Carter YakemchukNoteAwkward to on defense against a Lindstrom rush, but he gets away with it and sweeps the puck to the boards.Brian FogartyCalgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL)12/15/20235/23/202410310
Carter YakemchukNoteNice long diagonal pass to the far blue lineBrian FogartyCalgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL)12/15/20235/23/202410310
Carter YakemchukNoteHe can really move in transition, and will get better, too. He's a powerful skater.Brian FogartyCalgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL)12/15/20235/23/202410310
Carter YakemchukNoteA 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 FogartyCalgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL)12/15/20235/23/202410310
Carter YakemchukNoteRight-handed shot playing the left point in the powerplay, but he's moving around the top a lot.Brian FogartyCalgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL)12/15/20235/23/202410310
Carter YakemchukNoteAgain passes right at the opponent's feet.Brian FogartyCalgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL)12/15/20235/23/202410310
Carter YakemchukNoteGets drawn into an after-the-whistle cross checking penalty.Brian FogartyCalgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL)12/15/20235/23/202410310
Carter YakemchukNoteA 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 FogartyCalgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL)12/15/20235/23/202410310
Carter YakemchukNoteAnother after-the-whistle cross check penalty as he drives a prone Lindstrom down into the ice.Brian FogartyCalgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL)12/15/20235/23/202410310
Carter YakemchukNoteGreat job to get his stick down and into the passing lane on the penalty kill. Probably saved a goal there.Brian FogartyCalgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL)12/15/20235/23/202410310
Carter YakemchukNoteI'm not a fan of his defensive positioning. He's getting out too high, too often.Brian FogartyCalgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL)12/15/20235/23/202410310
Carter YakemchukNoteRisky with his feet and with his passingBrian FogartyCalgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL)12/15/20235/23/202410310
Carter YakemchukSummaryHe 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 FogartyCalgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL)12/15/20235/23/202410310
