| Player Name | Note Type | Note | Writer | Game Watched | Viewing Method | Game Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ryan Suzuki | Note | Excellent first-touch pass to the high slot, one-touch goal. Hands and vision are excellent, but its his decision making that always stands out to me. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | Video (With Replay) | 8/8/2018 |
| Ryan Suzuki | Note | Reads the play, intercepts the breakout pass, feeds it back to his defenseman to setup a zone entry, Could have easily been tempted to turn that back and try to enter the zone himself, but his choice was smarter. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | Video (With Replay) | 8/8/2018 |
| Ryan Suzuki | Note | Centering the top penalty killing unit | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | Video (With Replay) | 8/8/2018 |
| Ryan Suzuki | Note | In constant motion during the powerplay, always making himself available for a play, and when he gets the puck, he's decisive and seems to have his next moves plotted out. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | Video (With Replay) | 8/8/2018 |
| Ryan Suzuki | Note | If you’re open, he'll find you. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | Video (With Replay) | 8/8/2018 |
| Ryan Suzuki | Note | He's not fast necessarily, but he's got a quickness and his smarts that allows him to get to where the play needs him to be. You don't have to be as fast as the next guy if you're already two steps ahead of him. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | Video (With Replay) | 8/8/2018 |
| Ryan Suzuki | Note | Throws a hit behind the net. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | Video (With Replay) | 8/8/2018 |
| Ryan Suzuki | Note | Hard, split-second backhand pass to the stick in the slot, nearly a goal but saved. Vision, precision. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | Video (With Replay) | 8/8/2018 |
| Ryan Suzuki | Note | Excellent acceleration. Finds top speed in just a couple of steps and covers a lot of distance, too. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | Video (With Replay) | 2/2/2018 |
| Ryan Suzuki | Note | Awareness sparkling as he sees the play in the opposite corner of the offensive zone, steps towards the crease in anticipation and then zips a one-timer into the net from ten feet out. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | Video (With Replay) | 2/2/2018 |
| Ryan Suzuki | Note | High-risk pass on the offensive zone is intercepted and turned up ice the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | Video (With Replay) | 2/2/2018 |
| Ryan Suzuki | Note | Awareness and IQ are just fantastic | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | Video (With Replay) | 2/2/2018 |
| Ryan Suzuki | Note | Accurate shooter with quick feet and excellent hockey smarts. That’s a highly dangerous combo. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | Video (With Replay) | 2/2/2018 |
| Ryan Suzuki | Summary | Suzuki is still a year removed from his draft year, but could be a first-round pick in the 2018 draft. So smart and aware on the ice, excellent sense of play development, and then he has the skating and hand skills to take full advantage of what he sees happening around him. His ability to put himself in the places where the play will go is uncanny, and then he can finish when the play finally catches up to what he has already seen. Fun to watch, an early candidate for a top-five pick in 2019. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | Video (With Replay) | 2/2/2018 |
