| Player Name | Note Type | Note | Writer | Game Watched | Viewing Method | Game Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Luke Kunin | Note | A little slow in his hips flipping to backwards skating. Takes a small hop to add speed to the pivot, but that won't work at the higher levels of hockey. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | Video (With Replay) | 12/9/2016 |
| Luke Kunin | Note | Quiet most of the game, but then he's alone in the high slot on a 3-on-2 and there is no doubt. Sniper. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | Video (With Replay) | 12/9/2016 |
| Luke Kunin | Note | Pro shot with a tricky release, he is good at disguising the release point and leaves the goaltender frozen. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | Video (With Replay) | 12/9/2016 |
| Luke Kunin | Note | Lots of movement while on the powerplay, but more floating than determined. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | Video (With Replay) | 12/9/2016 |

| Luke Kunin | Summary | Two goals in the game, both from his deadly mid-distance wrist shot. Seems to lack a high compete level, which bothers me. I want to see him go harder on every shift instead of waiting for the play to come to him. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | Video (With Replay) | 12/9/2016 |
| Luke Kunin | Note | Would like to see him engage more physically in front of his own net | Brian Fogarty | Wisconsin vs Boston College (NCAA) | Streaming | 10/16/2016 |

| Luke Kunin | Note | Kunin with a poor pass that looked like he just lost concentration for a second | Brian Fogarty | Wisconsin vs Boston College (NCAA) | Streaming | 10/16/2016 |
| Luke Kunin | Summary | Kunin is a player with all of the skills and talent to be a great player, except he seems to lack that spark that sets the special players apart from the rest. Need to keep watching him to see if it was just a choppy game keeping him from finding a rhythm. | Brian Fogarty | Wisconsin vs Boston College (NCAA) | Streaming | 10/16/2016 |
| Luke Kunin | Summary | Kunin was great at the NCAA level and plays a tough brand of hockey. His release and shot are excellent and skating is good too but he could get more power out of his lateral movements. His stride is fine, it is more the technical and thus highly correctable areas that need some work. The intangible items are there as a shooter. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | Live | 8/2/2016 |
