Noel HoefenmayerOttawa vs Sarnia (OHL)11/8/2019There's a lot to like about Hoefenmayer, particularly his rocket shot. Plays a smart game in his own end, showing positioning and awareness, but it's when he turns up ice that he really drives play. Maybe his passing isn't as sharp as it could be, but he shoots hard and accurately and brings a variety of speeds and angles to the net. He will lead a charge, but stays responsible and gets back to his defense with urgency. I like his play a lot, but as an older player in the OHL, the real test will come soon when he takes that step into the pro ranks. If he can translate his play up the ladder (which I see no reason to doubt) he could become a quality middle-pair NHL type who works the point on the powerplay, too.

Marek VanackerNoteShoulders and neck are hunched over when he skates. Not great form.Brian FogartyCanada vs Switzerland (2024 World U-18s)4/28/20246/5/202410316
Marek VanackerNoteHas the puck right corner offensive zone, carries up, reverses and shakes his man, then a quick pass to an open teammate.Brian FogartyCanada vs Switzerland (2024 World U-18s)4/28/20246/5/202410316
Marek VanackerNoteActive with his stick, he's fast to try to regain possession if his team loses the puck.Brian FogartyCanada vs Switzerland (2024 World U-18s)4/28/20246/5/202410316
Marek VanackerNoteShows very good agility, but he looks uncomfortable in the offensive zone off the puck. He moves, trying to find a spot, but he's not attacking.Brian FogartyCanada vs Switzerland (2024 World U-18s)4/28/20246/5/202410316
Marek VanackerNotePlaying such a passive game. I just want him to get his nose in there.Brian FogartyCanada vs Switzerland (2024 World U-18s)4/28/20246/5/202410316
Marek VanackerNoteGot a quick shift in. Looked good skating, but he's had almost no ice time in this game.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024)5/4/20245/28/202410313
Marek VanackerNoteGets another shift, this one after having served Marelli's five-minute penalty. Good edgework, hustled. That's a tough job to sit for most of the game as the 13th forward and then have to go full out for a shift, with energy and intensity. Did okay, though.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024)5/4/20245/28/202410313
