lots of time, spins a cross ice pass to the middle of nowhere. Opposing defenseman just skates over and picks it up. No idea what he was doing with that pass attempt. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Kalan Lind | Note | A point shot was partially blocked, and skittered toward Lind at the top of the crease. He tried a turning one-touch shot that was smothered. He had time to catch and shoot, which likely would have given him a better chance. He tried a deceptive play that was well read, but a more deliberate play could have given him a better reward. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Matthew Wood | Note | Hard shot from a wrister on the move. A bit wide, but lots of heat. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |

Matthew Wood | Note | Hard, right-handed wrist shot. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |

Ryan Greene | Note | Powerplay, right front side of the crease. Doesn't beaver tail, but slaps his stick down on the ice and leaves it as a target. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Ryan Greene | Note | Takes a hit, but keeps his feet and recovers possession. Great balance. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Scott Ratzlaff | Note | He's been great through the first 35 minutes. Reading well, good hard lateral pushes. Making quality saves and controlling the rebounds. I don't watch the goalies, but this performance has been tough to ignore. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |

Kevin Bicker | Note | Creates a shorthanded attack with his speed, sticks to it, puts the rebound back to the crease, and the second man in puts that away. Great effort from Bicker. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 7/31/2022 | 8/1/2022 | 10268 |

Quentin Musty | Note | When he shows his skill with a simple play, he shines. But mostly he's forcing, or waiting for someone else to do the work so he can shoot. Not at all happy with his play this game. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 7/31/2022 | 8/1/2022 | 10268 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Quick with the puck, skates it along the neutral zone boards and gets into the zone. He went past probably three potential road blocks there. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 7/31/2022 | 8/1/2022 | 10268 |

Then Gauthier moves to the empty space in the slot and when Benson gets the puck to him, there's no wasted time or movement. One touch snap shot against the grain. Goal | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Switerland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 202 | 7/31/2022 | 8/1/2022 | 10267 |

Aron Kiviharju | Note | Left point, Wood pokes the puck free from him and heads for a breakaway. Kiviharju closes back, gets position, angles Wood out and below the goal line. Excellent recovery play. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Aron Kiviharju | Note | One on one defense, drop step, lifts the stick, spins away with the puck. Great stuff. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Aron Kiviharju | Note | Holds at the point, then releases a low wrist shot that gets through all the traffic, but not past Ratzlaff. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Brayden Yager | Note | Never seems to force the play, but he's always involved. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Brayden Yager | Note | One pp sequence: carries in, passes behind the net to the far corner. Circles back, waits, gets the puck and shoots low far side, kick save. Curls back to the same spot, gets the puck and shows shot but passes far circle for a onetime chance, hits the post. Curls back again. Gets the puck, wrists it high short side off the bar and out of play. What an excellent display of patience, shooting, passing, and awareness. Gorgeous play. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Brayden Yager | Note | I really liked his game a year ago. Now, he's at a whole new level of poise, and intelligent play. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Brayden Yager | Note | Amazing cross crease pass to Cristall, one-timer saved. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Highly active on the PP unit. Passes off, cuts into space, goes to the post. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Looks like an elbow or shoulder issue. Leaves the game. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |

Calum Ritchie | Note | Back on ice, but favoring that arm. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |

Jesse Nurmi | Note | Accelerated into a higher speed, closes the defender to the corner | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |

Kasper Halttunen | Note | Okay speed, above average but not great | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |

Kasper Halttunen | Note | Finallly gets a chance to unleash, and his rocket snapshot is low and dangerous, but stopped. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Mathieu Cataford | Note | Not dynamic on the transition there. More plodding than attacking. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Tuomas Uronen | Note | Harassing with his stick, gets called for tripping. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |

Tuomas Uronen | Note | Shot from the high slot blocked out front. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Tuomas Uronen | Note | Well positioned on defense, intercepts the pass coming through the middle. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Tuomas Uronen | Note | Acelleration looked crisp there | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Took a couple of small crossover steps there, when I think he would have rather seen him dig in and push, but after those first steps he was fast up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Back deep in his own end to retrieve a puck, then it's up and out. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Long shot on net, not much to it. More like he wanted to get a whistle than anything. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Lots of energy on the forecheck. Harassing the puck, taking away lanes. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Man, he wants to score. Just drove straight at the net, but the pass never made it to him. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Speed is excellent or even better. He accelerates on his turns. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | He's an amazing skater. Highly agile. Not an explosive first step, but he is at speed in two or three steps. Dynamite on his edges. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |

Jiri Kulich | Summary | His entire game is built from his feet up. Speed, agility, fantastic spatial awareness. Works hard in all zones and looks like he has a high scoring drive. Once his game develops more over the next couple of years, he could be a very good NHL forward. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Michael Gut | Note | Picks up a loose puck in his own zone, powers the puck through the neutral zone, makes a clean entry across the blue line, then passes off to the right wing. Okay speed, okay hands, but kind of rough on the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Michael Gut | Note | Using his edges well to gain lateral movement on his glide and then to reverse at the crease. He is a good backwards skater. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Michael Gut | Note | Pops up a little upright on his first step. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |

Michael Gut | Note | He is pressuring the German defense, forcing them to collapse to him, and then passing out to better options. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Michael Gut | Note | Puck goes back to the goaltender, and Gut sees the Germans changing. Calls for the puck, but instead of beavertailing, he points to the area of the ice where he wants to the puck to go. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Michael Gut | Summary | Looks a lot more like a quality defensive, possession center than a scorer, but he does have some offensive upside. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Michael Gut | Note | He continues to work hard, but no one is getting the puck to him when he's in the high-danger area. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |

Sebastian Malat | Note | Sees the Germans get the puck, and he's back and in defensive position immediately. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Sebastian Malat | Note | Powerful strides in his legs, but he is a bit wiggly up top. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |

Sebastian Malat | Note | Overextends and gets beat, allows his man around him in the neutral zone, but gets lucky because the play was called offsides. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Sebastian Malat | Note | Again, in the neutral zone, just puts his stick out to try to slow the puck carrier, and again the carrier just goes right on by. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Sebastian Malat | Note | Coming up the right wing with speed, turns the corner on the defender, shovels a backhand shot high short side, shoulder save. Malat showing great speed, there. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Sebastian Malat | Note | Doing some things well, and then other things look clumsy. He's frustrating me. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Sebastian Malat | Summary | Too many mistakes, too much playing at his feet instead of head up, eyes out focus. Has the speed and defensive awareness to be a penalty killer, bottom line forward, but in this game he looked like a guy who would struggle to stay at that level. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Sebastian Malat | Note | Held the puck too long and turned it over under pressure. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |

Fraser Minten | Note | Attentive in his own end, but he's not getting in the mix much. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Fraser Minten | Note | Nice outside-in move with the puck, beats Mateychuk but not the goalie. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Fraser Minten | Summary | Kind of average in the game, nothing bad but nothing special, either. He looks like a player that could break into the NHL as a role player at 21 or 22 if all goes well for him. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |

Josh Filmon | Note | Just not accomplishing much in the game. He gets the puck, he moves the puck, he loses the puck. He's tried a couple of hits that missed. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Josh Filmon | Note | Gets the puck in the high slot area on the powerplay, skates it towards the point, but into more trouble than clear space, turns it over. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Luca Del Bel Belluz | Note | Strides look clunky and wide. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Luca Del Bel Belluz | Note | Long legs, playing mostly stationary and slow right now. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Luca Del Bel Belluz | Note | Having a hard time matching the pace of this game. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Luca Del Bel Belluz | Note | Lost his feet pretty easily there after a shove from Lindgren. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Luca Del Bel Belluz | Summary | Disappointing game. He showed a few moments of potential, but those were often washed out by sort of lackluster play. Spent a lot of time watching. The tools are there if he ever wants to use them, though. Decent skater, decent hands. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Mats Lindgren | Note | Gets a puck behind his net, then uses fast crossover steps to back out and turn up ice with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |

Maveric Lamoureux | Note | Shoves more than hits Verreault, but dumps him off the puck just the same. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Maveric Lamoureux | Note | So tall he plays kind of bent over at the waist. Awkward lateral movement. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Maveric Lamoureux | Note | Good on his feet in general, which is outstanding for someone as tall as he is at his age. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Maveric Lamoureux | Note | Geekie able to turn the corner on him. Lamoureux just kind of laid his stick out there as a form of defense. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Maveric Lamoureux | Note | Physical player, but bumps guys a lot more than he lines up huge hits. Still, at his size, the bumps pack some force. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Maveric Lamoureux | Summary | Hard not to want him to succeed at his size. It will take him a while, but when he puts it all together he could become a nice middle-pair, first pass, stay-at-home defender. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Michael Buchinger | Note | Chasing the puck behind his own net, getting crossed up a bit in coverage. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |

Michael Buchinger | Note | Allows Gaucher to get around him going after a dumped in puck, then ties him up at the boards. Good play. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Nathan Gaucher | Note | Looks like he's roaming the ice trying to find someone to hit. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Nathan Gaucher | Note | Can build up speed, but it takes him a few strides to get that big motor running. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Nathan Gaucher | Note | Chases Donovan behind the net on the penalty kill forecheck, starts to lose him, slashes, slashes again, and gets called for the second one. Now a 5-on-3 as he goes to the box. Not smart, beginning to end. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Nathan Gaucher | Note | Not the best stops and turns. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Nathan Gaucher | Note | Quick hands to convert the feed for a one-touch goal from the edge of crease. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Nathan Gaucher | Note | Out at the low slot looking for another tap-in opportunity. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Nathan Gaucher | Summary | Will need to improve his first few steps and agility, but the power forward moves and strength are there if he can. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Owen Pickering | Note | Excellent positioning neutralizes Seminoff at the doorstep. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |

Owen Pickering | Note | If the puck goes to the opposite corner, he's straight to the front of the net to protect against the back door attack. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Owen Pickering | Note | Reads the incoming pass, steps up, reaches out, and deflects the pass away before it can reach it's target. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |

Owen Pickering | Summary | A lot to like in his game. Skates very well, is a good passer, but plays such a smart game in his own end with quality reads and positioning. A lot of upside potential. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Tristan Luneau | Note | Snaps a quick-release pass from blue line to blue line, right on target. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Tristan Luneau | Note | Backwards, trying to defend a two-on-one, but he's caught in no man's land and is ineffective. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Tristan Luneau | Note | Sees the turnover in his own end and immediately jumps up to attack. He's the right side of a 2-on-1, gets the puck and a clean look and hits the crossbar from the right side dot. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Tristan Luneau | Summary | Luneau showed above average skating and hands, and with his offensive drive, he could become a legit top-four NHL transition defender. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Cameron Lund | Note | Gets the puck left hashmarks, but turns away from the net, then leaves a soft pass easily picked off. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Cameron Lund | Note | Shoving and wrestling after the whistle, gets called for two for roughing. Frustration entering the game for Green Bay, down 5-0 in the second period. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Cole Spicer | Note | Nice bounce pass off the boards to spring an attack into the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |

Cutter Gauthier | Note | Keeps the play alive, drops to Snuggerud. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Cutter Gauthier | Note | Buries Greene with a shoulder to the jaw, and a bit late at that. Five minute major and a game misconduct. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Cutter Gauthier | Summary | Uses his size well, and has power in his feet, which he also uses to generate physical power on the boards. His hit of Greene was high and late and unnecessary, though. He showed good hockey iq otherwise, made some smart plays on and off the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |

Frank Nazar | Note | Beauty short-handed goal. Holds the puck backhand on his left side while curling to the slot to his right, protecting the puck and gaining position inside the defender, draws the puck forehand and flicks it five hole. Smart, fast, handsy. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Frank Nazar | Note | Goes hard into the endboards after flying at the net in a scoring chance footrace. Draws a tripping penalty and goes slowly to the bench. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Frank Nazar | Summary | Has the hands to make things happen and a nose for the net. His skating is very good to excellent, and his offensive hockey sense is keen. He was dangerous in this game, and generated opportunities with his feet. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Hustles up the left boards, slips past the check, then makes a nice find and pass to Leonard cutting to the crease. Excellent assist. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Third in on a rush, takes a nice line as the trailer down the middle, but he boots the back pass. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |

Isaac Howard | Note | Playing left wing on Nazar's line. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Blows past the attempt to stand him up at the blue line, head up at the left-side half boards, then he wires a beautiful pass to the crease to find Leonard for an easy goal. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | First step is easy and impressive. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Not a lot of urgency to get back to his own end, not a ton of energy off the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Closing in on a loose puck just inside the offensive zone, head up, looking for options as he gets to the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | On the powerplay, takes a puck center ice, tries to split two defenders as he enters the offensive zone despite having two much better options on either side of him. Turns it over. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | When he has the puck with time, he is a dangerous playmaker. Otherwise, he is not nearly as effective. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Jayson Shaugabay | Note | Smaller player at 5'10, moves well, engaged. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Jayson Shaugabay | Note | Jumps to a loose puck, skates into space at the left circle, pulls up, passes back to the high slot, but a bit in the attacker's feet. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Jimmy Snuggerud | Note | Turns are okay, but his first step lags a bit. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Jimmy Snuggerud | Note | Just not very fast. His form is okay, but his feet are slow to move through the entire stride and return. Limits his speed and acceleration. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Jimmy Snuggerud | Note | No looks a pass from right circle to left to find a wide-open Duke and an easy goal. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Jimmy Snuggerud | Note | Nice little pass that leads Nazar into a scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Jimmy Snuggerud | Summary | Not the fastest player on the ice, but he made a significant impact at both ends with tenacity and puck movement. He'll bump, he'll grind, and then he'll make a nice read and pass that ends up with the puck in the back of the net. Probably more of a quality middle-six type than top six, but he looks like he has the tools to be an NHLer. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Lane Hutson | Note | Back looks a little hunched over as he glides, but better when he skates. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Lane Hutson | Note | Hustles back for a puck, protects and turns from the forechecker until he finds an long outlet pass. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Lane Hutson | Note | Carries with speed and maneuverability through transition in the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Lane Hutson | Note | Sees the ice well, and makes some creative passes with loft and appropriate weighting. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Lane Hutson | Summary | Transition defender, keeps his head up and seems happiest when the puck is on his stick. Good passer with vision and patience to pick out the right first pass out of his zone when carrying isn't the option. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Logan Cooley | Note | Great middle man on the tic-tac-toe, takes the pass right circle and one-times a pass to Gauthier far post. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Logan Cooley | Note | Everywhere in the offensive zone. Green Bay having a hard getting a stick on him, then a creative backwards pass through his legs to the crease that deserved a better conversion. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Ryan Greene | Note | Takes a great line through the neutral zone, then picks up speed to beat the defender to the corner. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Ryan Greene | Note | Great job covering Cooley, wins the puck, turns up ice and passes to start the breakout, then gets clobbered by Gauthier. That looked like a headshot and a half-tick late. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Ryan Greene | Note | Looking like he's playing at 3/4 speed. I wonder if that Gauthier hit has zapped him a bit. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Ryan Greene | Note | Wrists one top far side from the left circle. Nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Brad Lambert | Note | Gets to the high slot, gets a pass, turns and puts it on net. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Brad Lambert | Note | So quick, acceleration is excellent, speed and agility are top level. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Brad Lambert | Note | Takes a pass driving the right circle, but the defender is on him, so he goes behind the net, using it to rub off Reinbacher, then passes out to the other side - goal. Good play from Lambert. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Brad Lambert | Note | Skating is beautiful and fun to watch. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Brad Lambert | Note | Jumps to a loose puck in the slot, tries to pull it in, toe drag, and the puck rolls off his stick and he turns it over. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Brad Lambert | Note | His game in a snapshot: he's first to a puck in the corner. Tries to change direction back behind the net, loses the puck, watches the Austrian player skate away. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Brad Lambert | Note | Four-on-four, he hits the offensive zone with speed, then tries to take on all four Austrian players instead of looking for anyone else. What was that? | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Brad Lambert | Summary | Maybe the best skater in the draft class. His movement, acceleration, speed are all elite. He has good hands and shot, but there are too many times when he tries to do too much or doesn't try enough to get it back. So much to like, but still a lot of question marks for me. If he can develop into a player who absorbs the game instead of fighting it, he could be a top-line NHL forward. If not, he'll bounce around more, have some flashes, but never meet expectations. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Gets to a loose puck first, absorbs the hit to move the puck up the wall. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Physical, seals off his man well in front of the net. Fights for position. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Joakim Kemell | Note | Jumps a gap to a puck in a flash. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Joakim Kemell | Note | Slap shot from the center point crushes the post. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Joakim Kemell | Note | His puckhandling hard reverse just made me gasp. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Joakim Kemell | Summary | Kemell is all about the shot. He can play hockey, has the footspeed and vision to be a good forward, but his shot could make him special. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Johannes Tschuring | Note | Speed is quality even when he's not full out. Like his stride mechanics. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Juuso Maenpaa | Note | 5'7, 148. I know the league is easier now for small players, but that is small. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Juuso Maenpaa | Note | Stride/mechanics look good. Smooth form. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Luca Auer | Note | Good speed, plays the body, goes to the front of the net. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Luca Auer | Note | Not a lot of quickness/acceleration. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Marco Kasper | Note | Smooth, efficient skater. Long extensions, good edges. Speedy. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Marco Kasper | Note | Such a battler. He'll dig and dig on the wall, hustles all of the time. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Marco Kasper | Note | Holding, maneuvering around the forecheck, trying to pen something up. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Marco Kasper | Note | Sticks with Paivarinta, which is not easy to do. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Marco Kasper | Note | So good in possession. Screens the puck from defenders, handles around them, moves it well, uses the boards. Just a high-quality puck possession player. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Vinzenz Rohrer | Note | Nice shot block. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Vinzenz Rohrer | Note | Another tough shot block. That one hurt. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Vinzenz Rohrer | Note | Acceleration looks very good. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Vinzenz Rohrer | Note | Shows some speed going backwards. That was impressive. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
David Jiricek | Note | Smooth slide to his right while going backwards, easily cuts off an attempt to go around him, | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Note | Gunther tries to dangle and go around, but Jiricek stops him cold. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Note | Steps up at the red line to pick off a long head-man pass. Carries to the blue line at speed, passes live, then goes hard to the net. Great play. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Note | He's an aggressive defender, closing spaces with intent | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Note | When the puck is on his off side, he hustles back to establish defensive position before the play arrives. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Note | Bedard catches Jiricek leaning on the wrong foot, cuts to go around, but Jiricek recovers with a long reach and pokes the puck away. No threat. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Note | Anticipates the opposing players' intentions so well. He's reading minds out there. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Note | Holds until the lane appears, then makes a sharp pass to start the transition up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Note | And there's the knee injury I knew was coming. Stepping up to hit Guhle, leg-on-leg contact, and Jiricek's knee takes the worst of it. Too bad. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Summary | Jiricek is the total NHL defender prospect. Good wheels, ability to move lateral and turn with top opposing forwards. He's strong on the puck and along the walls, and his balance allows him to lean into players to negate their options. He's aggressive to attack the puck when that's an option, but responsible and doesn't give up attacks. Moving up ice, he's patient with the puck and goes hard into the attack. He's going to be an excellent NHL defenseman and likely a cornerstone blueliner. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | End of a long shift in the defensive zone, Kulich gets the puck near his bench and tries to play the puck across the redline by going through his legs backward. Turnover leads to a quick counterattack from Gunther, | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Straightline speed looks above average, good form but not a ton of flash. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | I like his work rate. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Drops down to block a shot, then quickly back to his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Skating is good, especially small-space multidirectional movement, but top speed isn't thrilling. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Does an excellent job in his own end to stick with MacTavish as he has the puck, turns him to the corner and then plasters him into the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | I think his speed will improve to probably a 1.0 to 1.5 level. Good to very good. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
Elias Pettersson (D) | Note | Gets twisted up trying to change directions while in the middle of backwards crossovers. Looked clunky. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Elias Pettersson (D) | Note | Gap closing speed is very good. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Fabian Wagner | Note | Settles just inside the neutral zone to cut off a breakout attempt, intercepts the outlet pass. Well done. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Fabian Wagner | Note | Primary penalty kill center for this Swedish squad. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Filip Bystedt | Note | Long, not super fast, but fluid. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Filip Mesar | Note | Carries the puck with speed into the offensive zone, draws two players, cuts back and passes to the point. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Filip Mesar | Note | Dangerous and elusive with the puck on his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Uses little steps and crossovers, then relies on his edges to gain mobility | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Looks so comfortable on his skates, but rarely pushes hard into a full stride. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Gets a puck high slot with his back to the net after a turnover, curls to his right and exits the turn at the top of the left circle with the puck already loaded for a wrist shot. Fires it on net, handcuffs the goalie, but the save is made. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Hands and feet work so well together. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Finally going hard (backchecking) and his form looks excellent. Smooth, no shoulder swing, nice extensions. Judged his speed requirement well. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | One-times a snap shot on a loose puck. He does not need encouragement to shoot. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Takes the puck off the wall and drives laterally across the front of the net, working through traffic, gets a shot away from the far-side hashmarks. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Wrist shot is his weapon of choice, and it is a rocket. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Hangs out around the top of the left circle on the powerplay, waiting to pounce. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Not working a lot off the puck, but he's finding the puck on his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Summary | Lekkerimaki is a shoot-first forward who looks like he wants nothing more in life than to put the puck in the net. His wrist shot is dangerous, with a fast release and a lot of heat behind it. Several times his shot bothered the goaltender (who played an excellent game). I don't recall a single shot of Lekkerimaki's that did not result in an awkward rebound as Elias fought them off. He has good vision, but he is not a playmaking forward at this point. Skating is interesting. He has excellent dimensional movement due to his edgework, but he doesn't show exceptional speed or acceleration. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Up the right side with the puck, hard stop, head up, fires a long diagonal pass to the left side of the blue line for a solid one-timer chance. Good find. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Flips a long wrister from just inside the blue line near the center point, trying to give his man at the side of the crease a deflection opportunity. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Blocks a shot, collects the puck from his feet, tries to move it out of his zone, but Ostlund takes the puck away. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Not a dynamic skater, but he gets around the ice well. He's just a big, strong forward with soft hands and an imposing pro power forward style. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Right point on the powerplay, just fired a bombing one-timer. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Uses his body well for position superiority. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Not putting a lot of effort into defense. He's there, and he's active, but I'd like to see him really working instead of monitoring. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Draws a penalty in the corner just because Havelid had to grab him to try to keep him from muscling his way out with the puck and into a dangerous scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Summary | In a game where the Slovakian jerseys (red numbers on blue field) made it incredibly difficult to identify players, Slafkovsky was a clear stand out. His size, his style, his dominance on the puck all made it fairly obvious who he was on the ice. This game was nine months old, and Slafkovsky has grown into his game even more in the meantime, but he's a clear power forward NHL talent. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Mattias Havelid | Note | Strong push with his left skate moves him laterally to his right for position off the draw. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Mattias Havelid | Note | Slapshot has a big, sweeping follow through, but that one wasn't particularly dangerous. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Mattias Havelid | Note | Very good skater. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Mattias Havelid | Note | Bad pass out of his corner, put it into the feet of the forward and it skitters to a Slovak player in the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Mattias Havelid | Note | Wrist shot center point top left corner. Caught the goaltender leaning the wrong way trying to see through traffic. Nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Ondrej Molnar | Note | Pulls the Swedish breakout pass down with his stick to intercept, back pass to a charging Dvorsky. Great play by Molnar. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Simon Nemec | Note | Nemec with a beauty long wrist shot through a screen to put his team up in the 3rd. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Braeden MacPhee | Note | Lovely shot off a quick feed, one touch bar down over the shoulder. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
James Swan | Note | Small, skates with feet wide apart, but looks like he gets good extensions. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
James Swan | Note | Second chance for a wrist shot from the hash marks, both sent far side wide by a good bit. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
James Swan | Note | Works hard to create an odd-man rush, follows Orr deep, gets a return pass, puts it over the net. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
James Swan | Summary | Swan is a scrappy little player who plays hard but he needs to work on his skating and shot. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Tries a sharp cross-crease pass, doesn't get through, then he gets the loose puck and snaps a shot on net. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Right side on the powerplay, holds and walks in toward the net until he can draw the defender to him, then passes around him to the low post. Created that chance with patience. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | His first couple of steps lack strong push, and have more of a high kick to finish. But after those steps he gets into good stride posture and looks better. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Lifts a stick to allow the pass to go through, then collects it on the other side. Smart play. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Goes to the crease for the deflection attempt, saved low. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Giving out instructions on the offensive zone faceoff setup. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Excellent sequence. Gets back to his defensive zone, positions perfectly to create a turnover by stepping into the only lane where a pass could be possible, then shows off the sick hands in tight to pull the puck in, around the opponent, then a quick flick pass to start the attack. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Has the puck in deep, sees his team changing, so he turns to the corner boards, absorbs the pin and holds the puck until his team finishes it's line change. Another smart play. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Beavertails a lot, calling for the puck, but almost always he is the best option at that time. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Finishes the tic-tac-toe play with a beauty one-touch off the feed from Desnoyers. Was open hips for the pass, and soft hands to collect and shoot. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | On the ice for a defensive zone draw late, protecting a one-goal lead. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Patient pass out of his end, springs a breakaway for an empty net goal. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Kian Bell | Note | Pushes up instead of forward with his first steps. Needs to deepen those knee bends. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Mechanics look sound, shows nice speed getting back for a loose puck. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Puckhandling is calm, and he has a nice, smooth release on his passes. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Small space, four-way movement is very good to excellent. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Tall, sturdy frame. He's going to be beastly when he gets stronger. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Plants the German puck carrier just inside the neutral zone. Solid, punishing open-ice hit. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Joins the rush, takes a pass from Ostlund, then fires a hard snap shot low that hits the post. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Shoots the puck with confidence and authority and his wrist shot is difficult to handle. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Calle Odelius | Summary | Solid player from the back end, who can join the rush and make plays. Needs to polish his game, but the core materials are there for an NHL defender, likely middle pair with upside. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Elias Salomonsson | Note | Nice hip check. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Elias Salomonsson | Note | Goes belly down to try to do, what? There was no possible way for that move to do any good whatsoever. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Elias Salomonsson | Note | On the power play, takes the puck from behind his own net, and with all five back, he leads the breakout carrying the puck into the neutral zone. Then, he passes back straight to Roman Kechter, who skates in and buries the clean shorthanded breakaway goal. Not a smart play from Salomonsson. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Elias Salomonsson | Note | Another ill-advised play that leads to a turnover. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Filip Bystedt | Note | Tall, rangy player, but good mobility. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Filip Bystedt | Note | Holds the defender off on the turn with his length, but the turn was slow and he had more duress than necessary because of it. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Filip Bystedt | Note | Looks coltish and awkward at times. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Filip Bystedt | Note | Carries through the neutral zone, then tries to go in alone though the slot instead of looking to his wings for help, and he gets closed off and turns it over. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | He is constantly involved in the play at the offensive end. Not focusing on him, but he keeps making plays. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Drives the net, pulls across, shoots far side, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Liam Ohgren | Note | Sneaky wrist shot beats the German tender five hole from the right circle. The netminder probably should have had that one, but it was a good shot nonetheless. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Liam Ohgren | Note | Skates the puck up the left wing boards, tries to pull up, loses the puck. Later in the same shift, skates the puck up the left wing again, then passes off to a German defender. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Liam Ohgren | Note | Recipient of an excellent pass out of the corner, and he's all alone at the crease for an easy tap-in goal. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Liam Ohgren | Note | Out on the penalty kill protecting a one-goal lead late in the third. Just made a diving play to clear the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Liam Ohgren | Note | Second powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Liam Ohgren | Note | Puck in his skates, pirouettes to find it, keeping momentum, and regains control on the move. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Matthias Pischoff | Note | His lateral movement is amazing. Super quick to his right, while facing up to the puck. Puts this movement to excellent use on the penalty kill. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Matthias Pischoff | Note | Good hit into the halfboards. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Matthias Pischoff | Note | Gets past Pahlsson at the blue line, goes to the slot, and when Hordler gets him the puck, he goes forehand-backhand, goal. Nice deke and shot. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Matthias Pischoff | Note | Finds some open space at the right dot, gets the pass out of the corner, steps toward the slot then wrists one bar down. Beauty over the goalie's left shoulder. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Matthias Pischoff | Note | His hips are so fluid, he creates excellent backwards and lateral pivots and quickness. His straightforward acceleration could use some work, though. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Matthias Pischoff | Summary | The first thing that stood out to me was that remarkable lateral movement and constant activity off the puck. He can be a good penalty killer at any level with that movement and his active stick and willingness to block shots. Offensively, he had two nice goals, showing off a good, quick release. He'll need to get into the middle more, but if he does, he could be a sleeper. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Noah Ostlund | Note | Good, sharp turns, acceleration above average, nice lateral work. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Noah Ostlund | Note | Solid slapper one time from the right dot. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Noah Ostlund | Note | Running the powerplay from the right circle, moving the puck quickly, sends an excellent pass to the far circle for a one-timer goal by Lekkerimaki. Beauty. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Noah Ostlund | Note | Gets good power on his wrist shot. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Noah Ostlund | Note | Looks off the defender then passes the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Noah Ostlund | Note | Possession game is quality, able to handle through traffic, uses his feet to get separation, and wins races to loose pucks. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Noah Ostlund | Note | Excellent read to intercept at the blue line, drives up, finds Joel Jonsson with a clever and deft pass to create a chance. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |

Noah Ostlund | Summary | Drove play throughout the game, making good passes with deception and vision, winning puck races, disrupting breakouts and attacks. Showed a good shot and high level of competitiveness. I liked him a lot in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Roman Kechter | Note | Wearing the "C" for the German squad. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Roman Kechter | Note | With the puck in his own corner, easily evades the forechecker by spinning away and then moving the puck up to the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Roman Kechter | Note | Drops a heavy hit in the offensive zone. Ooof. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Roman Kechter | Note | Collects the awful Salomonsson back pass, clean breakaway, pops the bottle shorthanded. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Roman Kechter | Note | You can tell by his composure, especially with the puck, why he is the Captain. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Roman Kechter | Summary | Kechter is calm, poised and in control when he is on the ice. Smarter than he is skilled, probably, but he plays an honest game with no glaring weakness, but no standout electrifying skill, either. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Carter Mazur | Note | Mazur can fly. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Carter Mazur | Note | He is everywhere, crashing and banging, using his speed to close gaps to the puck carriers. Fun to watch. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Carter Mazur | Note | Thumping hit, but a half-tick too late for IIHF play, and he's called for interference. Nice physical play, though. Legal in the NHL. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Carter Mazur | Note | Powerplay sequence he just showeda hard wrist shot, a driving slapper, and good net front presence. Not a highly accurate shot, but hard, hard, hard. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Carter Mazur | Summary | Speeding, physical best with some skill. Probably not a scoring forward at the NHL level, but certainly has the style of play to get him there in a bottom six capacity. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Dominic James | Note | Changes gears, drives the net, lots of power in his stride. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Filip Mesar | Note | Easy mobility, some excellent speed up the right side. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Filip Mesar | Note | Second powerplay unit | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Filip Mesar | Note | Chokes way up on his stick to get a clean one-timer away on a pass that was a bit too far forward. Great adjustment and then better weight transfer. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Filip Mesar | Note | Knows how to slide through lanes to get to the space he wants. Alters his speed as needed, using his feet to benefit the play. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Filip Mesar | Note | Big effort on the backcheck. Really battling out there trying to claw the team back into the game. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Filip Mesar | Summary | Fast, agile, competitive at both ends, and makes good decisions with and without the puck. He's a top-quality player. Would like to see him convert chances a little more, but he looks like a player who will continue to work hard in improve | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Second powerplay unit | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | So much height and strength, and to move that well, it’s a dangerous combination. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Soft hands in traffic. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Accelerates better than you'd expect for someone that big, and it’s disarming for defenders. It's like a mountain leaps at you. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | So manueverable, slides into the slot, backhands a good shot of the short-side post against the grain. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Big wrist shot from the high slot off the draw. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Extremely difficult to move off the puck. His feet allow him to reposition himself between the puck and the defender, his hands keep the puck out of reach, and his size absorbs physical pressure. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Sweet no-look pass to Mesar to set up a scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Summary | There is a reason that Slafkovsky is a top prospect in the draft. He's big, agile, balanced, coordinates his feet and hands into effective play generation, and he has a big shot that he uses well. Future NHLer, no question. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Maxim Strbak | Note | Looks stable going backwards, but uses his crossovers more than I'd like. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Maxim Strbak | Note | Facing the boards behind his goal, tries a quick backhand pass to the slot, but was too clever by a lot. Why? Sequence that ensues ends with his goaltender fishing the puck out of his net. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Maxim Strbak | Note | Gets caught up ice, and can't keep up with Berard going the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Maxim Strbak | Note | Low, hard shot from the point, deflected in front, almost gets through. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Simon Nemec | Note | Powerplay anchor | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Simon Nemec | Note | Carries through the middle, speed and determination | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Simon Nemec | Note | Dogged on the puck, battles it up the boards, and just made a clean steal from the US forward. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Simon Nemec | Note | Sidesteps most of the Slaggert charge, but gets his foot clipped and draws a tripping penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Simon Nemec | Note | Pure skater, excellent mechanics straight line, brilliant edges, effortless. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Simon Nemec | Note | Pass into his skates? No big deal. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Simon Nemec | Note | Top penalty kill unit, playing a lot of minutes so far, in all situations. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Simon Nemec | Note | Takes a hard slapshot right into his midsection and crumples to the ice. Took a couple of shifts, but he's back on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Simon Nemec | Note | Well done to use the back boards for a bounce pass to get around the forechecker. Nice play. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Simon Nemec | Summary | The best defender in his draft class, by far. Smart with the puck and without it, keeps his positioning in his own end against even the highly skilled and super fast US forwards, and creates advantages with ease. Moves the puck intelligently, gets up ice into to the rush, even getting in on the forecheck if he's up ice. Great player, future NHL top pair defender. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Tanner Dickinson | Note | Turns are wide, and he just got burned by a quicker, tighter turn radius of Nemec, who turned inside and gained a step. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Tanner Dickinson | Note | Creates good acceleration with a strong first push. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Tanner Dickinson | Note | Gets a turnover left circle, turns (again, too wide and slow) then lets go with a hard wrist shot, but the goalie was well-positioned by the time the shot was released. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Bedard's release is just sick. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Note | Short, stocky, looks balanced on his skates. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Note | Playing right wing on the second powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Note | Backchecking, but not going hard, and the Regina forward blows past him to the net for a scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Note | Changes direction well. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Note | Gets the puck behind his own net, but rushes the clearance attempt and sends it straight to the Regina defender at the point. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Note | Exiting his zone, the pass comes a bit behind him, and he turns back to receive it. I cringed, but he escaped harm. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Note | Keeps his stick on the ice, but with the puck, his arms look stiff. Hands not very active on his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Note | Chases down a puck, collects in the offensive zone right circle, pulls up, passes to the trailer, but way too hard and the puck clangs off the attackers stick. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Note | Solid hit on the boards on the forecheck. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Summary | Plays a tough game with good skating and energy. Did not generate a lot of offense in this game, and held his stick tight in his hands. He made some good passes, but in general put too much on them and was too deliberate in finding them. Will need to soften up his offensive game a good bit over the next year. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Easton Armstrong | Note | Tries a little saucer/chip pass to Bedard, but leads him just a bit too close to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Matteo Michels | Note | Shows some excellent speed to get to a loose puck. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Matteo Michels | Note | Working hard on defense down low. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Matteo Michels | Note | Controls the puck against the boards, holding off two Calgary players until help comes and he can get the puck out of the scrum to his teammate. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Matteo Michels | Note | Snap shot low through feet from the high slot. Caused problems because the shot went through a lot of trees to get on goal. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Matteo Michels | Summary | His game was most evident in the defensive end, playing hard down low. In the offensive end, he had a couple of good moments and fought hard in puck battles. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Maxim Muranov | Note | Full power strides chasing an icing. Maybe a bit too much in his shoulders, but got good speed and power through his legs. Good lower-body mechanics. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Maxim Muranov | Note | Big, good skater, looks like he wants to push offense. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |

Maxim Muranov | Note | Rips a wrist shot from the outside left circle, top far corner, goal. The goalie should have had that, but it was a great shot. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Maxim Muranov | Note | Went hard on a long run to the net, then he was struggling to get back, trying hard but not getting much from his legs. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Maxim Muranov | Note | Tried a few times to power around Svozil, but hasn't been able to turn the corner on him. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Maxim Muranov | Summary | Power forward type, goes strong with the puck to the net, constantly driving the puck up ice. Has a strong wrist shot, but did not seem overly adept at creating the space he needs to get good looks on net. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Oliver Tulk | Note | Good positioning backing out of the forecheck, intercepts. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Oliver Tulk | Note | Drops his stick, pivots to pick it up, takes a hit, absorbs the force and uses it to get upright and repositioned, then he's back into the play. That was a great show of balance. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Oliver Tulk | Note | Not afraid to get bruised up along the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |

Raiden Zacharias | Note | Acceleration is good, speed is good, but not great yet. Looks like it will improve, though. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Raiden Zacharias | Note | Looks so small out there, especially since he ducks down a bit as he plays. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Raiden Zacharias | Note | A little uncertain in the defensive zone, but considering this is his third WHL game, it's not too surprising or troubling. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Ryker Evans | Note | Evans is incredibly smooth, both on his feet and with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Sean Tschigerl | Note | Decent speed, but gliding back to the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |

Sean Tschigerl | Note | Carries the puck into the neutral zone, but loses it off his stick straight to the Regina backchecker. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Sean Tschigerl | Note | Works hard going to the offensive zone. Much harder than going back to the defensive zone, for sure. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Sean Tschigerl | Note | Top powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Sean Tschigerl | Note | Just absent in the defensive zone. He's wandering, drifts out beyond the blue line looking for a release pass, meanwhile his team is outnumbered down low. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Sean Tschigerl | Summary | There are some great aspects to his game, in particular his offensive play off the left side. Good shot, high level of scoring drive, good work with his linemates. However, at the other end, his work rate and interest level dropped considerably. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Spencer Tye | Note | So small, he looks like a fourteen-year-old out there. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Spencer Tye | Note | Playing bumper on PP2. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |

Tanner Howe | Note | Digging in and battling on the boards, fends off Fiddler-Schultz and wins the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Tanner Howe | Note | Intercepts, dangles, but his stick gets lifted right at the beginning of his shooting action. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Tanner Howe | Note | Glued to Bedard's left wing, even strength, powerplay, penalty killing. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Tanner Howe | Note | Good penalty killing shot block, out at the top, tracking, goes down to block the shot attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Tanner Howe | Note | Honest game in his own end, attentive, active, not hurried when he gets a puck. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Tanner Howe | Note | Excellent pass cross ice out to the far point. Got it through traffic, right on the tape, easy to catch. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Tanner Howe | Note | Another good pass, this one a little two-foot backhand to catch Svozil at full speed up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Tanner Howe | Summary | Interesting player with top offensive instincts and very good hands. He showed nice agility and quickness on his feet, able to change speeds to take advantage of spaces. I was impressed with his defensive-zone play and willingness to block shots, and his patience when he got the puck. This was the third of three straight games for Regina, so I want to watch him more to see him when he is bit fresher. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Brad Gardiner | Note | Two sequences early in the game, and he's gone down to the ice on both. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Brad Gardiner | Note | Highly active player. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Brady Stonehouse | Note | Drives McTavish into the Ottawa goaltender. What was he doing? | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Brady Stonehouse | Note | Next sequence, and he gets called for a clear crosschecking in the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |

Patrick Thomas | Note | Looks like he has good speed, keeping pace on the backcheck without a ton expended energy. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Patrick Thomas | Note | Killing penalties, much more stationary than I'd like to see. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Patrick Thomas | Note | Lots of churn in his acceleration, getting so little forward movement from so many steps. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Patrick Thomas | Note | Plays almost entirely upright, okay laterally manueverability with his little cross-over steps, but nothing straight-ahead unless he has a long run. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Ryan Winterton | Note | Sharp passer, strong release gets the puck away in a hurry. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Ryan Winterton | Note | Carrying, muscles through two defenders, then slips a pass left to McTavish to set up a good scoring chance. Vision, good passing. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Ryan Winterton | Note | Does well to retreat and cover defensively on the powerplay, steals a puck, and leads quickly back into the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |

Vinzenz Rohrer | Note | North-south player who looks at his best in front of or at the side of the goal. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Long wrist shot saved, but more of an attempt to get the puck into play at the net than a true scoring attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Wouldn't mind seeing him go a little harder on the backcheck, but he's not lazing back, either. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Again, a long, sweeping wrist shot low, again looking more like an set up play than a true attempt to score. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Good one-touch pass to Tullio in the slot, but Tullio's one-timer hits a skate and goes wide. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Gage Heyes | Note | Solid hit that knocked Buckley off of the puck and off of his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |

Jordyn Ertel | Note | Like his stride and overall skating ability. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Jordyn Ertel | Summary | Not getting a ton of ice time, but he looks good when he does. He hits a bit, goes to the net, works hard in the corners. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Luca Marrelli | Note | Right-handed defender, uses his edges well to keep balanced and stable while skating backward, pivots are clean and smooth. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Luca Marrelli | Note | 6'1, 184, and just a couple of months past his sixteenth birthday. He's a 2024 draft-eligible. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Luca Marrelli | Note | Second-unit powerplay, scuffed a pass but recovered well and took the puck back from Edmunds. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |

Luca Marrelli | Note | Keeps his gaps with a stick well out in front, keeps his positional responsibility and is obviously communicating with his teammates. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Luca Marrelli | Note | Maybe a bit off his line against the attacker, but he stays composed, stick on puck, breaks up the play at the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Luca Marrelli | Note | Offensive zone draw left circle and Marrelli is lined up on the left point. He plays there on the powerplay, as well, taking advantage of his right-handed shot. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Luca Marrelli | Note | Gets out on the rush, good chance to see him skate full out. Long, powerful strides. When this kid is 18 he's going to be a beast. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Luca Marrelli | Note | Turns his hips on the glide to open up for a shot attempt if the puck comes. When it does, he holds to get past a long-reaching stick, and puts a wrist shot short side, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Luca Marrelli | Summary | My first close viewing of Marrelli, and I was impressed. Composed, very fluid movement, offensive minded but defensively responsible. How good can this kid become? Very good, I think. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Luke Torrance | Note | Carries through the neutral zone, but his attack lane was cut off and he turned the puck over as he ran out of room. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |

Matthew Buckley | Note | A bit above average speed. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Matthew Soto | Note | A little hunched over as he skates, but he's got good mobility. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Matthew Soto | Note | Feet stay out wide when he tries to power up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Matthew Soto | Note | Can't keep his edge on a hard forechecking turn, and he goes sprawling. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Matthew Soto | Note | Footrace with Buckley, a little better, but Buckley had the puck. Neither are burners. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Paul Ludwinski | Note | Nice hand-eye to bat a puck down mid-stride and then control it while moving into the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |

Paul Ludwinski | Note | Relentless, gets a steal, turns and shoots low far side, but a good kick save keeps the puck out of the net. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Paul Ludwinski | Note | Moves the puck well, but he needs to work on his shot selection, I think. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Paul Ludwinski | Note | Solid shoulder check. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Paul Ludwinski | Summary | Maybe one of the most entertaining players on the ice. He is constantly on the move, all hustle and quickness, and shows a lot of excellent hockey sense. The key lacking part of his game right now is a dangerous shot, but he has the tools to get there. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Jetting up the left wing, his stride and mechanics are so good. Strong, low, powerful. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Gets a puck while under pressure, but easily pulls it around and passes off to the wide open teammate. Processes the play so fast. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |

Shane Wright | Note | Not a hugely physical player, but he'll bump and lean on players. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Glides out of the corner with the puck, drawing the defender with him out to the halfboards, then a sharp stop and backhand pass to the dot. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Rips a wrist shot just wide. He gets so much heat on his wrist shot. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Looks like a player trying to play across all two hundred feet of the ice instead of flashing to the net all of the time. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Drives the right dot, then puts a shot pass to the slot that generated an excellent and dangerous chance for his teammate in front. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Simply crushing on faceoffs. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Ridiculous! Backwards, between-his-legs, no-look, below-the-net bank shot goal. That was insane. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | It's rare to see him run out of options with the puck. He always seems able to find an open lane, create a space to make a pass. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | When he is below the goal line, supporting the puck, he seems to have any alternative outcome mapped and loaded. He can move the puck almost immediately when it comes to him. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | One of my favorite aspects of Wright's game is his constant support of the play. Always there, always supporting the puck at both ends of the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Multiple changes of speed when necessary. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |

Shane Wright | Summary | What more is there to say about Shane Wright? If he does not go first overall in the 2022 draft, there will be some incredibly unhappy fans in the near future calling for their GMs head. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Alex Assadourian | Note | Small, with good skating ability and a lot of energy. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Alex Assadourian | Note | Highly active player, but he coasted there while an opponent in the slot needed coverage. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Brett Harrison | Note | Moving up ice expecting the puck to be carried out of the zone, but he wasn't really supporting the play at all. Forechecker stops the progress of the puckcarrier, and Harrison just kept skating despite being maybe ten feet from the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Brett Harrison | Note | Misses on a four-foot pass and puts the puck into his teammate's skates. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Brett Harrison | Note | Gets a pass at the right hashmarks and snaps a wrist shot far side and in. Nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Easy strides give him very good speed. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Digs in on his edges to shift a bit to his right and get into a better space in the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Does well to tie up Degrazia's stick in the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Gets a partial two-on-one, takes a hard wrist shot on the fly, but the goaltender was able to fight it off. Hard shot that was difficult to handle. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Good acceleration | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Patient with the puck when he needs to be in order to draw defenders to him. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Excellent balance and agility. Smooth on his feet and can absorb contact and retain balance. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Chokes way up on his stick so he can take in the pass coming directly to him and immediately move the puck out to his left. Deft hands, smart play. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Playing the bumper on the top powerplay unit, but the Generals are keeping the puck on the perimeter for the most part. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Summary | Has all of the tools and the work rate to be a top-six NHL forward at the least. His skating and balance may not be elite level, but it is certainly very good and likely to get better. He showed great hockey intelligence, a willingness to get to the dirty areas of the ice, and a high scoring drive. He is a top prospect. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
David Goyette | Note | Carries in, pulls up, passes down the blue line, intercepted. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
David Goyette | Note | On the powerplay rush with Stillman, carries, pulls up at the blue line, waits, then passes to an opponent. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
David Goyette | Note | Left side of a two-on-one, takes the saucer pass from Stillman and goes short-side wrist shot, goal. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Evan Konyen | Note | Excellent diagonal pass to the far side to find the driving player, who then wasn't able to convert. Too bad. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Evan Konyen | Note | Nice lead pass to give a clean offensive zone entry. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Evan Konyen | Note | He wants the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Kocha Delic | Note | Uses lots of little crossover steps and chopping half-strides as he moves up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Kocha Delic | Note | Good neutral zone work to steal a puck and get into the offensive zone. Maybe his best off-the-puck play in the game. The rest of the time he has been wandering a bit and inefficient. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Matthew Buckley | Note | Pass out to his own blue line too soft and was easily picked off. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Matthew Buckley | Note | Second-unit powerplay minutes. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Ty Tullio | Note | His first step is almost as good as his excellent vision and hockey sense. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Ty Tullio | Note | Second time he's taken a hard hit in order to set up offense, and this one earns him a bruised assist. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Ty Tullio | Note | Hits a rut and goes to his knees, maintains puck control, and shovels a backhanded pass to his teammate at the point. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Ty Tullio | Note | Steps into a slap shot from the high slot and crushes the post. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Danila Yurov | Note | Big. Absorbs hits well. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Danila Yurov | Note | Follows Chibrikov in, and when the rebound gets kicked out to the left dot, Yurov is there and one-times it near post and in. Hit the defender's skate, but well-timed and aggressive offensive play. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Danila Yurov | Note | Extended time when he was matched up against Henry for Switzerland. Yurov was bigger, faster, stronger. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Danila Yurov | Note | Makes good choices in the offensive zone, safe, short passes to maintain possession and apply continuous pressure on the defenders. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Danila Yurov | Note | Willing to play right at the crease, cruising the low slot area, digging in and battling at the front of the net. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Danila Yurov | Note | Accelerates to a loose puck, then backhands across the top of the crease. Should have resulted in a goal. Excellent play from Yurov. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Joel Henry | Note | Good speed (1.0 to 1.5) with some agility and quickness on display. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Joel Henry | Note | Nice read to step up and intercept a lazy pass along the offensive-zone blue line. Can't make much of it, though, as the puck rolls off his stick in the high slot. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Joel Henry | Note | Hard wrist shot from the left circle goes off the crossbar. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Lian Bichsel | Note | Excellent size. Looks so big on the ice and uses every bit of his frame to lean on and overpower opponents. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Lian Bichsel | Note | Turns back under forecheck pressure, cuts and turns, can't match the speed of the forechecker so he uses his body to protect the puck until help arrives. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Lian Bichsel | Note | Lacks straightline speed, but his first couple of steps are very good for the big man and he's agile on his skates. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Lian Bichsel | Note | After the whistle, give Michkov a chop to the back of the knee that the refs missed. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Lian Bichsel | Note | Solid hit puts the Russian forward into the bench. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |

Lian Bichsel | Note | Good example of how he uses his size: with the puck going into the defensive zone corner and his teammate about to the be the first player to it, Bichsel looks back over his shoulder, sees the forechecker closing, then alters his line and pace to set up a moving screen and allow his teammate more time to gather the puck and ready a breakout. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Keeps his feet firm and stable beneath his shoulders on the glide. Balanced and loaded. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Lowers his shoulder, power turn to the net, loses the handle. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Nifty little kick fake to freeze the defender, cuts around, puts a wrist shot on net. Had good speed with the puck through the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Chibrikov wants to attack. Not helping a lot to get the puck out of his zone, but he's ready to launch if it does. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Liking his quickness. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Hard wrist shot from a sharp angle. Saved, but it was a good choice and created possibilities. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Killing penalties, using his acceleration to close gaps out to the point. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Nice hands to collect a bouncing puck and get it quickly on net. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Egor Goriunov | Note | Tall, nimble, quick. Hyperactive feet. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Egor Goriunov | Note | Carrying the puck, shields and takes a bump from a forechecker, and then turns the contact into a spin pass up ice to keep the puck moving. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Egor Goriunov | Note | Stationary on defense there. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Egor Goriunov | Note | Carrying out of his end, sees his lane cut off, so he curls back and resets to his defenseman. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Egor Goriunov | Note | Chooses not to take a clean shot in favor of a tap pass to the slot where his teammate was well covered. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Egor Goriunov | Note | Another defensive zone shift where he essentially maintains a spot near the right side hash marks and watches the play around him. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Egor Goriunov | Note | Linear player. Not a lot of deception in his game. Looks like he'll try to beat you with his length and his determination, but not a lot else. Good hands, good maneuverability though. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Egor Goriunov | Summary | An interesting player, mostly because of his length and agility. Showed good hands at times, and protected the puck well, but there simply wasn’t much creativity to his game. Got knocked off the puck a few times, but showed good balance. His play in the defensive zone was clearly lacking and disappointing. I kept wanting to see him try to drive play, but he never did in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Ethan Gauthier | Note | Down low near the top of the crease, slams home a nice feed from the low right circle. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Ethan Gauthier | Note | Constantly in the danger area, not afraid to mix it up at the net or on the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Ethan Gauthier | Note | Tries to guide a wrist shot top corner, but misses high. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Ethan Gauthier | Summary | Always around the slot, goes hard to the net and is willing to camp out there. Good hands down low, and could make a living by banging home rebounds and backdoor passes. Would like to see more of his shooting from range before making a determination on his shooting ability. Good skater, nothing exceptional, but again, plays down low so much that his skating isn’t really an issue either way. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Hugo Primeau | Note | Strong on his edges, gives him power in turns and good balance on faceoffs. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Hugo Primeau | Note | Pushes hard laterally to accelerate away from the net and into some open space at the hash marks. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Hugo Primeau | Note | Doesn't need a lot of effort to keep pace with the transition. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Hugo Primeau | Note | Drives the right side, wrist shot top left, but the goalie gets just enough of it. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Hugo Primeau | Note | Good feeder pass to the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Hugo Primeau | Summary | Doesn’t play like a 5’8 Center. Strong on his skates, digs in on his edges to drive strength and balance. Good skater but doesn’t stand out as a speedster. Showed some offensive creative on a couple of plays, but generally did not accomplish much in the game. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joey Vetrano | Note | Keeps trying to chop the puck away while in his own zone, but he's a half-second too late each time, and the puck is moved before he can engage. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joey Vetrano | Note | Killing penalties, playing on the powerplay, getting all-situation minutes. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joey Vetrano | Note | Nice backhand, backwards pass cross crease. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joey Vetrano | Note | Goes back hard on the back check, but he didn’t have enough left to prevent the three-on-two attack against. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joey Vetrano | Note | Like his stride and speed. Very good o the move. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joey Vetrano | Summary | All-around type of player who has decent skating ability, a touch of offensive creativity, and is always around the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Forces a wrist shot at the defender's feet, trying to get the puck through, but no doing. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Center point, managing the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Hard one-time snap shot, kept it low, but saved. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Moves the puck well, but sometimes he just passes into an opponent's stick. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Definitely glides a lot more than he skates. Has good speed, though. Just moves with a near nonchalance that looks both capable and disinterested, but he's active. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Turns away from a slash and gains position, walks into space at the high slot, wrist shot saved. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Good pass through traffic. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Wrist shot looks just like his passes. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Shows slap shot from the center point, but I don't think anyone believed it was coming. It wasn't, and Roy passes off to his left. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | The half slap one timer from the right dot looks like his most dangerous shot | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Two on one, he was off the puck and did well to measure his pace and keep himself in a good spot relationally to the puck carrier. Give and go, his pass popped up and his teammate batted it into the net. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Virtually no physicality in his game. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Summary | The high points of his game are his patient vision and passing ability. He'll hold the puck until the good option appears, then move the puck accordingly. Unfortunately, if the option doesn't appear, he tends to force a play and often turned the puck over because of it. Did not show much of a shot other than the one-time snap shot which is a weapon. Lackluster in his own end. He will need to amp up his physical play and be willing to get his jersey dirty as he moves up levels. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Justin Larose | Note | Centering the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Justin Larose | Note | Crashes the net, puts a rebound off the post. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Justin Larose | Note | Tries to chop a puck away from Joshua Roy, and in doing so gives up position. Roy turns him and goes to the slot for a clean look on goal. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Justin Larose | Summary | Played a hard game, constantly engaged, and looked mostly like a player who has been in the league for a while rather than a 16yo rookie. Took on bigger players in the defensive zone and held his own. Interesting player to keep an eye on for development, especially in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Raphael Blouin | Note | Keeps his stick down and active on defense. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Raphael Blouin | Note | Nice drop step to gain inside position at the opposing crease. Again, has his stick down and ready. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Zachary Lessard | Note | Penalty killing, hops to a loose puck and clears. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Zachary Lessard | Note | Quick stick, clears the puck again. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Zachary Lessard | Note | Blocks a slap shot. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Zachary Lessard | Note | Pins his man to the boards with some force. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Zachary Lessard | Note | Good crisp pass to the far blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Zachary Lessard | Summary | I liked him as a young defenseman who is obviously still adjusting to the pace in the Q. Plays a quick game, with a good jump in acceleration and lateral movement which allows him to be the first player to the loose pucks, and then his quick hands get the puck up and out of his zone in a hurry. Quality passing on the breakout. Positionally good, got pushed around a bit but fought to regain inside position and used his feet to recover when necessary. Had he been born a week or so later he would be a 2023 draft eligible. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Calem Mangone | Note | He lives in the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Calem Mangone | Note | Converts a puck scramble to a pass for a good chance. Again, from the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Calem Mangone | Note | Excellent look and the spinning backhand to find the only player on the ice with a clean look at net. Brilliant assist, that. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Calem Mangone | Note | Outworks and gets under the defender in the board battle, comes away with the puck, and looks like he has only scoring on his mind. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Calem Mangone | Note | Strong wrist shot from the left point (yeah, he's all over the place now) almost beats the goaltender. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Calem Mangone | Note | Intercepts just inside his own blue line, generates a clean zone entry the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Calem Mangone | Note | Puckhandling, then flips a little backhand sauce. Smooth and deceptive passer with excellent vision. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ethan Martin | Note | Curls to the slot without the puck, pass comes in, one-touch flick into the net for his first OHL goal. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ethan Martin | Note | Tall, good frame. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ethan Martin | Note | Big strides, quality on his pivots. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ethan Martin | Note | Put a little too much on that lead pass, and the puck goes down toward the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ethan Martin | Note | Opens his hips to receive the pass, then swivels back to attack skating. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Matyas Sapovaliv | Note | Top powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Matyas Sapovaliv | Note | Centering, and playing decent positionally in the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Matyas Sapovaliv | Note | Penalty kill time, too. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Matyas Sapovaliv | Note | Drives left to right below the goal line, steps out at the crease, hits the crossbar. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Matyas Sapovaliv | Note | Sneaky wrist shot low. Goalie's pad stops it, but that jumped off of Sapovaliv's stick. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Matyas Sapovaliv | Note | Super cutback with the puck. Left a spray of snow and the defender behind. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Matyas Sapovaliv | Note | Played a crap-ton of all-situations hockey in this game. Played 25+ minutes, for sure. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Nicholas De Angelis | Note | Loose puck in the slot in the defensive zone, tries to pull it in and go up ice, but a Saginaw player pokes it first, and De Angelis is horribly out of position. No damage, but that could have been costly. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Nicholas De Angelis | Note | Takes a great angle through his zone to cut off the attacking lane of the far side winger. Well played. Did that without sacrificing his weakside coverage. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Tall, long legs, but good on his edges, tight turn radius with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Hits the ice on a line change, leads the rush up the middle. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Makes good first passes out of his zone. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Smooth and composed with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Mechanics look top notch. Very good speed that will continue to improve. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Good penalty-killing stick lift to secure the puck and clear down the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Strands his man up in the neutral zone. Maybe a touch late, and a touch high, but that was hard. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Positioned well in his zone, intercepts, passes off, joins the rush. Takes a pass at the offensive blue line, splits two Windsor players with speed, slides the puck around the defender and picks it up again right at the top of the crease. Forehand, backhand, net. Beauty of a goal. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Ends the game by blocking a shot to kill the 6-on-4 advantage in a one-goal game. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |

Ryan Abraham | Note | Weak on the puck, and the Saginaw forward takes it away from him and goes up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ryan Abraham | Note | Nice hard turn on his edges. Better on his edges that straight ahead. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ryan Abraham | Note | Tends toward short, choppy strides, but he's mobile and very active. He looked sluggish at the beginning of the game, but he's picked up his effort late in the game. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ryan Abraham | Note | Just found some speed, clean zone entry, then fed a hard pass to the far circle, goal. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Sebastian Gervais | Note | Searching for a place in the defensive zone, moving well but looking a bit confused. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Sebastian Gervais | Note | Wins the ozone draw back to Mintyukov then goes to the net, but no rebound. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Wylie Birkett | Note | Slow through the neutral zone. Nice curls on his edges, though. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Anthony Wilson | Note | Shows good speed as he backchecks on the speedy Stankoven. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Anthony Wilson | Note | Works hard at both ends. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Brayden Schuurman | Note | Puck just out of reach as he tries to steal a pass, then he's off balance and out of position. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Brayden Schuurman | Note | Sweeping one-timer snap shot, on net, difficult for the goaltender because of the lengthy release point. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Brayden Schuurman | Note | Speed without the puck, slices through and takes a pass for a clean look, but the puck rolls off his stick. He exploded through the neutral zone to start that chance. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Brayden Schuurman | Note | He's long, but he's not using his reach to protect the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Brayden Schuurman | Note | He mostly skates at a leisurely pace, but then he shows the crazy acceleration and he's gone. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Brayden Schuurman | Note | Loose puck, gets it, instant shot just wide. He converts pucks into shots extremely fast. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Caedan Bankier | Note | Long-legged strides. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Caedan Bankier | Note | Leans deep into his edges on turns. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Caedan Bankier | Note | Backhand attempt on the rebound, from the slot, sort of lackluster attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Caedan Bankier | Note | Bumper on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
