Player Notes
| Name | Note Type | Note | Writer | Game Watched | Game Date | Date Viewed | Game Number |
| Denton Mateychuk | Note | Tries crossovers steps going backwards, but Savoie takes advantage and beats him easily as Mateychuk tries to turn. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
| Denton Mateychuk | Note | Very good closing speed, can snap the gap to the puck closed in a flash. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
| Denton Mateychuk | Note | Pushes the puck up ice whenever he has the chance. He looks like he'd rather carry through the offensive zone than make the leadout pass. And for good reason. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
| Denton Mateychuk | Note | Partial two-one-one against, and he's the last man back. Stick check to the player on his left, the pivots and takes the man on the right, and breaks up the play. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
| Denton Mateychuk | Note | Looks like he's playing every other shift, plus getting full time on the special teams units. Will be interesting to monitor his energy level as the game progresses. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
| Denton Mateychuk | Note | Gets in front of shots, and has gone limping off a couple of times. But he keeps blocking them. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
| Denton Mateychuk | Note | He's top quality skating the puck through the neutral zone. Carries until he creates a better option, then has the awareness and passing to find it, then continues to power into the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
| Denton Mateychuk | Note | Consistently makes threatening zone entries with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
| Denton Mateychuk | Note | Five minutes left, and his legs are starting to look a bit wobbly. He has probably played upwards of 30 minutes in this high-tempo game. Yet there he is, on the rush, ripping a one-timer on net. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
| Denton Mateychuk | Summary | Mateychuk is the prototype transition defender who can carry the puck with speed and maneuverability through the neutral zone. He can lead or join the rush, shows a high scoring drive, and more often than not, ends his shifts in the offensive zone. However, he is also sound positionally in his own end, and despite his push up ice, I don't recall seeing him not getting back into position when the puck went the other way. Speedy, balanced, agile. He's a quality defender. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
