Scouting Notes

Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: Aug 10, 2016 · SWE v CAN (Hlinka 2016) · Video (With Replay) #0
Superb change of direction with the puck leaves the defender lost and Veleno puts a quick shot on net

Edgework looks fantastic

Quick release on a one-timer, saved
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: Jan 25, 2018 · CHL Top Prospects Game · Video (With Replay) #0
Strong on the puck but just turned it over because he was trying to deke past two players when he had better passing options
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: Nov 25, 2018 · Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) · Video (With Replay) #0
Show's good balance on his first shift as he got spun around but kept his feet.
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: Nov 25, 2018 · Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) · Video (With Replay) #0
Blocks a shot then takes a hit to get the puck out of the zone.
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: Nov 25, 2018 · Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) · Video (With Replay) #0
Can stop and turn back 180 degrees in an instant.
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: Nov 25, 2018 · Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) · Video (With Replay) #0
Enters the offensive zone carrying the puck, leaves a nice soft pass to the left side, continues on into the zone, gets the puck back, then sends a sharper pass to the crease that Guay didn't get his stick on.
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: Nov 25, 2018 · Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) · Video (With Replay) #0
Finds a gift on the PK forecheck, takes two steps and wrists the puck past the goaltender. Quick release alone on the netminders from ten feet out.
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: Nov 25, 2018 · Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) · Video (With Replay) #0
Causing all kinds of problems on the penalty kill. Aggressive, fast and strong, forechecking and pushing the puck back into Halifax's zone time and again.
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: Nov 25, 2018 · Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) · Video (With Replay) #0
Wins a powerplay faceoff at the right dot, gets a quick pass back then sends the puck out to the point. He swings out to the left side, gets a pass and rips a laser wrist shot past the goaltender from the top of the left circle. Excellent sequence.
Summary By Brian Fogarty · Game: Nov 25, 2018 · Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) · Video (With Replay) #0
Veleno is a professional player. He might not become a top scorer in the NHL, but he could easily become a solid, reliable, scoring second-line center who drives play at both ends of the ice.
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: Sep 17, 2021 · Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe · Video (With Replay) #0
Looks big and strong, just a solid NHL-type build.
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: Sep 17, 2021 · Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe · Video (With Replay) #0
Powerful stride without a lot of wasted movement. Speed is good.
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: Sep 17, 2021 · Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe · Video (With Replay) #0
Hard wrist shot from the top of the circle, low far side, but the goalie fights it off with the pad.
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: Sep 17, 2021 · Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe · Video (With Replay) #0
Does well to cover the crease with the netminder trapped below the goal line. Veleno saved a goal, there.
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: Sep 17, 2021 · Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe · Video (With Replay) #0
Tries to split two defenders but can't get through and he loses the puck into the corner.
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: Sep 17, 2021 · Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe · Video (With Replay) #0
Gets a nice feed from Berggren and wrists it short side low, beats the goalie at the post.
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: Sep 17, 2021 · Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe · Video (With Replay) #0
Muscles his way through a check in the corner and leads a breakout. That's the kind of possession play that will earn Veleno his paychecks.
Summary By Brian Fogarty · Game: Sep 17, 2021 · Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe · Video (With Replay) #0
Doesn't look that different from what I've seen from him before. Strong possession forward, good offensive tools, nothing spectacular but a workman-like player who has an NHL future.
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: Sep 19, 2021 · Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros · Video (With Replay) #0
Veleno seems to like it down low on the right side and ripping shots on net from about the goal line. He scored there in an earlier game, and hit the post this time.
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: Sep 19, 2021 · Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros · Video (With Replay) #0
Not watching him in this game, but he just made such a perfectly weighted pass through traffic that I had to make a note of it.
