Player Notes
I started taking player notes years ago, and created the Hockey Prophets website as a way to always have quick access to them. You have access to them, too. There are currently over 1,300 players noted in the archive, with more than 8,000 notes.
The Hockey Prophets Player Notes are a continually updated archive of notes taken while closely watching individual players during game action. Players are observed for key attributes such as skating ability, play recognition, shot quality, vision, defensive positioning, and more. An important thing to understand is that despite watching roughly 200 hockey games a year, I do not take notes on all games. If a player does not have specific notes in the archive does not mean that they have not been watched multiple times. It just means that I wasn't taking individual, focused notes on the player at the time.
Below is the complete searchable archive.
Name | Note Type | Note | Writer | Game Watched | Game Date | Date Viewed | Game Number |
Adam Benak | Note | Fast up ice with the puck, tries to dangle through a couple of defenders and does, but gets tripped (no call) and slides hard into the end boards. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | Quick but so small at 5'6. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | High slot at speed, dangles his man, loads and fires a wrist shot that clips the goalie's shoulder and drops behind him but skitters to the side of the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | His speed is excellent, and he is light on his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | Low right side on the powerplay, playing just above the goal line, and when he gets the puck he's in complete control of the entire zone. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | His weight shifting and edgework makes him extremely ellusive and agile. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | Hits the puck holder on the boards. Not hard, but he's getting in there. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | His confidence in possession, and the ability to puckhandle in any conditions or threats, is elite level stuff. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | If he gets to 5'9, he'll be an NHL superstar. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | Takes a dirty, high hit from Spellacy. He was down for a minute, but then up and ready for the powerplay. Between that hit and his hard knock into the boards earlier in the game, he's taking a beating but still highly effective. Tough kid. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | Slips his man, fires on net, and Kubiesa puts away the rebound. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | Congested slot area, he's on the move left to right, and a kicked puck comes to his feet. He one-touches a no-look pass back between his feet onto the tape for what should have been an easy goal. That play made me gasp. So fast, so creative, so well executed. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | Wrist shot low far side is difficult for the netminder, because he has to expect everything from Benak and can’t cover it all. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | Another excellent pass for a tap-in goal. Perfect. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Summary | Far and above every player in this game despite being a year younger. He is an amazing prospect in every way, save his height. Incredible hockey iq and hands to match the processing speed. Quick, agile, nearly untouchable, and showed some physicality and toughness, too. He just has to get taller to get his fair chance. Super talented. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Jiricek | Note | Eating tons of penalty kill minutes. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Jiricek | Note | Easy backwards manueverability | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Jiricek | Note | Not afraid to use a one-timer bomb from the left circle on the powerplay. Two in a row that were hard, on target, but saved. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Jiricek | Note | Pinches deep, draws a holding call. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Jiricek | Summary | Not a lot of notes in the game, but that was mostly due to him just doing everything well and the play being mostly in the offensive zone. I liked his activation up ice, and he helped generate offensive chances. He also played probably 30 minutes and never missed a beat. Maybe has a better offensive game than his brother at this point, but he's just as good everywhere else. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Titlbach | Note | Nice give and go through the neutral zone gets him into the offensive zone in possession, and the passing combination has created a 4-on-2. Titlbach shows pass as he drives the slot, then unleashes a no-look, hard wrist shot that beats the goaltender top blocker side. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Titlbach | Note | Great feed. Holds, looks off the defender, then elevates the puck to Drancak for a tap-in goal. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Titlbach | Summary | Notes suffer here because he was on the same line with Benak who just stole the show. Titlbach looked dangerous and clever, with good skating and awareness. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Aidan Park | Note | Skating looks methodical, not dynamic or fast. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Aidan Park | Note | Carries into the left corner, turns back, then shuffles the puck to an opposing player for a breakaway against. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Aidan Park | Note | Good hustle to split through the center lane, take in a pass and get an attempt on net. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Aidan Park | Note | Gets a partial breakaway but can't shake Galvas to get the shot away. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Aidan Park | Summary | Skating lets him down a little, but there was some spark to his game. He had a couple of good chances that he created with smart play, but needed an extra step to finish. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
JJ Montiero | Note | Has the puck, trying to turn with the defender covering him, pumping his outside skate. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
JJ Montiero | Note | Hard pass comes to his feet, handcuffs him, and the puck goes by and out of the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
JJ Montiero | Note | He's a chip and chase player. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
JJ Montiero | Note | No flash, just a straight north-south player with some skill. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
JJ Montiero | Summary | Has size, and some skill to go with the work rate, but he lacks offensive creativity. He will drive play into the zone with determination and fight for possession, but at this point he's not much more than a grinder. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | Good read to cover the point for the pinching defenseman. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | Tries a shot from distance, but not at all a threat to score. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | That shot from closer in at the inside of the right circle was much more dangerous. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | Nice, solid hit in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | Collects a Benak rebound and pots it into the open net for a powerplay goal. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Matej Kubiesa | Summary | Engaged at both ends, active and intentional. He looks like a utility player that can do whatever is asked of him. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Ondrej Kos | Note | Killing penalies early on. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Ondrej Kos | Note | Looks fast. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |

Ondrej Kos | Note | Penalty kill, and his forechecking efforts just burned 30 seconds off of the penalty. Tremendous work. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Ondrej Kos | Note | Finishes a nice feed from Sykora with a one-timer snap shot. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Ondrej Kos | Note | Nice, long power strides. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Ondrej Kos | Summary | I liked his game a lot. Fast paced, works hard and uses his feet and game iq at both ends of the ice. On the penalty kill he hounded the puck, never letting the US powerplay get settled and created a couple of short-handed chances. His offensive play was marked by the same intensity and hustle, but he also showed good vision and good hands to start and finish plays. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Trevor Connelly | Note | Good wheels early, gets to a puck deep and then flashes it out to the right dot for a scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |

Trevor Connelly | Note | Loses the handle in the offensive zone, but tracks back all the way to his own zone to retrieve. But then he just gives it away again in the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Trevor Connelly | Note | Cutting left high slot, feeds an against-the-grain pass to the right post for an assist. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Trevor Connelly | Summary | The skill is obvious. He plays hard, and with a high level of scoring drive when he has the puck. He was creative in finding open players, showed a hard, accurate shot. The biggest downfall in the game was a mental errors, especially in puck management choices. Still, he could be a good second-round-type prosect with upside. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Will Zellers | Note | Bumper spot on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Will Zellers | Note | Hard wrist shot from the slot almost beat the goalie low. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |

Will Zellers | Note | Lovely sauce drops the puck right onto Park's stick. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Will Zellers | Note | So fast getting to loose pucks off the faceoff. He's quick off the blocks. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Will Zellers | Note | Good one-timer from the right of the net to finish to excellent pass from Connelly. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Will Zellers | Note | Good use of his body to wedge into the defenseman and try to separate him from the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Will Zellers | Summary | Uses his acceleration to be disruptive, and he showed nice patience and vision along with puck skills that enabled him to be one of the best players for the US squad. He'll battle in tight but looks more effective with space in the middle. I liked him. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |

Atte Vikla | Note | Moves well and often. Uses his feet to gain and regain position. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Atte Vikla | Note | Hard slapper wide off a one-timer. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |

Berkley Catton | Summary | Crafty, playmaking Center who can also shoot. He is a hard-working player at both ends of the ice, and was driving the play on every shift. He's a high-quality prospect. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |

Carson Wetch | Summary | Fast, two-way physical forward who makes up for his lack of offensive creative with hustle and determination. He's a player who can do it all, but at this point looks unlikely to light up scoreboards anytime soon. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Emil Hemming | Note | Gives the puck away on the powerplay with a bad pass under pressure. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |

Justin Poirier | Note | Wins the puck in the corner, but then sends a no-look pass to the high slot where no one was. Led to a one-on-one counter that the Finns finished to take the lead late. Poor decision from Poirier that hurt his team. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Justin Poirier | Summary | He'll use physical play to be disruptive on the forecheck or defending transitions, and showed quality speed and acceleration, but also seemed somewhat inconsistent shift to shift. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |

Maxim Masse | Note | Sloppy extensions there, trying to go hard up ice. Too much kick at the end was draining speed. He'll clean that up. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Maxim Masse | Summary | This game was all about his play at the front of the net. He drove the crease without the puck, and was so good when he was there. He has a lot of tools to be a very good NHL forward. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |

Michael Misa | Note | Speedy to the loose puck, gains possession, then he's caught swimming upstream against a line change. Tried to chip a pass to start a rush when probably the best choice was to reset. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |

Michael Misa | Summary | Just superb in the offensive zone. His hands and vision were on display all game long, and although he tried to too much a couple of times, he was so effective all game long that it didn't matter. He's an elite prospect. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Ryder Ritchie | Note | Above-average straight-line. Could have probably gone harder there, but he was mostly full out, it seemed. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |

Tuomas Suoniemi | Note | Lots of gliding. Gliding in the offensive zone. Gliding in the neutral zone. Gliding in the defensive zone. Then gliding back to the bench. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |

Noel Nordh | Note | Nice, long shot, low far side, pad saved. Shot might have been going just wide. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 6/18/2023 | 10289 |

Tom Willander | Note | Penalty kill faceoff, he throws the puck over the glass and now there's a near-two-minute five-on-three against. Oof. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 6/18/2023 | 10289 |

Eric Pohlkamp | Note | Just turned his back to the puck in front of his own net. | Brian Fogarty | Youngstown vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 4/14/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10287 |
Eric Pohlkamp | Note | Stocky player with a bit of a hunched, boxer's form. Moves well, but not an electric skater. | Brian Fogarty | Youngstown vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 4/14/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10287 |
Eric Pohlkamp | Summary | Offensively talented player out of the backend who brings little defensive capabilities at this time. As a right-handed blueliner with up ice skills he might get some more chances to crack an NHL lineup, but without size and without a good defensive game, I'm skeptical. | Brian Fogarty | Youngstown vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 4/14/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10287 |
Kentai Isogai | Note | Very wide skating base in his strides shorten his extensions | Brian Fogarty | Youngstown vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 4/14/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10287 |

Kentai Isogai | Note | Plays the game the right way, just not a lot of skill or speed to go with the mentality. | Brian Fogarty | Youngstown vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 4/14/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10287 |
Kentai Isogai | Summary | I honestly wish he had more skill, because everything else about his play is high-quality. Unfortunately, despite having all the mental qualities I like to see in a hockey player, he just falls short of the skill package necessary to make the NHL, I'm afraid. | Brian Fogarty | Youngstown vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 4/14/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10287 |
Martin Misiak | Note | Tall, lanky | Brian Fogarty | Youngstown vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 4/14/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10287 |

Martin Misiak | Note | Nice hustle on the backcheck. | Brian Fogarty | Youngstown vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 4/14/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10287 |

Will Whitelaw | Note | Whitelaw trying to take on three defenders while the is four-on-four. He has to realize that someone is going to be wide open, right? | Brian Fogarty | Youngstown vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 4/14/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10287 |
Jamison Sluys | Note | Okay speed and first step. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |

Jamison Sluys | Note | Not the most agile skater, a little to hoppy trying to move diagonally or laterally. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Jamison Sluys | Note | Nifty little against-the-grain pass creates a scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |

Tanner Ludtke | Note | Very nice flip pass ahead, tucks it behind the defender's skates and lands it right on the tape. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Note | Skating stride is so slow. His feet take forever to move through the cycle. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Note | Top powerplay center. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Note | Misreads the puck bounce off the boards, and he lacks the step needed to correct position before the opposing defender can close the gap and take possession. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Note | Straight-line speed is too slow. Just lost probably ten feet in the race to stop a shorthanded breakaway and was too far behind to do anything at all. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Note | His turn is tight, but he can't push out of it, just no power in his feet at all. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Note | Set up at the top of the crease, gets a pass from behind the net and one-times it home. Elevated the puck over the lefty goaltender's blocker. Nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Note | He's attentive on defense, but if he's not in position near the locus of play, he's ineffective because he can't move to the new spot required | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Note | Again showing nice hands, with some good sauce on a circle-to-slot powerplay pass. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Note | Good release and power on a wrister from the left circle. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Note | Winning his faceoffs. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Summary | Ludtke's game is all in his hands. He's a good passer and owns a quality shot, with good game awareness and vision. Unfortunately, his feet hold him back a lot and unless he improves his skating he will struggle to make an impact at the NHL level. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Brad Lambert | Note | On the powerplay, carries--flying--up the left wing, runs out of space, pulls up, passes to the defender. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Peterborough (Memorial Cup 2023) | 6/2/2023 | 6/3/2023 | 10285 |

Gracyn Sawchyn | Note | Entering the offensive zone, puck slides to him but a bit behind, tries to one-hand it in and doesn't quite, and the Petes take control.

Gracyn Sawchyn | Note | Good choice under pressure to pass to his defenseman out of the neutral zone and reset. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Peterborough (Memorial Cup 2023) | 6/2/2023 | 6/3/2023 | 10285 |
Gracyn Sawchyn | Note | Active intensity at the net. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Peterborough (Memorial Cup 2023) | 6/2/2023 | 6/3/2023 | 10285 |

Nico Myatovic | Note | Shows good speed trying to get back, relies on his edges for a hard stop instead of gliding/slowing. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Peterborough (Memorial Cup 2023) | 6/2/2023 | 6/3/2023 | 10285 |
Nico Myatovic | Note | Opens into a pass for a quick wrist shot. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Peterborough (Memorial Cup 2023) | 6/2/2023 | 6/3/2023 | 10285 |
Nico Myatovic | Note | Straight-line speed just okay. The defender was able to match him there pretty easily. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Peterborough (Memorial Cup 2023) | 6/2/2023 | 6/3/2023 | 10285 |
Nico Myatovic | Note | has the puck deep, tries a backhand pass gives it away. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Peterborough (Memorial Cup 2023) | 6/2/2023 | 6/3/2023 | 10285 |

Caden Price | Note | A little flat-footed in his zone on that sequence during the Slovakian attack. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Caden Price | Note | Tangled up with Dvorsky, scrapping and wrestling after the whistle. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Cameron Allen | Note | Wrist shot freezes the netminder, but clips the crossbar up and away. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Dalibor Dvorsky | Note | Tangled up with Price, scrapping and wrestling after the whistle. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Frantisek Dej | Note | Ready for the one-timer high, high slot. Beavertails, waits, and even though the moment has passed, when the puck does come to him, he tries it anyway. Canada player is there to disrupt. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Frantisek Dej | Summary | Dej is a big, no-nonsense center. Good at the game of hockey, but at this point does not bring anything special to the ice. Diligent off the puck, some physicality, some offense, but looks like a marginal NHL prospect. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Juraj Pekarcik | Note | Big player on the left wing, with the big player first step that looks about average. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Juraj Pekarcik | Note | Tries to drop a pass back through his legs, but he was stationary at his defensive zone half boards. Not the best idea. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Juraj Pekarcik | Note | Looks so mechanical and clunky at the end of a shift, and a step or two behind the play. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Juraj Pekarcik | Note | Looks like a different player with the puck. Intentional, aggressive. Quick release. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Juraj Pekarcik | Note | Gets a breakaway, but Dragicevic grabs hims and draws a penalty shot. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Juraj Pekarcik | Summary | Pekarcik plays an aggressive up-ice attacking style of offensive, with good speed in possession and a goal-scorer's mentality. His skillset lags his style of play a bit, but he does have some upside in his development. Likely an early-mid-round pick (think 3rd round) whose development will be crucial to future success. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Edge work is high quality, handles on pivots like a pro. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Good pinch to keep the skittering puck in the zone and Canada on the attack. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Extremely confident with the puck no matter where he is. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Maxim Strbak | Note | Center point on the powerplay, loses the puck at his feet, then loses Cellebrini who races past him. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Maxim Strbak | Note | Floating a bit in his zone. Tried a couple of hard rim pushes that didn't lead to a breakout or clearance. Cruising back towards his net while his teammate is outnumbered in the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Maxim Strbak | Note | Tries to cut off th epuck at the offensive blue line but doesn't recognize the threat behind him and gives up a 2-on-0 counter. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Maxim Strbak | Note | Penatly kill, would like to see a better first step | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Maxim Strbak | Note | Methodical and calm at both ends. Not very creative, though. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Maxim Strbak | Note | Case in point, on the powerplay, skates the puck out his zone, then tries the back pass as written, but there's a Canadian player right there. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Maxim Strbak | Summary | Strbak's future in the NHL looks like a more stay-at-home type of player who will be relied upon to kill penalties and keep forwards from holding the puck in the high-danger area of the zone. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Roman Kukumberg | Note | Penalty kill, fast to the point, whacks the puck away from Allen then beats him to it down ice. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Tristan Bertucci | Note | Transition, far side, puck goes deep and he has a choice to chase or pull up and let the forwards go after it. Tempting to chase, but he wisely pulls up. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Tristan Bertucci | Note | Hard, long diagonal pass with air that misses by a good bit. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Tristan Bertucci | Note | Nice play to start the breakout. Soft pass, lifted over sticks, right on the tape in stride. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Good work to get into the corner with speed to battle for the chipped-in puck. Gets possession, moves the puck to the open man, stats a scoring-chance sequence. | Brian Fogarty | Latvia vs Canada (WC 2023) | 5/27/2023 | 5/27/2023 | 10283 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Phenomenal goal from Fantilli. Hits the zone with speed, takes the pass, deke and snipe. | Brian Fogarty | Latvia vs Canada (WC 2023) | 5/27/2023 | 5/27/2023 | 10283 |

Dans Locmelis | Note | Overcommitts ith the stick reach and allows Krebs to cut back against the grain into open space. | Brian Fogarty | Latvia vs Canada (WC 2023) | 5/27/2023 | 5/27/2023 | 10283 |
Dans Locmelis | Note | Shows good awareness on defense, but maybe floating a little to high in the slot. His coverage is man-on-man, so it makes sense, but still. | Brian Fogarty | Latvia vs Canada (WC 2023) | 5/27/2023 | 5/27/2023 | 10283 |
Dans Locmelis | Note | Against caught reaching and it makes him flat-footed and susceptible to quick change-of-direction attacks against him. | Brian Fogarty | Latvia vs Canada (WC 2023) | 5/27/2023 | 5/27/2023 | 10283 |
Dans Locmelis | Note | Eschews a chase to a loose puck in favor of better defensive positioning. | Brian Fogarty | Latvia vs Canada (WC 2023) | 5/27/2023 | 5/27/2023 | 10283 |
Dans Locmelis | Note | Can't match Fantilli's straight line speed, but he accelerates to top speed quickly. | Brian Fogarty | Latvia vs Canada (WC 2023) | 5/27/2023 | 5/27/2023 | 10283 |
Dans Locmelis | Note | In the zone, he's attacking the net at all times. | Brian Fogarty | Latvia vs Canada (WC 2023) | 5/27/2023 | 5/27/2023 | 10283 |
Dans Locmelis | Summary | There are things to like in Locmelis's game, such as his high scoring drive, offensive skills and good acceleration, but too often he put himself out of position, lacked general awareness, and suffered from a sort of disorganized play. | Brian Fogarty | Latvia vs Canada (WC 2023) | 5/27/2023 | 5/27/2023 | 10283 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | Watchful, gliding into position, rips a one-timer, but just wide. That was close. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs France (WC) | 5/22/2023 | 23-May | 10282 |

Leo Carlsson | Note | Hands are so fast. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs France (WC) | 5/22/2023 | 23-May | 10282 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | Drives the left side, zone entry with speed, turn the defender, goes behind the net and shuffles off for the right winger going inward. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs France (WC) | 5/22/2023 | 23-May | 10282 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | A bit too upright skating, but that will get fixed no problem. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs France (WC) | 5/22/2023 | 23-May | 10282 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | Release is ridiculously fast, as are his hands skills in general. Wrists are so strong. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs France (WC) | 5/22/2023 | 23-May | 10282 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Slowly backing out of the neutral zone with the puck, waiting and drawing the forechecker until an opening appears, then a clean connection to the far side red line. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | One-time slap shot from the blue line goes wide. Lots of power, though. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Settles the puck, nice slot pass to the forward with speed differential. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |

David Reinbacher | Note | Good line, then just muscles the puck away from the German puck carrier with a solid shoulder rub out on the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Looks like a brick wall. Broad shoulders, solid frame. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Carries up ice, chips and the goes hard to the forecheck. Just intensity personified. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Sharp wrister from the mid point, glove save. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | As a right-handed shot, with speed, size and two-way awareness, Reinbacher is going to be a prime target for NHL gms. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Tries to clear, whiffs on the puck, turns it over That's the first clear mistake I've seen him make this game. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Doesn't give up on the play, stretching, diving, doing whatever it takes to keep the puck in the offensive zone as his team is trying to claw back into the game. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |

David Reinbacher | Note | Excellent backhand leading pass that springs a great chance on goal. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Veit heading up ice with the puck left wing boards, and Reinbacher completely neutralizes him with angle, shoulder and leg strength. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | A beast in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | German attackers are reversing the puck just to avoid having to take on Reinbacher. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Summary | Probably the best all-around defenseman in the draft class. Maybe not the high offensive ceiling that someone like Dragicevic shows, but he's big, strong, fast and smart and just a killer in his own end. He will be a first-round pick and a future NHL defender that teams won't like playing against. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Ian Scherzer | Note | Chases to the endboards, forces the defender into a mistake. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |

Ian Scherzer | Note | Seems to like the chip and chase approach to zone entries, and why not. He has the speed and tenacity to get into the corner and win the puck battle. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Ian Scherzer | Note | Second time he's turned his back to the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Ian Scherzer | Note | Powerplay, misses his pass attempt into the slot. Needs that to be a bit sharper. Next couple of attempts were better, though. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Ian Scherzer | Note | Solid body contact deep in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |

Ian Scherzer | Note | He's a battler. Never stops moving or scrapping. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Ian Scherzer | Note | Little wasted movement in his stride. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Ian Scherzer | Summary | Tenacious, very good skating and some good hand skills makes him an interesting prospect. Unlikely to go high in the draft, but someone will want to get him into their system. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Max Stiegler | Note | Comes up the right side, above average speed, then forces a too-hard backhand pass that can't connect and the puck goes tumbling into the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Roman Kechter | Note | Seemed to just watch that German rush instead of trying to get involved in it. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Roman Kechter | Note | Just looks too passive a lot of the time. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Roman Kechter | Note | Sees an opportunity developing, jumps hard to the slot, takes a good pass and wrists it low far side. Nice shot, but it seemed again like he was just passively waiting for something to happen, saw it, and reacted. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Veit Oswald | Note | Good speed carrying up through the neutral zone. Shifty. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Veit Oswald | Note | Had a decent chance to clear the zone, but he tried to chip out with a backward-between-his-legs move that simply did not work, and the Austrians keep it in the zone. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Veit Oswald | Note | Veit heading up ice with the puck left wing boards, and Reinbacher completely neutralizes him with angle, shoulder and leg strength. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |

Danila Sysuyev | Note | Going full out but falling a step or two behind the rush. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Danila Sysuyev | Note | Backhand pass to the slot, but no one there except defenders. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Klimovich | Note | Beautiful lead pass finds him right at the blue line, and he makes no mistake on that lightning wrist shot. I wish I had a still clip of that release: huge bend, excellent weight transfer. Beauty. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Klimovich | Note | Ice-water composure. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |

Ivan Klimovich | Summary | Looks like the veteran MHLer that he is. Cool and calm, he creates chances and looks creative in the offensive zone. I'd be surprised if he goes undrafted again, but I'm not certain what his NHL potential would be. Middle six at best, and likely a KHL player that maybe comes to North America at 24 or 25. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Still likes to get right in the slot, stick on ice, and ready to pounce on a conversion opportunity. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Left side on the powerplay, just launching salvos on net. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Taking up his spot in the defensive zone, staying in touch, but not really contributing much. Mostly just stationary. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Tries to drive the puck to the slot, but there are three defenders there and he gets closed down and loses the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Can get some sneaky passes away because his shot draws so much attention. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Another look at his key strength as a player: getting the puck in the slot and creating something dangerous on net. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Looks so thin. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Tries to force a long diagonal that hits the only stick between himself and the intended target. Telegraphed that pass. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Backing up, then goes forward on a dime. Excellent change of direction. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Second powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Takes the hit to move the puck to his fellow defenseman. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Good keep at the blue line, then he passes up the boards and goes hard to the net, tired to tuck in a rebound but the puck dies right at the goal line. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Wrist shot fom the point sneaks through somehow. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Right point on the powerplay and he's beavertailing like mad. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Smooth puck transition, carries out of his zone, through the neutral zone and nice zone entry. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |

Mikhail Gulyayev | Summary | Does a lot of things well. He's a transition defenseman who distributes the puck well, particularly from the point in the offensive zone. Walks the line to open up shooting or passing lanes. Looks unruffled with the puck under pressure. This 2023 NHL draft class is light on high-end defenders, so he'll be among the first few blueliners selected. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Timofei Davydov | Note | Rocket one-timer off the faceoff beats the goaltender glove side. What a blast. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Timur Mukhanov | Note | Very small, super quick. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Timur Mukhanov | Note | Bumper on the powerplay, does not seem to mind being in the middle of it all. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Timur Mukhanov | Note | Takes the puck top right, goes to the dot, then edges hard to his left, loses the defender, and roofs it over the goalie's shoulder. Lovely powerplay goal. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Timur Mukhanov | Note | His skating gets him into and out of little spaces, making him especially effective in high-traffic areas. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klesov | Note | Wide-set strides but okay speed up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klesov | Note | Doesn't seem to have the greatest agility. Wide turning base, slow on his turn exits. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klesov | Note | Big body at the net on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |

Yegor Klimovich | Note | Top powerplay unit with his brother. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | Slides low on the weak side, good one-timer attempt saved. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | Always on the move, this time sneaking down the weak left side of the ice, one-touch attempt on a cross-crease pass but the pucks slips just on the outside of the post. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | His closing speed is ridiculous. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | Mixing it up after the whistle at his own crease. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | Gets the puck right point and he's suddenly in the low slot, but his wrister goes just over the bar. Wow, he's fast. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | Beautiful look and completion, high to low. Nice assist. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | Attacks the net right side, draws a penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | His speed with the puck is disruptive. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | Gets taken down, loses the puck, and his frustration at the non-call leaves him deep in the offensive zone while the puck is already all the way at the other end. Get up, man! | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | Cleans up a rebound and puts it into the open net. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Summary | Such an exceptionally fast skater. His wheels will give him a lot of opportunities in the future. I was not at all fond of his obvious frustration and how it derailed his game at times, but he looks like a player that might contribute in the NHL some day if he continues to develop. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Danill But | Note | Looks good on his skates, mobile and balanced. Uses little crossovers steps effectively to generate speed on an angle. Long legs make his turning radius fairly wide, but he accelerates through it. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill But | Note | Off the bench, the attack coming towards him, he turns and easily matches the pace of the rushing opponent. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill But | Note | Gets caught reaching for a puck at the point and defender dips around him with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill But | Note | Half-hearted snap shot off the boards looks more like trying to create rebound trouble than an actual scoring attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill But | Note | Hard, crunching hit that could be a boarding call puts his man down to the ice. Draws a long video review and an eventual five-minute major. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill But | Note | On the powerplay, right point, he exits the zone and hovers a few feet outside the blue line so that he can hit the zone again with some speed when the pass comes across from the left point. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill But | Note | Uses his long reach and easy glide to drag the puck low, looks like he's going behind the net, then an ultrafast pull back behind the netminder and flicks the puck into a now-open net. Excellent goal. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill But | Note | A few times he has done the same play, where he's at the right point, pass low to the circle then drives the center lane looking for a give and go return pass. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill But | Summary | Very interesting forward prospect. Tall, with long reach and long legs. Very good skater who is always active. Looks a bit like a guy who has not quite adapted to his length, but he showed good hands, good vision and a nose for the net. His development progression will be interesting to watch. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill Ivanov | Note | Up top on the powerplay, stays out a long time. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill Ivanov | Note | Big windup slapper hits something in front of the crease. He was fast through the back swing and release, and the shot was low and hard but hit a skate. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill Ivanov | Note | Good line to cut off the forward from an attacking lane. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill Ivanov | Note | Very much a first-pass blueliner who can be effective at the point on the powerplay. Not much of a transition game. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Dmitri Simashev | Note | Big guy, rangy with long strides. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Dmitri Simashev | Note | Has the speed to easily match attacking forwards and to beat most of them up the ice. He has good turns and lateral movement, too. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Dmitri Simashev | Note | Not killing penalties at all, despite the lengthy major. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Dmitri Simashev | Note | Looks like a defender who is far more comfortable leading a rush up ice than he is defending his own zone. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Fyodor Khrapov | Note | Takes a bump and goes to the ice, a bit too easily for my liking. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Fyodor Khrapov | Note | Goes hard on the backcheck. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Fyodor Khrapov | Note | Hounding Simashev on the forecheck. That was good stuff. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Ilya Rogovsky | Note | Turns to his right, foot work is good, and the next step was powerful. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Ilya Rogovsky | Note | Top penalty kill unit, where he can use that nice first step to close gaps. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Ilya Rogovsky | Note | On the penalty kill, left-side player drops to block a shot, and when the puck goes back to the shooter, Rogovsky is fast to his left to clog the lane until his teammate can get back on his feet. Fast thinking, faster skating. Excellent play. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Ilya Rogovsky | Note | Rogovsky and his glorious lettuce are first out to kill the major penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Ilya Rogovsky | Note | Easily beats Danill Ivanov in the up ice puck race. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Ivan Gavrilov | Note | Throwing his body around a lot on his first shift. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Ivan Gavrilov | Note | Coach seems to be matching him against But early on. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Ivan Gavrilov | Note | Big hit with his shoulder straight into the chest. That was textbook. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Nikita Susuyev | Note | Playing the bumper spot on the second powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Nikita Susuyev | Note | Better with his edges than power skating. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Nikita Susuyev | Note | Goes to the net, but the goaltender sticks away the incoming pass. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Nikita Susuyev | Note | Generating some chances coming off the left half-boards on the powerplay. First a hard wrist shot, then a pass low. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Nikita Susuyev | Note | That's a couple of times in a row he's fired a hard wrist shot into the shins of the defender. He's got to figure out a way to change the angle and get that shot around his opponent and on net. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Nikita Susuyev | Note | Highsticks the defender below the goalline. Tried to lift his stick and missed it completely. Bad enough it was deep in the offensive zone, but it was also at literally the last second of the period. His team will start the next period with a tw0-minute penalty kill to deal with. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Yegor Surin | Note | Very good speed, perhaps better than that. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Arjun Bawa | Note | Covering right point, forced back to defend a two-on-two rush. He looks comfortable skating backwards, just stays calm, maintains his lane, and the attack fizzles out. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Arjun Bawa | Note | Solid on the puck. Big guy, hard to move away from the boards or knock off the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Arjun Bawa | Note | Big, long strides. Not quick, but he builds respectable speed. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Cash Koch | Note | Highly attentive in his zone. Watching, scanning, swiveling his head to monitor his point coverage, staying in position. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Cash Koch | Note | Unfortunately, Koch did not see much ice time in the game, but his defensive zone awareness was noteworthy in the few shifts he had. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Hudson Thornton | Note | Good speed. Low, compact strides. Skates into open space and makes a nice outlet pass. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Hudson Thornton | Note | Center point on the powerplay, moving the puck quickly, accurately. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Hudson Thornton | Note | Hard one-timer low, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Hudson Thornton | Note | Walks the puck down the left dot lane, keeps finding more space until he wrists one high and tight that Suchanek fights off with his shoulder. That was a tough shot to save. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Hudson Thornton | Note | Keeps his eyes scanning at all times, Allows his to consistently find the right outlet receiver. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Hudson Thornton | Note | Hard slapper low, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Hudson Thornton | Note | Collecting the puck and making the first pass is his biggest strength. So good at it. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Hudson Thornton | Summary | Obvious from the notes is his ability to gather the puck in his zone, get a few strides into space and make a clean breakout pass. Had a few good looks at net and used a couple of different shots to try to beat Suchanek. High competitive drive, and decent all-around transition defenseman. Maybe lacks the dynamic factor that would make him an NHLer, but I would be surprised if he passes through the draft again. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jordan Gavin | Note | Left wing half-boards on the powerplay, top unit. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jordan Gavin | Note | Two steps towards the slot, pivots his hips around to face the puck (which is down in the left corner), then one-times the pass, but a big save stops him. Good shot. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jordan Gavin | Note | Agile, but not fast, really. Good speed but not much more than that, it seems. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jordan Gavin | Summary | Had a lot of ice time, and a lot of chances. Sometimes he was driving the play, and sometimes he looked a step behind the pace and more of a passenger. Has easily apparent offensive skills, and looked comfortable handling the puck in the offensive zone. Needs some development time, though, but as a 2025 draft-eligible player, he has plenty of time to do that. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jozef Villem Kmec | Note | Moves well going backward, cuts off the lane to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jozef Villem Kmec | Note | Straight line speed is average or a little better. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jozef Villem Kmec | Note | Wrister from the point that Dubinsky deflects down, and the puck finds its way past Suchanek. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jozef Villem Kmec | Note | Very good lateral movement. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jozef Villem Kmec | Summary | Steady but unspectacular blueliner. Does all the little things well, but doesn't really stand above the rest in any one area. I can see him as a contributing bottom pair defender that adds depth and reliability to a good NHL team. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Gets a puck low right side, waits, waits, tries to lift it over Suchanek's shoulder but the goalie saves it. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Good acceleration to get to a puck. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Love the angle of attack into the zone, the pass finds him perfectly, drives, pulls up, fires low. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Not ten minutes into the game and he's already had four or five high-vision looks and completed passes. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Fighting and winning net-front battles. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Just buzzing. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | It just looks like the game is so slow to him. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Solid hit on the defenseman behind the net. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Glorious chance that Suchanek somehow gets a toe out to stop. Brilliant save robs Ziemmer there. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Another nice hit below the offensive goal line. Physicality and speed and scoring ability. Nice package of skills and desire. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Likes the spinning shot on net low. Hasn't worked yet, but he'll try it from anywhere. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Summary | Such an impressive player who ticks all of the boxes for a NHL forward. Very good to excellent skater who can accelerate to loose pucks or open spaces, use his edges to avoid contact or reposition, plays with some physical impact. His vision and passing are excellent, and he can either shoot from the dots or battle at the net. Easily a first-rounder who in a normal year might be knocking at the door of the top ten. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Lightning one-timer hits a leg at the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Brilliant defensive line of retreat, then battles and wins position at the net. Smart play all around. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Defensive intelligence is so high. Excellent decisions all the time. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Minute and a half left, tied game, and he's diving at the offensive blue line to keep his powerplay unit in the offensive zone. Pops back to his feet to control the play, and earns his team extended zone pressure time. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Lukas Dragicevic | Summary | There's a reason that Dragicevic is the most relied-upon defender for Tri-City. Speed, smooth four-way movement, high-level scoring and offensive skills packaged with near-elite defensive acumen, and with size. He's an NHL impact blueliner through and through. Unquestionably the top defenseman in this draft class. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Connor Levis | Note | Out killing penalties early in the game. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Connor Levis | Note | Stankoven with a nice feed, but Levis lets the puck go through his skates and it's a turnover and counter attack the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Connor Levis | Note | Nice check into the boards. Solid, clean. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Connor Levis | Note | Likes to be at the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Emmitt Finnie | Note | Lead pass takes him into the offensive zone, tries to split two defenders but gets upended. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Jaden Lipinski | Note | Up top on the second penalty kill unit. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Jaden Lipinski | Note | Good speed on the forecheck. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Jaden Lipinski | Note | Tries a hit at the boards, but mostly misses. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Jaden Lipinski | Note | Gets spun around and shows good balance to just 360 and maintain momentum up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Jaden Lipinski | Note | Can't convert the amazing feed from Honzek. Just didn't do anything with it despite the excellent chance. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Jaden Lipinski | Note | Same shift, lifts the puck up over the glass from his own end and takes the delay penalty. That went from bad to worse. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Jaden Lipinski | Note | Bends at the waist, but is a bit stiff-legged. Okay skater, but can improve. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Jaden Lipinski | Summary | Lipinski looks like a project player. Has good size, and some good tools, but just isn't playing at a high enough mental pace yet. Given time, he could there, though. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Right wing on the top powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Tall, but very fluid on his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Carries toward the slot, dangles then slips a fast-release pass low right side. Excellent look. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Carries with confidence and uses his edges and long reach to evade trouble. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Has the puck right halfboards, and finds the far-side cutter with a spectacular look and pass. No finish from Lipinski, but what a chance created. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Shove to Hofer's back is about the most physical I've seen from Honzek so far this game. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Going full out he has excellent speed. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | I like how he used his shoulder and hip to wedge between the puck and the opposing player and gain control. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Sort of attempts a hit but mostly just bumped the puck carrier instead of driving through him. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Curls off the right wall, snipes short side and beats the netminder clean. Nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Summary | Composed, tall forward with a lot of talent. His passes stood out--clearly--in this game, but his shot looked good, too. The Giants were clearly outmatched by the powerhouse Blazers in the game, but Honzek was easily the best Vancouver player. He'll be an NHLer, for sure. I'd like to see him improve his physical play, but he has all the tools to be a top-six forward and a scoring threat. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Ty Halaburda | Note | Okay movement laterally, a little methodical maybe. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Ty Halaburda | Note | Nice acceleration to change speeds off the glide and get back. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Ty Halaburda | Note | Double-shifting, it seems, killing penalties, too. He's on the ice a lot, here. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Ty Halaburda | Note | Low wrist shot, saved but leaves a juicy rebound. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Ty Halaburda | Note | He can produce very good top speed. He's first to a lot of loose pucks. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Ty Halaburda | Summary | Halaburda is a smart, 200-foot player with very-good-to-excellent speed. Lacks a dynamism and offensive flair, though, and I think that will limit his upside by quite a bit. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Nice, hard shoulder contact in the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Another good shoulder check. Really asserting a physical presence early in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Produces a ton of speed using crossovers out of his turn. Graceful power. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Huge burst of speed there going after the long pass. Like a rocket. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |

Adam Fantilli | Note | Great backcheck effort, a two-step change of speed and long reach to disrupt the backdoor chance to Cooley. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Adam Fantilli | Summary | Despite the tough competition from Leo Carlsson for the second overall spot in the 2023 draft, I think Fantilli is a lock. He moves, thinks, handles everything so well, and has such great game awareness, that he really does look ready for the NHL right now. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Brody Lamb | Note | Cooley blocks a shot, and Lamb joins him on the odd-man rush.Not as fast as Cooley, but fast enough. Turns his hips to open up for the pass and wires on over the sprawling netminder. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Brody Lamb | Note | Muscles his way through traffic up the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Brody Lamb | Summary | Continues to look like a potential NHLer, but probably with a bottom-six upside. Solid player but he hasn't shown game-breaking ability at this level. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | Super quick. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | Left side with the puck, one-handed control trying to turn the corner and leverage the defender with his inside arm, but gets forced behind the net by sound defensive positional play. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |

Gavin Brindley | Note | Always on the puck. And his speed is so dangerous. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | Leads a rush, hard angle, but snappy shot rebound creates a breakout the other way, and Brindley is going 200 feet to break up the attack. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | Faster than anyone else on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | Third assist of the game. He's factored in on all three goals for the Wolverines. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | I think he'll get an assist on that goal, too, but if he does, it's more puck luck than a clean secondary assist. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | Races to beat an icing late, up a goal, two minutes left. What hustle! | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Summary | His speed is a killer, but his ability to consistently affect the game on every shift that makes him look like a solid NHL-caliber player despite his 5'9, 157 frame. He works so hard to make an impact, and the puck just finds him. His father played at 5'10 and near 200 pounds, so if Gavin can add an inch of height and maybe get to 175, even better. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Jimmy Snuggerud | Note | Snuggerud with a beautiful pass. One tap give and go through traffic at speed. Just wonderful activity. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Jimmy Snuggerud | Note | Snuggerud is skating much better these days. Seems like every time I see him his feet look better. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Jimmy Snuggerud | Note | Big hit dislodges the puck, he collects and starts another attack. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Logan Cooley | Note | Blasts up ice to join Snuggerud on a break and snipes a goal. Cooley is flying. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Luke Hughes | Note | Not having his best game, but he's still driving play up ice. So much fun to watch him transition the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Matthew Knies | Note | Smooth on his edges. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Matthew Knies | Note | Plants into Brindley and puts him down. Knies is so big and strong. Brindley is…not. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Matthew Knies | Note | Beats Luke Hughes with an inside out move, draws a trip and one could argue for a penalty shot, there. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Rhett Pitlick | Note | Highlight goal! Eventually puts the defender on his belly with a sequence of forehand-backhand moves, then pots it. Incredible goal. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Rutger McGroarty | Note | McGroarty cleaning up rebounds at the crease. Twice in just a minute. Great hands in tight. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Rutger McGroarty | Note | Ill-advised back pass gets tipped and springs Snuggerud. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Snappy wrist shot from the point, low to the ice, redirected for the goal. Strong release, nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Pass across to his defensive pair along the blue line, too much loft, hard to receive and the pass goes past his man. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Sharp wrist shot from the point, tipped down in front, goal. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Pass back to his defenseman, too hard, and behind him. His defensive pair has to retreat to collect. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Looks good carrying the puck in transition, gains the zone, passes to an opponent. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Bumps his man off the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |

Andrew Strathmann | Note | Brutal giveaway, just a horrible choice. Gave the puck away inside his own blue line for a two-on-zero against. Easy goal that cuts the Youngstown lead to just one in the third period. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Carries into the zone, loses the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Summary | Has some obvious offensive upside, but his mental errors were numerous and at times nearly unforgiveable. His best asset appears to be his shot, but his game IQ and decision-making appears to be his worst. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |

Brandon Svoboda | Note | Like his skating a lot. Builds speed quickly, and keeps building. Fast skater, smooth feet. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Brandon Svoboda | Note | Defender is caught low, and he slides back to cover the right point. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Brandon Svoboda | Summary | He's 6'3, 212 pounds and his a very good skater, with easy mobility. Battles in the corners and on the walls. Not a lot of offensive upside at this point, but he has the tools to develop into a sturdy, bottom-six forward especially if he can improve his offense. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
James Reeder | Note | Average skater. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
James Reeder | Note | Not the flashiest acceleration. Upright skater. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |

Lucas St. Louis | Note | Center point on the 1-3-1 powerplay. Moves the puck with authority. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |

Michael Burchill | Note | Really nice one-touch, diagonal pass through the neutral zone finds the head man right at the blue line. That was a smart pass, and shows excellent awareness and vision. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Michael Burchill | Note | Creates a turnover, two-on-one follows, gets an assist. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Michael Burchill | Note | Centering the second powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |

Michael Burchill | Summary | Some moments of offensive flair and intelligence, but his feet will hold him back. He will have a lot of work in front of him if he wants to proceed up the levels. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Noah Powell | Note | Stride has his feet crazy far apart, never coming back in front. Very awkward looking and power limiting. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Noah Powell | Note | Snaps a cross-ice pass to get a clean zone entry, but doesn't have the speed to follow appropriately and the puck carrier gets swamped with no options. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Noah Powell | Note | Runs into his own man in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Noah Powell | Note | Feet are so wide, he can't generate any push at all. Needs desperately to fix that. Does Dubuque have a skating coach? | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Noah Powell | Summary | Can almost write the same summary as I did for Burchill. Has some moments, but his skating needs so much work. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Ties to thread a cross-ice pass through two defenders and it's blocked and turned over. Risky choice on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Next pass attempt gets some air, finds the cutter in the high slot. Better choice, better pass. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Smaller, speedy player. Aggressive at times, but glides a lot. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Pucks pops to him off the faceoff, cutting behind the dot to the slot, snap wrister that the goalie was able to fight off, but only just. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Same play off the next faceoff, but this time hs slides the puck back to the point, and then goes to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Patient with the puck under pressure. Keeps working, maintains possession while avoiding pokes and lifts. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |

Will Whitelaw | Note | Excellent line to get back and prevent a shorthanded breakaway. Speed helped him a lot, but that was a smart recovery, too. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | High agility and fast hands means he can generate chances quickly. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Summary | One of the best players in the game, certainly of the group that I was watching. At 5'9, 173, he is on the smaller end of the NHL forward spectrum, but his skating is good enough, and he has the offensive flair to make the NHL but possibly only as a marginal player. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Chris Delaney | Note | Not watching him, but that is the second time I've seen him turn his back to the puck and just skate away not noticing that if he had turned toward that puck instead he would have had easy possession and a clear attacking lane. Ooof. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jake Livanage | Note | Shows very good speed sprinting up ice during a rush. Then gives good effort to get back. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jake Livanage | Note | Drifts back with the puck, holding until the line change is made, then a crisp pass to the open winger at speed. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jake Livanage | Note | Drifting a bit in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jake Livanage | Note | On a night when the ice was incredibly snowy, it's been fun watching him adjust his pass weight to compensate. Passes getting harder and sharper each time. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jake Livanage | Note | Like him a lot better moving forward than playing in his own end. His defensive game needs help. Plays up too high, looks more for transition options than protecting his net. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jake Livanage | Note | Getting outmuscled at the net front, losing positional battles. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jake Livanage | Summary | An offensive-style defenseman who needs to improve his commitment in his own end. Just not playing hard enough in the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jayden Perron | Note | Peels out of the left corner with the puck, curls, finds Celebrini right circle for a one-timer. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |

Jayden Perron | Note | Drives past two Cedar Rapids players, turns the corner, finds Celebrini at the net front for a tap-in goal. Great play. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jayden Perron | Note | Superb pass that wasn't converted. Too bad, because that was a beauty. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jayden Perron | Note | Shifty with the puck on his stick. Good handle, good edges. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jayden Perron | Summary | Highly skilled player who works so well with his linemate Celebrini. He showed excellent awareness, good skating especially with the puck, and a natural ability. Like him. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Logan Renkowski | Note | He's going to be a good skater. Light on his edges, good four-way movement. Stride is a little sloppy but that will get better. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Logan Renkowski | Note | Just not getting any ice time at all so far. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Logan Renkowski | Note | Out for a shift, looks speedy, working hard, steals a puck and no-looks a pass to a better option who boots it. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Logan Renkowski | Note | Another nice pass that the receiver loses. He's getting no help. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Logan Renkowski | Note | Getting a lot more ice time in the third period with Wisdom out of action. Quicker than he is fast, but he's got good wheels. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Logan Renkowski | Note | Beautiful cross-ice pass. Great vision on this kid to find open players. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Logan Renkowski | Summary | The young player did not see much action in the first two periods, but got better ice time in the third. Very good skater who will get even better, and showed excellent vision and passing. It will be fun to watch him develop. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Reads Perron's turn and quickly sets up near the right dot. One-timer, but didn't get all of it, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Not the best acceleration. He's just not digging in for hard pushes, but at speed he is a very good skater. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Takes a hit, stays on his skates while the other guy goes down to the ice. Strong base. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Cutting through traffic in the offensive zone, passes back between his legs, but the play dies on his teammate's stick. Good look that deserved better. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |

Mack Celebrini | Note | Tries to deke around his man, who essentially tackles him (no call), then he's up and racing back to nullify an odd-man rush against. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Own end, positions at the near post with the play behind the net, intercepts the centering pass and clears it out. Smart defensive play. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Impressed by his defensive play. He plays a high-IQ game, with a lot of offensive skills but still digs in at his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Tied game with 8 minutes left and he's battling for pucks like this is a Stanley Cup game seven. Love it. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |

Mack Celebrini | Note | Jaw-dropping move and finish. Gets a puck moving down his own blue line, dekes the F1, gains speed through the neutral zone, dekes the left winger by dropping the puck around the defender's back then skating around him to it, recovers, curls the defenseman, then wrists it far post and in. Gorgeous play. Wow. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Summary | Sensational player. Whip smart, dedicated at both ends, superb work ethic, skills, passing, shot. He's the entire package and he plays the game like he was born to it.

Nick Moldenhauer | Note | Mostly ineffective. Average speed, looks kind of clumsy at times, but then shows nice vision or awareness. He needs lots of work. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Zaccharya Wisdom | Note | Wide strides, and wide turns, but he gets up ice quickly. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Zaccharya Wisdom | Note | Gets a puck high slot, tries the five hole but his wrist shot is saved. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Zaccharya Wisdom | Note | On the forecheck, pressuring, defender bobbles the puck and Wisdom steals, steps hard to the net, beats the netminder from the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Zaccharya Wisdom | Note | Attacking the zone entry with speed, but his game looks so linear. He's straight ahead, single minded, plays like he's on rails. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Zaccharya Wisdom | Note | Takes a puck in the face after a pass attempt ramped off a stick. Leaves the game with a towel on his face. Ouch. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Aram Minnetian | Note | Speedy defender, eager to get into the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Aram Minnetian | Note | Takes a solid hit but keeps his feet. Excellent balance, there. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Aram Minnetian | Note | Uses his speed to chase down a breakaway and lifts the stick to prevent the shot. Great hustle, clean play. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Aram Minnetian | Note | High scoring drive and is constantly involved in the offense. He wants the puck, but he's not overcommitting nor neglecting his defensive responsibilities. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Aram Minnetian | Note | Elusive with the puck as he uses his feet to outmaneuver opposing forwards at the point. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Aram Minnetian | Summary | At 6'0, 170 his has a full-package skating skillset that makes him dangerous in all three zones. Doesn't show a great shot at this point, and will need to work on his offensive contributions, but if he continues to develop his hand skills, he could become a solid NHL transition defender. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Austin Burnevik | Note | Looking indecisive in his own and just got caught trying to both go up ice and get back, and his man just skated away from him. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Austin Burnevik | Note | Big guy, very tall. Average speed, bends at the waist instead on in his knees. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Austin Burnevik | Note | Turns away from the play and doesn’t see the turnover, so he's going up ice when the play was going the other way towards his own net. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Austin Burnevik | Note | Tries to dump and chase but he doesn't have the wheels to beat the defender to the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Austin Burnevik | Summary | I think Burnevik still has a lot to work on his game. He was not fast enough, creative enough or physical enough to make much of an impact in this game. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Ethan Fredericks | Note | Big, board-rattling hit at the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Ethan Fredericks | Note | Maybe a little above average speed (0.5-1.0). Awkward on his edges. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Gabe Perreault | Note | Nice acceleration, generates quality speed in just a few strides. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |

Gabe Perreault | Note | Tries a lacrosse move but loses the puck as he tries to lift it off the ice. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Gabe Perreault | Note | Good defensive positioning, wins the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Gabe Perreault | Note | Follows the play to the front of the net, pokes in a loose puck for his second goal. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Gabe Perreault | Note | Collects a ten-foot rebound from the Smith bullet and puts in straight to the back of the net for the hat trick. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Gabe Perreault | Note | He gets back to the defensive zone with urgency, and he's active and capable when back there. Good penalty killer, too. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Gabe Perreault | Summary | Hard to find a fault in his play considering his hat trick and his defensive play. Scored with anticipation and shooting ability, worked hard, moved his feet. Solid two-way forward with offensive drive. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Jack Sparkes | Note | Has a bomb from the point. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Very fast. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Always flying around, this time he gets a breakaway, and even Minnetian couldn't track him down. Finishes with a forehand-backhand move for the pretty goal. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Working hard in the offensive zone, disruptive and attacking the net. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Matvei Gridin | Summary | The 2024 draft-eligible player was a spark in the Muskegon lineup. He has a lot of filling out to do, of course, but he has excellent speed and a super-high work rate. Anticipates the play, uses his speed in all three zones, and has the hands to finish plays. Keep an eye on this one. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Oliver Moore | Note | Wires a nasty wrist shot from the high slot, through a screen, beats the goaltending glove side just inside the post. Nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Ryan Leonard | Note | Reverse hit in open ice, right after passing the puck off to a defenseman. Good physical play, but that should be interference. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Ryan Leonard | Note | Great read at the offensive zone blue line to intercept the breakout pass, then he's straight to the high slot and fires the puck just high. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Ryan Leonard | Note | Leonard snags the puck just inside the blueline with speed, drives the slot, shows shot, waits, then a last-second pass to Perreault at the right side of the net for an easy one-timer into the open net. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Ryan Leonard | Note | Passes behind the defender's back across the slot to Smith. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Ryan Leonard | Note | Has the puck on a two-on-one with Smith, carrying in from the right side, again showing shot, but this time Leonard rips the puck far side, goal. Sniped the top corner. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Ryan Leonard | Note | Takes a shoulder to the head, then retaliates with a punch to the defender's head. Then in the ensuing scrum, he fakes a punch at another play and draws a penalty when the other player punched him. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Ryan Leonard | Note | Killing penalties. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Ryan Leonard | Summary | Maybe my favorite player in this game. He did it all, and his passing, shooting, vision and skating made him a scoring threat on nearly every shift. I can see him cracking the top ten in this high-quality draft class. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Sasha Boisvert | Note | Long body, thin legs, moves very well though. He gets to speed easily. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Sasha Boisvert | Note | Drives the offensive zone towards the left dot, loses the puck to a well-timed poke check. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Sasha Boisvert | Note | Not working hard enough in his own end. Big circles out towards the blue line, then just watching as a NTDP player skates the puck right past him. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Tyler Dunbar | Note | Has the puck deep in his own end, holds long enough to draw in two forecheckers, then passes out to the blue line for a clean exit. Good play. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Tyler Dunbar | Note | Nice transition game. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Will Smith | Note | Skating out of his own end one-handing the puck, and gets it easily poked off his stick at the blue line, turnover and counterattack against. Come on. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Will Smith | Note | Harassing on the forecheck, poking, lifting, right side, left side, until the puck carrier makes a bad choice to escape pressure by passing backwards up the boards, straight to Leonard for a counter. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Will Smith | Note | Really relies on his hands to do all the work that he's not doing with his feet. I will say he looks quicker this game than my previous viewing, but he still hasn't been skating hard. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Will Smith | Note | Man, when he wants to, he can really rifle a puck on net. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Zach Schultz | Note | Last man back, takes a good diagonal line to the attacker, then an excellent poke check strips the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Axel Sandin Pellikka | Note | Carrying up ice, hits the brakes and leaves the opponent just scrabbling past him, then Sandin-Pellikka simply resumes the attack. Beautiful. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Axel Sandin Pellikka | Note | Really aggressive in transition this game. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Sweden turns it over at the blue line, Odelius in last man back, and he bodies up the attacker, stops the charge and gains possession. Well played. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Good wrist shot, low short-side, saved with a nice skate from the netminder. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Passes are crisp and clean. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Julian Lutz | Note | Making quick reads and showing good hands to get pucks on net. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Julian Lutz | Note | Skinny legs, but shows good quickness and lateral agility. Skating, good hands. A work in progress. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | Changes speed with a single step. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | The size and manueverability make him so desirable at the NHL level. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | Near the red line, pass coming from his defensive zone, and he turns to shield the passing lane from the defender, gains positional advantage and creates a clear line of attack. He bought a two-step advantage with pure body position. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | Great recognition of speed differential, and one-touches a pass perfectly. So smart. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | Good hands, going into the mix then slipping a pass back out to the point. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | Not a hitter, but goes to the net, battles. Uses his size as a tool, not a weapon. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | Great puckhandling, drives around the defender. Big, fluid, with soft hands. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | Very good speed at stride. Mechanics, length of stride, everything just so good. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | In a normal year, Carlsson would be a first-overall pick. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | Getting some unfavorable bounces, or he'd have a couple of points in this game already. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Leo Carlsson | Summary | Carlsson is the full NHL package. At 6'3, 194, he already has an imposing physical presence, but he plays such an intelligent game, with such good body awareness and stick skills that he could play in the NHL now. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Muscles his man to the outside, sealing off the line to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czechia (2023 WJCs) | 12/29/2022 | 2/24/2023 | 10271 |

Eduard Sale | Note | Highly manueverable with a quick first step. Effortless skater. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czechia (2023 WJCs) | 12/29/2022 | 2/24/2023 | 10271 |
Eduard Sale | Note | Slick move to pull the puck between the forechecker's skates and then move it out of danger. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czechia (2023 WJCs) | 12/29/2022 | 2/24/2023 | 10271 |
Eduard Sale | Note | Playing high in his own zone, ready to activate up ice. Looks more like a coaching choice than Sale trying to cherry pick. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czechia (2023 WJCs) | 12/29/2022 | 2/24/2023 | 10271 |
Axel Sandin Pellikka | Note | Left halfboards on the top PP unit. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |

Axel Sandin Pellikka | Summary | Everything in his game looks so easy. His skating is fluid and his body control is excellent. Poised with the puck, transitions with ease, makes good choices on when to rush and when to be more conservative. He will be a good NHLer. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Danny Nelson | Note | Tall, but easy skater. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Danny Nelson | Note | Puck out on the wing, Nelson drives the center lane, pass comes to him but hops his stick. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Danny Nelson | Note | Centering the second PP unit. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |

Drew Fortescue | Note | Not the type to push the play up ice. Looks much more stay-at-home. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Felix Unger Sorum | Note | Not much knee bend in his skating, Very stiff. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Felix Unger Sorum | Note | Skating is really sub-par. Just took about twenty steps to go ten feet. No knee bend, no push, just a ton of wasted movement in his feet. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Noah Dower-Nilsson | Note | Good skater, smooth edge work and good form. Will get even faster over time. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Noah Dower-Nilsson | Note | Tries to force the puck into the slot when his better option was the right point where there was time, space and movement. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Oliver Moore | Note | Quick, gets low with strong legs to generate acceleration. Maybe needs work on the extensions though. They looked a little slushy there. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Oliver Moore | Note | Carving his way through the offensive zone with the puck. May be the best skater in this game. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Oliver Moore | Note | Out on the penatly kill, gives up the puck behind his own net, but then fights to get it back and clears the zone. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Oliver Moore | Note | Fun to watch him skate. Excellent balance and agility. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Oliver Moore | Note | His quickness and work rate makes him an effective forechecker. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Oliver Moore | Summary | There is so much to like in Moore's game, but it all starts with his feet. He is a full-package skater, and plays a comptetitive game with a high work rate. Did not see a lot of offense from him in this game, but he showed good puckhandling ability and looks like a player who can create offense. I need additional viewings to have a better gauge of his offensive game. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |

Otto Stenberg | Note | Very slow to transition back to his own end. Just not moving his feet. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Otto Stenberg | Note | Solid hit into the corner boards. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |

Will Smith | Note | Taking up a good position defensively, net front, attention to the play behind the net. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Will Smith | Note | Uses his edges well to shift laterally in small spaces | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |

Will Smith | Note | Now the US is on a 5-on-3, Smith carries down the right boards, below the goal line, shifts a pass to the other corner. I want to see more spark in his play. Just not a lot of urgency. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Will Smith | Note | Release on his wrist shot is lightning, though. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Will Smith | Note | Like his vision and passing. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Will Smith | Note | Wrist shot is hard, but wide short side. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Will Smith | Note | There just isn't a pass that he's afraid to make. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |

Will Smith | Note | Pacing looks plodding at times, but he's slowing the tempo to the speed he wants to play at. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Will Smith | Note | He has an array of deceptive moves, built out from his passing ability. Shoulder dips, head fakes, torso twists. Keeping the opponents off balance. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |

Will Smith | Summary | Smith is an extremely skilled puck handler and passer. His stick work can look elite at times, and his vision and awareness are absolutely NHL level. However, I am concerned after watching this game that he may not be able to do those same things when the pace of the game is NHL level. As a U18, he can use his hands to beat anyone on the ice, but he will need to get his game pace to match his hands if he wants to continue to have the same kind of success against the world's best players. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Sliding in from the left point, shoulder fakes a shot, adds a half step towards the slot, then shoots with a clearer shooting lane. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Showing off his hands. Puck is bouncing everywhere, but he knocks it out of the air, tips it around the defender, skates and recovers. Makes a good pass for a dangerous chance. Nice sequence. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |

Adam Fantilli | Note | Holds the puck at reach while carrying, which affords him a wider range of options to pull it back, around, etc. With his hands, he can use that reach as a weapon. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Andrew Cristall | Note | Crossover skater, but his transition to power is okay. Keeps his feet moving a lot, good energy early. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Andrew Cristall | Note | Carries into the ozone, flicks the puck to left point then goes straight to the crease. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |

Andrew Cristall | Note | Fast out to the point to close down the puck, then back again the the high slot and another excellent stick lift to destroy and one timer attempt. Working hard on defense. Love it. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |

Andrew Cristall | Note | Low right side on the pp, holds while a sliding defender goes past him, steps left, holds to try to open the Nettie, then shoots far side but the goaltender gets the edge of his blocker on it to make the save. Nice, patient work down low. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Carson Rehkopf | Note | Very lax on the penalty kill. Had a chance to change, didn't. Tried to cheat the zone, got caught. Didn't move his feet. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Carson Rehkopf | Note | Two opponents entering the zone left side, with Rehkopf inside both. He tries to jump past the inner most player to get to the puck carrier instead of keeping position and bottling them both. When he made the jump, the puck carrier read it well and just slipped the pass to his now open teammate with an open lane to the net. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Colby Barlow | Note | Big, looking to make a hit, maneuvers around a player but was a bit late to make hard contact on the puck carrier, so he wisely eased up. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Colby Barlow | Note | Out on the penalty kill. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Colby Barlow | Note | Not the smoothest skater laterally or in tight turns, but he works hard to get the puck on net. His edgework isn't the prettiest on ice today, though | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Colby Barlow | Note | On the penalty kill, intercepts in his own slot, then a beauty short pass to open up the breakout for Gauthier. That little pass created a dangerous 2-on-1 short handed attack. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Colby Barlow | Note | In deep on the penalty kill forecheck, but he reads the switch and hustles back to cover in his own end. I like the work ethic he's showing in this game. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |

Kalan Lind | Note | Gets possession in the offensive zone, lots of time, spins a cross ice pass to the middle of nowhere. Opposing defenseman just skates over and picks it up. No idea what he was doing with that pass attempt. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Kalan Lind | Note | A point shot was partially blocked, and skittered toward Lind at the top of the crease. He tried a turning one-touch shot that was smothered. He had time to catch and shoot, which likely would have given him a better chance. He tried a deceptive play that was well read, but a more deliberate play could have given him a better reward. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Matthew Wood | Note | Hard shot from a wrister on the move. A bit wide, but lots of heat. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |

Ryan Greene | Note | Takes a hit, but keeps his feet and recovers possession. Great balance. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Scott Ratzlaff | Note | He's been great through the first 35 minutes. Reading well, good hard lateral pushes. Making quality saves and controlling the rebounds. I don't watch the goalies, but this performance has been tough to ignore. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |

Quentin Musty | Note | When he shows his skill with a simple play, he shines. But mostly he's forcing, or waiting for someone else to do the work so he can shoot. Not at all happy with his play this game. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 7/31/2022 | 8/1/2022 | 10268 |

Brayden Yager | Note | Never seems to force the play, but he's always involved. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Brayden Yager | Note | One pp sequence: carries in, passes behind the net to the far corner. Circles back, waits, gets the puck and shoots low far side, kick save. Curls back to the same spot, gets the puck and shows shot but passes far circle for a onetime chance, hits the post. Curls back again. Gets the puck, wrists it high short side off the bar and out of play. What an excellent display of patience, shooting, passing, and awareness. Gorgeous play. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Brayden Yager | Note | I really liked his game a year ago. Now, he's at a whole new level of poise, and intelligent play. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Brayden Yager | Note | Amazing cross crease pass to Cristall, one-timer saved. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Highly active on the PP unit. Passes off, cuts into space, goes to the post. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Looks like an elbow or shoulder issue. Leaves the game. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |

Calum Ritchie | Note | Back on ice, but favoring that arm. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |

Jesse Nurmi | Note | Accelerated into a higher speed, closes the defender to the corner | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |

Jesse Nurmi | Note | On the pp, carries with speed up the left side, but has to curl out and passes back to the point. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Jesse Nurmi | Note | Gets to a rebound, but a great save from Ratzlaff robs him. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Jesse Nurmi | Note | Okay speed. Doesn't use it a lot, though. Playing kind of stationary in both zones. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Kasper Halttunen | Note | Okay speed, above average but not great | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |

Kasper Halttunen | Note | Finallly gets a chance to unleash, and his rocket snapshot is low and dangerous, but stopped. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Mathieu Cataford | Note | Not dynamic on the transition there. More plodding than attacking. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Tuomas Uronen | Note | Harassing with his stick, gets called for tripping. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |

Tuomas Uronen | Note | Shot from the high slot blocked out front. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Tuomas Uronen | Note | Well positioned on defense, intercepts the pass coming through the middle. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Tuomas Uronen | Note | Acelleration looked crisp there | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Took a couple of small crossover steps there, when I think he would have rather seen him dig in and push, but after those first steps he was fast up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Back deep in his own end to retrieve a puck, then it's up and out. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Long shot on net, not much to it. More like he wanted to get a whistle than anything. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Lots of energy on the forecheck. Harassing the puck, taking away lanes. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Man, he wants to score. Just drove straight at the net, but the pass never made it to him. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Speed is excellent or even better. He accelerates on his turns. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | He's an amazing skater. Highly agile. Not an explosive first step, but he is at speed in two or three steps. Dynamite on his edges. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |

Jiri Kulich | Note | Takes a nice pass, gets a clean look on net, but his wrist shot from 15 feet is snagged with a beauty glove save. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Jiri Kulich | Summary | His entire game is built from his feet up. Speed, agility, fantastic spatial awareness. Works hard in all zones and looks like he has a high scoring drive. Once his game develops more over the next couple of years, he could be a very good NHL forward. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Michael Gut | Note | Picks up a loose puck in his own zone, powers the puck through the neutral zone, makes a clean entry across the blue line, then passes off to the right wing. Okay speed, okay hands, but kind of rough on the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Michael Gut | Note | Using his edges well to gain lateral movement on his glide and then to reverse at the crease. He is a good backwards skater. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Michael Gut | Note | Pops up a little upright on his first step. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |

Michael Gut | Note | He is pressuring the German defense, forcing them to collapse to him, and then passing out to better options. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Michael Gut | Note | Puck goes back to the goaltender, and Gut sees the Germans changing. Calls for the puck, but instead of beavertailing, he points to the area of the ice where he wants to the puck to go. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Michael Gut | Summary | Looks a lot more like a quality defensive, possession center than a scorer, but he does have some offensive upside. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Michael Gut | Note | He continues to work hard, but no one is getting the puck to him when he's in the high-danger area. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |

Sebastian Malat | Note | Sees the Germans get the puck, and he's back and in defensive position immediately. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Sebastian Malat | Note | Powerful strides in his legs, but he is a bit wiggly up top. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |

Sebastian Malat | Note | Killing penalties, blocks a shot, and jumps to the loose puck, but the middle point was closer to the bounce and gathers. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Sebastian Malat | Note | Overextends and gets beat, allows his man around him in the neutral zone, but gets lucky because the play was called offsides. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Sebastian Malat | Note | Again, in the neutral zone, just puts his stick out to try to slow the puck carrier, and again the carrier just goes right on by. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Sebastian Malat | Note | Coming up the right wing with speed, turns the corner on the defender, shovels a backhand shot high short side, shoulder save. Malat showing great speed, there. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Sebastian Malat | Note | Doing some things well, and then other things look clumsy. He's frustrating me. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Sebastian Malat | Summary | Too many mistakes, too much playing at his feet instead of head up, eyes out focus. Has the speed and defensive awareness to be a penalty killer, bottom line forward, but in this game he looked like a guy who would struggle to stay at that level. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Sebastian Malat | Note | Held the puck too long and turned it over under pressure. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |

Fraser Minten | Note | Attentive in his own end, but he's not getting in the mix much. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Fraser Minten | Note | Nice outside-in move with the puck, beats Mateychuk but not the goalie. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Fraser Minten | Summary | Kind of average in the game, nothing bad but nothing special, either. He looks like a player that could break into the NHL as a role player at 21 or 22 if all goes well for him. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |

Josh Filmon | Note | Just not accomplishing much in the game. He gets the puck, he moves the puck, he loses the puck. He's tried a couple of hits that missed. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Josh Filmon | Note | Gets the puck in the high slot area on the powerplay, skates it towards the point, but into more trouble than clear space, turns it over. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Luca Del Bel Belluz | Note | Strides look clunky and wide. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Luca Del Bel Belluz | Note | Long legs, playing mostly stationary and slow right now. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Luca Del Bel Belluz | Note | Having a hard time matching the pace of this game. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Luca Del Bel Belluz | Note | Lost his feet pretty easily there after a shove from Lindgren. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Luca Del Bel Belluz | Summary | Disappointing game. He showed a few moments of potential, but those were often washed out by sort of lackluster play. Spent a lot of time watching. The tools are there if he ever wants to use them, though. Decent skater, decent hands. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Mats Lindgren | Note | Gets a puck behind his net, then uses fast crossover steps to back out and turn up ice with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Mats Lindgren | Note | Eager to get in on the attack in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |

Mats Lindgren | Note | Plays with his shoulders hunched up. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Maveric Lamoureux | Note | Shoves more than hits Verreault, but dumps him off the puck just the same. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Maveric Lamoureux | Note | So tall he plays kind of bent over at the waist. Awkward lateral movement. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Maveric Lamoureux | Note | Good on his feet in general, which is outstanding for someone as tall as he is at his age. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Maveric Lamoureux | Note | Geekie able to turn the corner on him. Lamoureux just kind of laid his stick out there as a form of defense. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Maveric Lamoureux | Note | Physical player, but bumps guys a lot more than he lines up huge hits. Still, at his size, the bumps pack some force. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Maveric Lamoureux | Summary | Hard not to want him to succeed at his size. It will take him a while, but when he puts it all together he could become a nice middle-pair, first pass, stay-at-home defender. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Michael Buchinger | Note | Chasing the puck behind his own net, getting crossed up a bit in coverage. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |

Michael Buchinger | Note | Allows Gaucher to get around him going after a dumped in puck, then ties him up at the boards. Good play. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Nathan Gaucher | Note | Looks like he's roaming the ice trying to find someone to hit. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Nathan Gaucher | Note | Can build up speed, but it takes him a few strides to get that big motor running. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Nathan Gaucher | Note | Chases Donovan behind the net on the penalty kill forecheck, starts to lose him, slashes, slashes again, and gets called for the second one. Now a 5-on-3 as he goes to the box. Not smart, beginning to end. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Nathan Gaucher | Note | Not the best stops and turns. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Nathan Gaucher | Note | Quick hands to convert the feed for a one-touch goal from the edge of crease. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Nathan Gaucher | Note | Out at the low slot looking for another tap-in opportunity. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Nathan Gaucher | Summary | Will need to improve his first few steps and agility, but the power forward moves and strength are there if he can. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Owen Pickering | Note | Excellent positioning neutralizes Seminoff at the doorstep. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |

Owen Pickering | Note | If the puck goes to the opposite corner, he's straight to the front of the net to protect against the back door attack. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Owen Pickering | Note | Reads the incoming pass, steps up, reaches out, and deflects the pass away before it can reach it's target. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Owen Pickering | Note | Effective on the penalty kill with his long reach and quick feet. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Owen Pickering | Summary | A lot to like in his game. Skates very well, is a good passer, but plays such a smart game in his own end with quality reads and positioning. A lot of upside potential. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |

Tristan Luneau | Note | Sees the turnover in his own end and immediately jumps up to attack. He's the right side of a 2-on-1, gets the puck and a clean look and hits the crossbar from the right side dot. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Tristan Luneau | Summary | Luneau showed above average skating and hands, and with his offensive drive, he could become a legit top-four NHL transition defender. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Cameron Lund | Note | Gets the puck left hashmarks, but turns away from the net, then leaves a soft pass easily picked off. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Cameron Lund | Note | Shoving and wrestling after the whistle, gets called for two for roughing. Frustration entering the game for Green Bay, down 5-0 in the second period. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Cole Spicer | Note | Nice bounce pass off the boards to spring an attack into the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |

Cutter Gauthier | Note | Buries Greene with a shoulder to the jaw, and a bit late at that. Five minute major and a game misconduct. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Cutter Gauthier | Summary | Uses his size well, and has power in his feet, which he also uses to generate physical power on the boards. His hit of Greene was high and late and unnecessary, though. He showed good hockey iq otherwise, made some smart plays on and off the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |

Frank Nazar | Note | Beauty short-handed goal. Holds the puck backhand on his left side while curling to the slot to his right, protecting the puck and gaining position inside the defender, draws the puck forehand and flicks it five hole. Smart, fast, handsy. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Frank Nazar | Note | Goes hard into the endboards after flying at the net in a scoring chance footrace. Draws a tripping penalty and goes slowly to the bench. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Frank Nazar | Summary | Has the hands to make things happen and a nose for the net. His skating is very good to excellent, and his offensive hockey sense is keen. He was dangerous in this game, and generated opportunities with his feet. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Hustles up the left boards, slips past the check, then makes a nice find and pass to Leonard cutting to the crease. Excellent assist. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Third in on a rush, takes a nice line as the trailer down the middle, but he boots the back pass. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |

Isaac Howard | Note | Good edges, goes 10-and-2 to open up for an incoming pass. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Playing left wing on Nazar's line. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Blows past the attempt to stand him up at the blue line, head up at the left-side half boards, then he wires a beautiful pass to the crease to find Leonard for an easy goal. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | First step is easy and impressive. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Not a lot of urgency to get back to his own end, not a ton of energy off the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Closing in on a loose puck just inside the offensive zone, head up, looking for options as he gets to the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | On the powerplay, takes a puck center ice, tries to split two defenders as he enters the offensive zone despite having two much better options on either side of him. Turns it over. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | When he has the puck with time, he is a dangerous playmaker. Otherwise, he is not nearly as effective. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Jayson Shaugabay | Note | Smaller player at 5'10, moves well, engaged. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Jayson Shaugabay | Note | Jumps to a loose puck, skates into space at the left circle, pulls up, passes back to the high slot, but a bit in the attacker's feet. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Jimmy Snuggerud | Note | Turns are okay, but his first step lags a bit. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Jimmy Snuggerud | Note | Just not very fast. His form is okay, but his feet are slow to move through the entire stride and return. Limits his speed and acceleration. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Jimmy Snuggerud | Note | No looks a pass from right circle to left to find a wide-open Duke and an easy goal. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |

Jimmy Snuggerud | Summary | Not the fastest player on the ice, but he made a significant impact at both ends with tenacity and puck movement. He'll bump, he'll grind, and then he'll make a nice read and pass that ends up with the puck in the back of the net. Probably more of a quality middle-six type than top six, but he looks like he has the tools to be an NHLer. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Lane Hutson | Note | Back looks a little hunched over as he glides, but better when he skates. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Lane Hutson | Note | Hustles back for a puck, protects and turns from the forechecker until he finds an long outlet pass. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Lane Hutson | Note | Carries with speed and maneuverability through transition in the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |

Lane Hutson | Summary | Transition defender, keeps his head up and seems happiest when the puck is on his stick. Good passer with vision and patience to pick out the right first pass out of his zone when carrying isn't the option. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Logan Cooley | Note | Great middle man on the tic-tac-toe, takes the pass right circle and one-times a pass to Gauthier far post. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Logan Cooley | Note | Everywhere in the offensive zone. Green Bay having a hard getting a stick on him, then a creative backwards pass through his legs to the crease that deserved a better conversion. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Ryan Greene | Note | Takes a great line through the neutral zone, then picks up speed to beat the defender to the corner. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Ryan Greene | Note | Great job covering Cooley, wins the puck, turns up ice and passes to start the breakout, then gets clobbered by Gauthier. That looked like a headshot and a half-tick late. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Ryan Greene | Note | Looking like he's playing at 3/4 speed. I wonder if that Gauthier hit has zapped him a bit. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Ryan Greene | Note | Wrists one top far side from the left circle. Nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Brad Lambert | Note | Gets to the high slot, gets a pass, turns and puts it on net. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Brad Lambert | Note | So quick, acceleration is excellent, speed and agility are top level. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Brad Lambert | Note | Takes a pass driving the right circle, but the defender is on him, so he goes behind the net, using it to rub off Reinbacher, then passes out to the other side - goal. Good play from Lambert. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Brad Lambert | Note | Skating is beautiful and fun to watch. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Brad Lambert | Note | Jumps to a loose puck in the slot, tries to pull it in, toe drag, and the puck rolls off his stick and he turns it over. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Brad Lambert | Note | His game in a snapshot: he's first to a puck in the corner. Tries to change direction back behind the net, loses the puck, watches the Austrian player skate away. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Brad Lambert | Note | Four-on-four, he hits the offensive zone with speed, then tries to take on all four Austrian players instead of looking for anyone else. What was that? | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Brad Lambert | Summary | Maybe the best skater in the draft class. His movement, acceleration, speed are all elite. He has good hands and shot, but there are too many times when he tries to do too much or doesn't try enough to get it back. So much to like, but still a lot of question marks for me. If he can develop into a player who absorbs the game instead of fighting it, he could be a top-line NHL forward. If not, he'll bounce around more, have some flashes, but never meet expectations. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Gets to a loose puck first, absorbs the hit to move the puck up the wall. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Physical, seals off his man well in front of the net. Fights for position. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Joakim Kemell | Note | Jumps a gap to a puck in a flash. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Joakim Kemell | Note | Slap shot from the center point crushes the post. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Joakim Kemell | Note | His puckhandling hard reverse just made me gasp. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Joakim Kemell | Summary | Kemell is all about the shot. He can play hockey, has the footspeed and vision to be a good forward, but his shot could make him special. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Johannes Tschuring | Note | Speed is quality even when he's not full out. Like his stride mechanics. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Juuso Maenpaa | Note | 5'7, 148. I know the league is easier now for small players, but that is small. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Juuso Maenpaa | Note | Stride/mechanics look good. Smooth form. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Luca Auer | Note | Good speed, plays the body, goes to the front of the net. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Luca Auer | Note | Not a lot of quickness/acceleration. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Marco Kasper | Note | Smooth, efficient skater. Long extensions, good edges. Speedy. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Marco Kasper | Note | Such a battler. He'll dig and dig on the wall, hustles all of the time. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Marco Kasper | Note | Holding, maneuvering around the forecheck, trying to pen something up. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Marco Kasper | Note | Sticks with Paivarinta, which is not easy to do. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Marco Kasper | Note | So good in possession. Screens the puck from defenders, handles around them, moves it well, uses the boards. Just a high-quality puck possession player. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Vinzenz Rohrer | Note | Nice shot block. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Vinzenz Rohrer | Note | Another tough shot block. That one hurt. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Vinzenz Rohrer | Note | Acceleration looks very good. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Vinzenz Rohrer | Note | Shows some speed going backwards. That was impressive. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
David Jiricek | Note | Smooth slide to his right while going backwards, easily cuts off an attempt to go around him, | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Note | Gunther tries to dangle and go around, but Jiricek stops him cold. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Note | Steps up at the red line to pick off a long head-man pass. Carries to the blue line at speed, passes live, then goes hard to the net. Great play. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Note | He's an aggressive defender, closing spaces with intent | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Note | When the puck is on his off side, he hustles back to establish defensive position before the play arrives. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Note | Bedard catches Jiricek leaning on the wrong foot, cuts to go around, but Jiricek recovers with a long reach and pokes the puck away. No threat. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Note | Anticipates the opposing players' intentions so well. He's reading minds out there. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Note | Holds until the lane appears, then makes a sharp pass to start the transition up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Note | And there's the knee injury I knew was coming. Stepping up to hit Guhle, leg-on-leg contact, and Jiricek's knee takes the worst of it. Too bad. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Summary | Jiricek is the total NHL defender prospect. Good wheels, ability to move lateral and turn with top opposing forwards. He's strong on the puck and along the walls, and his balance allows him to lean into players to negate their options. He's aggressive to attack the puck when that's an option, but responsible and doesn't give up attacks. Moving up ice, he's patient with the puck and goes hard into the attack. He's going to be an excellent NHL defenseman and likely a cornerstone blueliner. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | End of a long shift in the defensive zone, Kulich gets the puck near his bench and tries to play the puck across the redline by going through his legs backward. Turnover leads to a quick counterattack from Gunther, | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Straightline speed looks above average, good form but not a ton of flash. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | I like his work rate. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Drops down to block a shot, then quickly back to his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Skating is good, especially small-space multidirectional movement, but top speed isn't thrilling. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Does an excellent job in his own end to stick with MacTavish as he has the puck, turns him to the corner and then plasters him into the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | I think his speed will improve to probably a 1.0 to 1.5 level. Good to very good. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
Elias Pettersson (D) | Note | Gets twisted up trying to change directions while in the middle of backwards crossovers. Looked clunky. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Elias Pettersson (D) | Note | Gap closing speed is very good. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Fabian Wagner | Note | Settles just inside the neutral zone to cut off a breakout attempt, intercepts the outlet pass. Well done. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Fabian Wagner | Note | Primary penalty kill center for this Swedish squad. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Filip Bystedt | Note | Long, not super fast, but fluid. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |

Filip Mesar | Note | Dangerous and elusive with the puck on his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |

Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Looks so comfortable on his skates, but rarely pushes hard into a full stride. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Gets a puck high slot with his back to the net after a turnover, curls to his right and exits the turn at the top of the left circle with the puck already loaded for a wrist shot. Fires it on net, handcuffs the goalie, but the save is made. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Hands and feet work so well together. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Finally going hard (backchecking) and his form looks excellent. Smooth, no shoulder swing, nice extensions. Judged his speed requirement well. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | One-times a snap shot on a loose puck. He does not need encouragement to shoot. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Takes the puck off the wall and drives laterally across the front of the net, working through traffic, gets a shot away from the far-side hashmarks. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Wrist shot is his weapon of choice, and it is a rocket. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Hangs out around the top of the left circle on the powerplay, waiting to pounce. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Not working a lot off the puck, but he's finding the puck on his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Summary | Lekkerimaki is a shoot-first forward who looks like he wants nothing more in life than to put the puck in the net. His wrist shot is dangerous, with a fast release and a lot of heat behind it. Several times his shot bothered the goaltender (who played an excellent game). I don't recall a single shot of Lekkerimaki's that did not result in an awkward rebound as Elias fought them off. He has good vision, but he is not a playmaking forward at this point. Skating is interesting. He has excellent dimensional movement due to his edgework, but he doesn't show exceptional speed or acceleration. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Up the right side with the puck, hard stop, head up, fires a long diagonal pass to the left side of the blue line for a solid one-timer chance. Good find. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Flips a long wrister from just inside the blue line near the center point, trying to give his man at the side of the crease a deflection opportunity. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Blocks a shot, collects the puck from his feet, tries to move it out of his zone, but Ostlund takes the puck away. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Not a dynamic skater, but he gets around the ice well. He's just a big, strong forward with soft hands and an imposing pro power forward style. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Right point on the powerplay, just fired a bombing one-timer. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Uses his body well for position superiority. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Not putting a lot of effort into defense. He's there, and he's active, but I'd like to see him really working instead of monitoring. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Draws a penalty in the corner just because Havelid had to grab him to try to keep him from muscling his way out with the puck and into a dangerous scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Summary | In a game where the Slovakian jerseys (red numbers on blue field) made it incredibly difficult to identify players, Slafkovsky was a clear stand out. His size, his style, his dominance on the puck all made it fairly obvious who he was on the ice. This game was nine months old, and Slafkovsky has grown into his game even more in the meantime, but he's a clear power forward NHL talent. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Mattias Havelid | Note | Strong push with his left skate moves him laterally to his right for position off the draw. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Mattias Havelid | Note | Slapshot has a big, sweeping follow through, but that one wasn't particularly dangerous. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Mattias Havelid | Note | Very good skater. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Mattias Havelid | Note | Bad pass out of his corner, put it into the feet of the forward and it skitters to a Slovak player in the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Mattias Havelid | Note | Wrist shot center point top left corner. Caught the goaltender leaning the wrong way trying to see through traffic. Nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Ondrej Molnar | Note | Pulls the Swedish breakout pass down with his stick to intercept, back pass to a charging Dvorsky. Great play by Molnar. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Simon Nemec | Note | Nemec with a beauty long wrist shot through a screen to put his team up in the 3rd. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Braeden MacPhee | Note | Lovely shot off a quick feed, one touch bar down over the shoulder. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
James Swan | Note | Small, skates with feet wide apart, but looks like he gets good extensions. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
James Swan | Note | Second chance for a wrist shot from the hash marks, both sent far side wide by a good bit. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
James Swan | Note | Works hard to create an odd-man rush, follows Orr deep, gets a return pass, puts it over the net. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
James Swan | Summary | Swan is a scrappy little player who plays hard but he needs to work on his skating and shot. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Tries a sharp cross-crease pass, doesn't get through, then he gets the loose puck and snaps a shot on net. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Right side on the powerplay, holds and walks in toward the net until he can draw the defender to him, then passes around him to the low post. Created that chance with patience. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | His first couple of steps lack strong push, and have more of a high kick to finish. But after those steps he gets into good stride posture and looks better. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Lifts a stick to allow the pass to go through, then collects it on the other side. Smart play. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Goes to the crease for the deflection attempt, saved low. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Giving out instructions on the offensive zone faceoff setup. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Excellent sequence. Gets back to his defensive zone, positions perfectly to create a turnover by stepping into the only lane where a pass could be possible, then shows off the sick hands in tight to pull the puck in, around the opponent, then a quick flick pass to start the attack. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Has the puck in deep, sees his team changing, so he turns to the corner boards, absorbs the pin and holds the puck until his team finishes it's line change. Another smart play. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Beavertails a lot, calling for the puck, but almost always he is the best option at that time. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Finishes the tic-tac-toe play with a beauty one-touch off the feed from Desnoyers. Was open hips for the pass, and soft hands to collect and shoot. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | On the ice for a defensive zone draw late, protecting a one-goal lead. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Patient pass out of his end, springs a breakaway for an empty net goal. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Kian Bell | Note | Pushes up instead of forward with his first steps. Needs to deepen those knee bends. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Mechanics look sound, shows nice speed getting back for a loose puck. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Puckhandling is calm, and he has a nice, smooth release on his passes. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Small space, four-way movement is very good to excellent. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Tall, sturdy frame. He's going to be beastly when he gets stronger. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Plants the German puck carrier just inside the neutral zone. Solid, punishing open-ice hit. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Joins the rush, takes a pass from Ostlund, then fires a hard snap shot low that hits the post. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Shoots the puck with confidence and authority and his wrist shot is difficult to handle. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Calle Odelius | Summary | Solid player from the back end, who can join the rush and make plays. Needs to polish his game, but the core materials are there for an NHL defender, likely middle pair with upside. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Elias Salomonsson | Note | Nice hip check. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Elias Salomonsson | Note | Goes belly down to try to do, what? There was no possible way for that move to do any good whatsoever. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Elias Salomonsson | Note | On the power play, takes the puck from behind his own net, and with all five back, he leads the breakout carrying the puck into the neutral zone. Then, he passes back straight to Roman Kechter, who skates in and buries the clean shorthanded breakaway goal. Not a smart play from Salomonsson. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Elias Salomonsson | Note | Another ill-advised play that leads to a turnover. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Filip Bystedt | Note | Tall, rangy player, but good mobility. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Filip Bystedt | Note | Holds the defender off on the turn with his length, but the turn was slow and he had more duress than necessary because of it. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Filip Bystedt | Note | Looks coltish and awkward at times. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Filip Bystedt | Note | Carries through the neutral zone, then tries to go in alone though the slot instead of looking to his wings for help, and he gets closed off and turns it over. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | He is constantly involved in the play at the offensive end. Not focusing on him, but he keeps making plays. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Drives the net, pulls across, shoots far side, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Liam Ohgren | Note | Sneaky wrist shot beats the German tender five hole from the right circle. The netminder probably should have had that one, but it was a good shot nonetheless. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Liam Ohgren | Note | Skates the puck up the left wing boards, tries to pull up, loses the puck. Later in the same shift, skates the puck up the left wing again, then passes off to a German defender. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Liam Ohgren | Note | Recipient of an excellent pass out of the corner, and he's all alone at the crease for an easy tap-in goal. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Liam Ohgren | Note | Out on the penalty kill protecting a one-goal lead late in the third. Just made a diving play to clear the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Liam Ohgren | Note | Second powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Liam Ohgren | Note | Puck in his skates, pirouettes to find it, keeping momentum, and regains control on the move. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Matthias Pischoff | Note | His lateral movement is amazing. Super quick to his right, while facing up to the puck. Puts this movement to excellent use on the penalty kill. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Matthias Pischoff | Note | Good hit into the halfboards. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Matthias Pischoff | Note | Gets past Pahlsson at the blue line, goes to the slot, and when Hordler gets him the puck, he goes forehand-backhand, goal. Nice deke and shot. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Matthias Pischoff | Note | Finds some open space at the right dot, gets the pass out of the corner, steps toward the slot then wrists one bar down. Beauty over the goalie's left shoulder. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Matthias Pischoff | Note | His hips are so fluid, he creates excellent backwards and lateral pivots and quickness. His straightforward acceleration could use some work, though. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Matthias Pischoff | Summary | The first thing that stood out to me was that remarkable lateral movement and constant activity off the puck. He can be a good penalty killer at any level with that movement and his active stick and willingness to block shots. Offensively, he had two nice goals, showing off a good, quick release. He'll need to get into the middle more, but if he does, he could be a sleeper. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Noah Ostlund | Note | Good, sharp turns, acceleration above average, nice lateral work. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Noah Ostlund | Note | Solid slapper one time from the right dot. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Noah Ostlund | Note | Running the powerplay from the right circle, moving the puck quickly, sends an excellent pass to the far circle for a one-timer goal by Lekkerimaki. Beauty. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Noah Ostlund | Note | Gets good power on his wrist shot. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Noah Ostlund | Note | Looks off the defender then passes the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Noah Ostlund | Note | Possession game is quality, able to handle through traffic, uses his feet to get separation, and wins races to loose pucks. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Noah Ostlund | Note | Excellent read to intercept at the blue line, drives up, finds Joel Jonsson with a clever and deft pass to create a chance. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |

Noah Ostlund | Summary | Drove play throughout the game, making good passes with deception and vision, winning puck races, disrupting breakouts and attacks. Showed a good shot and high level of competitiveness. I liked him a lot in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Roman Kechter | Note | Wearing the "C" for the German squad. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Roman Kechter | Note | With the puck in his own corner, easily evades the forechecker by spinning away and then moving the puck up to the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Roman Kechter | Note | Drops a heavy hit in the offensive zone. Ooof. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Roman Kechter | Note | Collects the awful Salomonsson back pass, clean breakaway, pops the bottle shorthanded. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Roman Kechter | Note | You can tell by his composure, especially with the puck, why he is the Captain. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Roman Kechter | Summary | Kechter is calm, poised and in control when he is on the ice. Smarter than he is skilled, probably, but he plays an honest game with no glaring weakness, but no standout electrifying skill, either. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Carter Mazur | Note | Mazur can fly. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Carter Mazur | Note | He is everywhere, crashing and banging, using his speed to close gaps to the puck carriers. Fun to watch. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Carter Mazur | Note | Thumping hit, but a half-tick too late for IIHF play, and he's called for interference. Nice physical play, though. Legal in the NHL. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Carter Mazur | Note | Powerplay sequence he just showeda hard wrist shot, a driving slapper, and good net front presence. Not a highly accurate shot, but hard, hard, hard. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Carter Mazur | Summary | Speeding, physical best with some skill. Probably not a scoring forward at the NHL level, but certainly has the style of play to get him there in a bottom six capacity. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Dominic James | Note | Changes gears, drives the net, lots of power in his stride. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Filip Mesar | Note | Easy mobility, some excellent speed up the right side. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Filip Mesar | Note | Second powerplay unit | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Filip Mesar | Note | Chokes way up on his stick to get a clean one-timer away on a pass that was a bit too far forward. Great adjustment and then better weight transfer. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Filip Mesar | Note | Knows how to slide through lanes to get to the space he wants. Alters his speed as needed, using his feet to benefit the play. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Filip Mesar | Note | Big effort on the backcheck. Really battling out there trying to claw the team back into the game. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Filip Mesar | Summary | Fast, agile, competitive at both ends, and makes good decisions with and without the puck. He's a top-quality player. Would like to see him convert chances a little more, but he looks like a player who will continue to work hard in improve | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Second powerplay unit | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | So much height and strength, and to move that well, it’s a dangerous combination. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Soft hands in traffic. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Accelerates better than you'd expect for someone that big, and it’s disarming for defenders. It's like a mountain leaps at you. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | So manueverable, slides into the slot, backhands a good shot of the short-side post against the grain. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Big wrist shot from the high slot off the draw. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Extremely difficult to move off the puck. His feet allow him to reposition himself between the puck and the defender, his hands keep the puck out of reach, and his size absorbs physical pressure. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Sweet no-look pass to Mesar to set up a scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Summary | There is a reason that Slafkovsky is a top prospect in the draft. He's big, agile, balanced, coordinates his feet and hands into effective play generation, and he has a big shot that he uses well. Future NHLer, no question. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Maxim Strbak | Note | Looks stable going backwards, but uses his crossovers more than I'd like. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Maxim Strbak | Note | Facing the boards behind his goal, tries a quick backhand pass to the slot, but was too clever by a lot. Why? Sequence that ensues ends with his goaltender fishing the puck out of his net. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Maxim Strbak | Note | Gets caught up ice, and can't keep up with Berard going the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Maxim Strbak | Note | Low, hard shot from the point, deflected in front, almost gets through. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Simon Nemec | Note | Powerplay anchor | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Simon Nemec | Note | Carries through the middle, speed and determination | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Simon Nemec | Note | Dogged on the puck, battles it up the boards, and just made a clean steal from the US forward. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Simon Nemec | Note | Sidesteps most of the Slaggert charge, but gets his foot clipped and draws a tripping penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Simon Nemec | Note | Pure skater, excellent mechanics straight line, brilliant edges, effortless. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Simon Nemec | Note | Pass into his skates? No big deal. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Simon Nemec | Note | Top penalty kill unit, playing a lot of minutes so far, in all situations. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Simon Nemec | Note | Takes a hard slapshot right into his midsection and crumples to the ice. Took a couple of shifts, but he's back on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Simon Nemec | Note | Well done to use the back boards for a bounce pass to get around the forechecker. Nice play. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Simon Nemec | Summary | The best defender in his draft class, by far. Smart with the puck and without it, keeps his positioning in his own end against even the highly skilled and super fast US forwards, and creates advantages with ease. Moves the puck intelligently, gets up ice into to the rush, even getting in on the forecheck if he's up ice. Great player, future NHL top pair defender. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Tanner Dickinson | Note | Turns are wide, and he just got burned by a quicker, tighter turn radius of Nemec, who turned inside and gained a step. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Tanner Dickinson | Note | Creates good acceleration with a strong first push. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Tanner Dickinson | Note | Gets a turnover left circle, turns (again, too wide and slow) then lets go with a hard wrist shot, but the goalie was well-positioned by the time the shot was released. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Bedard's release is just sick. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Note | Short, stocky, looks balanced on his skates. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Note | Playing right wing on the second powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Note | Backchecking, but not going hard, and the Regina forward blows past him to the net for a scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Note | Changes direction well. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Note | Gets the puck behind his own net, but rushes the clearance attempt and sends it straight to the Regina defender at the point. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Note | Exiting his zone, the pass comes a bit behind him, and he turns back to receive it. I cringed, but he escaped harm. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Note | Keeps his stick on the ice, but with the puck, his arms look stiff. Hands not very active on his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Note | Chases down a puck, collects in the offensive zone right circle, pulls up, passes to the trailer, but way too hard and the puck clangs off the attackers stick. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Note | Solid hit on the boards on the forecheck. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Summary | Plays a tough game with good skating and energy. Did not generate a lot of offense in this game, and held his stick tight in his hands. He made some good passes, but in general put too much on them and was too deliberate in finding them. Will need to soften up his offensive game a good bit over the next year. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Easton Armstrong | Note | Tries a little saucer/chip pass to Bedard, but leads him just a bit too close to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Matteo Michels | Note | Shows some excellent speed to get to a loose puck. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Matteo Michels | Note | Working hard on defense down low. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Matteo Michels | Note | Controls the puck against the boards, holding off two Calgary players until help comes and he can get the puck out of the scrum to his teammate. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Matteo Michels | Note | Snap shot low through feet from the high slot. Caused problems because the shot went through a lot of trees to get on goal. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Matteo Michels | Summary | His game was most evident in the defensive end, playing hard down low. In the offensive end, he had a couple of good moments and fought hard in puck battles. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Maxim Muranov | Note | Full power strides chasing an icing. Maybe a bit too much in his shoulders, but got good speed and power through his legs. Good lower-body mechanics. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Maxim Muranov | Note | Big, good skater, looks like he wants to push offense. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |

Maxim Muranov | Note | Rips a wrist shot from the outside left circle, top far corner, goal. The goalie should have had that, but it was a great shot. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Maxim Muranov | Note | Went hard on a long run to the net, then he was struggling to get back, trying hard but not getting much from his legs. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Maxim Muranov | Note | Tried a few times to power around Svozil, but hasn't been able to turn the corner on him. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Maxim Muranov | Summary | Power forward type, goes strong with the puck to the net, constantly driving the puck up ice. Has a strong wrist shot, but did not seem overly adept at creating the space he needs to get good looks on net. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Oliver Tulk | Note | Good positioning backing out of the forecheck, intercepts. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Oliver Tulk | Note | Drops his stick, pivots to pick it up, takes a hit, absorbs the force and uses it to get upright and repositioned, then he's back into the play. That was a great show of balance. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Oliver Tulk | Note | Not afraid to get bruised up along the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Raiden Zacharias | Note | Agility gained with his edges, gets him into and out of spaces easily. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Raiden Zacharias | Note | Acceleration is good, speed is good, but not great yet. Looks like it will improve, though. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Raiden Zacharias | Note | Looks so small out there, especially since he ducks down a bit as he plays. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Raiden Zacharias | Note | A little uncertain in the defensive zone, but considering this is his third WHL game, it's not too surprising or troubling. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Ryker Evans | Note | Evans is incredibly smooth, both on his feet and with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Sean Tschigerl | Note | Decent speed, but gliding back to the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Sean Tschigerl | Note | Cheating up ice, gets burned. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Sean Tschigerl | Note | Carries the puck into the neutral zone, but loses it off his stick straight to the Regina backchecker. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Sean Tschigerl | Note | Works hard going to the offensive zone. Much harder than going back to the defensive zone, for sure. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Sean Tschigerl | Note | Top powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Sean Tschigerl | Note | Just absent in the defensive zone. He's wandering, drifts out beyond the blue line looking for a release pass, meanwhile his team is outnumbered down low. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Sean Tschigerl | Summary | There are some great aspects to his game, in particular his offensive play off the left side. Good shot, high level of scoring drive, good work with his linemates. However, at the other end, his work rate and interest level dropped considerably. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Spencer Tye | Note | So small, he looks like a fourteen-year-old out there. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Spencer Tye | Note | Playing bumper on PP2. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |

Tanner Howe | Note | Digging in and battling on the boards, fends off Fiddler-Schultz and wins the pucks. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Tanner Howe | Note | Intercepts, dangles, but his stick gets lifted right at the beginning of his shooting action. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Tanner Howe | Note | Glued to Bedard's left wing, even strength, powerplay, penalty killing. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Tanner Howe | Note | Good penalty killing shot block, out at the top, tracking, goes down to block the shot attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Tanner Howe | Note | Honest game in his own end, attentive, active, not hurried when he gets a puck. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Tanner Howe | Note | Excellent pass cross ice out to the far point. Got it through traffic, right on the tape, easy to catch. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Tanner Howe | Note | Another good pass, this one a little two-foot backhand to catch Svozil at full speed up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Tanner Howe | Summary | Interesting player with top offensive instincts and very good hands. He showed nice agility and quickness on his feet, able to change speeds to take advantage of spaces. I was impressed with his defensive-zone play and willingness to block shots, and his patience when he got the puck. This was the third of three straight games for Regina, so I want to watch him more to see him when he is bit fresher. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Brad Gardiner | Note | Two sequences early in the game, and he's gone down to the ice on both. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Brad Gardiner | Note | Highly active player. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Brady Stonehouse | Note | Drives McTavish into the Ottawa goaltender. What was he doing? | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Brady Stonehouse | Note | Next sequence, and he gets called for a clear crosschecking in the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Chris Barlas | Note | Not a lot to see in this game. Active, not overly effective. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |

Jan Mysak | Note | Drives the puck up hard through the left circle, passes back to the top of the slot, post. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Jan Mysak | Note | Has some space, walks in, fires a wrist shot just over the top of bar. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Jorian Donovan | Note | Big guy who moves well, eager to jump into the rush but he has done a good job getting back. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |

Patrick Thomas | Note | Looks like he has good speed, keeping pace on the backcheck without a ton expended energy. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Patrick Thomas | Note | Killing penalties, much more stationary than I'd like to see. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Patrick Thomas | Note | Lots of churn in his acceleration, getting so little forward movement from so many steps. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Patrick Thomas | Note | Plays almost entirely upright, okay laterally manueverability with his little cross-over steps, but nothing straight-ahead unless he has a long run. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Ryan Winterton | Note | Sharp passer, strong release gets the puck away in a hurry. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Ryan Winterton | Note | Carrying, muscles through two defenders, then slips a pass left to McTavish to set up a good scoring chance. Vision, good passing. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Ryan Winterton | Note | Does well to retreat and cover defensively on the powerplay, steals a puck, and leads quickly back into the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |

Vinzenz Rohrer | Note | North-south player who looks at his best in front of or at the side of the goal. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Long wrist shot saved, but more of an attempt to get the puck into play at the net than a true scoring attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Wouldn't mind seeing him go a little harder on the backcheck, but he's not lazing back, either. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Again, a long, sweeping wrist shot low, again looking more like an set up play than a true attempt to score. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Good one-touch pass to Tullio in the slot, but Tullio's one-timer hits a skate and goes wide. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |

Luca Marrelli | Note | Right-handed defender, uses his edges well to keep balanced and stable while skating backward, pivots are clean and smooth. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Luca Marrelli | Note | 6'1, 184, and just a couple of months past his sixteenth birthday. He's a 2024 draft-eligible. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Luca Marrelli | Note | Second-unit powerplay, scuffed a pass but recovered well and took the puck back from Edmunds. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |

Luca Marrelli | Note | Maybe a bit off his line against the attacker, but he stays composed, stick on puck, breaks up the play at the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Luca Marrelli | Note | Offensive zone draw left circle and Marrelli is lined up on the left point. He plays there on the powerplay, as well, taking advantage of his right-handed shot. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Luca Marrelli | Note | Gets out on the rush, good chance to see him skate full out. Long, powerful strides when. When this kid is 18 he's going to be a beast. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Luca Marrelli | Note | Turns his hips on the glide to open up for a shot attempt if the puck comes. When it does, he holds to get past a long-reaching stick, and puts a wrist shot short side, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Luca Marrelli | Summary | My first close viewing of Marrelli, and I was impressed. Composed, very fluid movement, offensive minded but defensively responsible. How good can this kid become? Very good, I think. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Luke Torrance | Note | Carries through the neutral zone, but his attack lane was cut off and he turned the puck over as he ran out of room. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |

Matthew Buckley | Note | A bit above average speed. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Matthew Soto | Note | A little hunched over as he skates, but he's got good mobility. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |

Matthew Soto | Note | Can't keep his edge on a hard forechecking turn, and he goes sprawling. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Matthew Soto | Note | Footrace with Buckley, a little better, but Buckley had the puck. Neither are burners. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Paul Ludwinski | Note | Nice hand-eye to bat a puck down mid-stride and then control it while moving into the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |

Paul Ludwinski | Note | Relentless, gets a steal, turns and shoots low far side, but a good kick save keeps the puck out of the net. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Paul Ludwinski | Note | Moves the puck well, but he needs to work on his shot selection, I think. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Paul Ludwinski | Note | Solid shoulder check. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Paul Ludwinski | Summary | Maybe one of the most entertaining players on the ice. He is constantly on the move, all hustle and quickness, and shows a lot of excellent hockey sense. The key lacking part of his game right now is a dangerous shot, but he has the tools to get there. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Jetting up the left wing, his stride and mechanics are so good. Strong, low, powerful. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Gets a puck while under pressure, but easily pulls it around and passes off to the wide open teammate. Processes the play so fast. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |

Shane Wright | Note | Glides out of the corner with the puck, drawing the defender with him out to the halfboards, then a sharp stop and backhand pass to the dot. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Rips a wrist shot just wide. He gets so much heat on his wrist shot. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Looks like a player trying to play across all two hundred feet of the ice instead of flashing to the net all of the time. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Drives the right dot, then puts a shot pass to the slot that generated an excellent and dangerous chance for his teammate in front. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |

Shane Wright | Note | Ridiculous! Backwards, between-his-legs, no-look, below-the-net bank shot goal. That was insane. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | It's rare to see him run out of options with the puck. He always seems able to find an open lane, create a space to make a pass. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | When he is below the goal line, supporting the puck, he seems to have any alternative outcome mapped and loaded. He can move the puck almost immediately when it comes to him. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | One of my favorite aspects of Wright's game is his constant support of the play. Always there, always supporting the puck at both ends of the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |

Alex Assadourian | Note | Small, with good skating ability and a lot of energy. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Alex Assadourian | Note | Highly active player, but he coasted there while an opponent in the slot needed coverage. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Brett Harrison | Note | Moving up ice expecting the puck to be carried out of the zone, but he wasn't really supporting the play at all. Forechecker stops the progress of the puckcarrier, and Harrison just kept skating despite being maybe ten feet from the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Brett Harrison | Note | Misses on a four-foot pass and puts the puck into his teammate's skates. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |

Calum Ritchie | Note | Does well to tie up Degrazia's stick in the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Gets a partial two-on-one, takes a hard wrist shot on the fly, but the goaltender was able to fight it off. Hard shot that was difficult to handle. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Good acceleration | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Patient with the puck when he needs to be in order to draw defenders to him. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Excellent balance and agility. Smooth on his feet and can absorb contact and retain balance. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Chokes way up on his stick so he can take in the pass coming directly to him and immediately move the puck out to his left. Deft hands, smart play. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Playing the bumper on the top powerplay unit, but the Generals are keeping the puck on the perimeter for the most part. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Summary | Has all of the tools and the work rate to be a top-six NHL forward at the least. His skating and balance may not be elite level, but it is certainly very good and likely to get better. He showed great hockey intelligence, a willingness to get to the dirty areas of the ice, and a high scoring drive. He is a top prospect. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
David Goyette | Note | Carries in, pulls up, passes down the blue line, intercepted. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
David Goyette | Note | On the powerplay rush with Stillman, carries, pulls up at the blue line, waits, then passes to an opponent. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
David Goyette | Note | Left side of a two-on-one, takes the saucer pass from Stillman and goes short-side wrist shot, goal. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Evan Konyen | Note | Excellent diagonal pass to the far side to find the driving player, who then wasn't able to convert. Too bad. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Evan Konyen | Note | Nice lead pass to give a clean offensive zone entry. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |

Kocha Delic | Note | Uses lots of little crossover steps and chopping half-strides as he moves up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Kocha Delic | Note | Good neutral zone work to steal a puck and get into the offensive zone. Maybe his best off-the-puck play in the game. The rest of the time he has been wandering a bit and inefficient. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Matthew Buckley | Note | Pass out to his own blue line too soft and was easily picked off. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Matthew Buckley | Note | Second-unit powerplay minutes. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Ty Tullio | Note | His first step is almost as good as his excellent vision and hockey sense. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Ty Tullio | Note | Second time he's taken a hard hit in order to set up offense, and this one earns him a bruised assist. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Ty Tullio | Note | Hits a rut and goes to his knees, maintains puck control, and shovels a backhanded pass to his teammate at the point. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Ty Tullio | Note | Steps into a slap shot from the high slot and crushes the post. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Danila Yurov | Note | Big. Absorbs hits well. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Danila Yurov | Note | Follows Chibrikov in, and when the rebound gets kicked out to the left dot, Yurov is there and one-times it near post and in. Hit the defender's skate, but well-timed and aggressive offensive play. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Danila Yurov | Note | Extended time when he was matched up against Henry for Switzerland. Yurov was bigger, faster, stronger. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Danila Yurov | Note | Makes good choices in the offensive zone, safe, short passes to maintain possession and apply continuous pressure on the defenders. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Danila Yurov | Note | Willing to play right at the crease, cruising the low slot area, digging in and battling at the front of the net. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Danila Yurov | Note | Accelerates to a loose puck, then backhands across the top of the crease. Should have resulted in a goal. Excellent play from Yurov. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Joel Henry | Note | Good speed (1.0 to 1.5) with some agility and quickness on display. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Joel Henry | Note | Nice read to step up and intercept a lazy pass along the offensive-zone blue line. Can't make much of it, though, as the puck rolls off his stick in the high slot. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Joel Henry | Note | Hard wrist shot from the left circle goes off the crossbar. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Lian Bichsel | Note | Excellent size. Looks so big on the ice and uses every bit of his frame to lean on and overpower opponents. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Lian Bichsel | Note | Turns back under forecheck pressure, cuts and turns, can't match the speed of the forechecker so he uses his body to protect the puck until help arrives. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Lian Bichsel | Note | Lacks straightline speed, but his first couple of steps are very good for the big man and he's agile on his skates. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Lian Bichsel | Note | After the whistle, give Michkov a chop to the back of the knee that the refs missed. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Lian Bichsel | Note | Solid hit puts the Russian forward into the bench. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |

Lian Bichsel | Note | Good example of how he uses his size: with the puck going into the defensive zone corner and his teammate about to the be the first player to it, Bichsel looks back over his shoulder, sees the forechecker closing, then alters his line and pace to set up a moving screen and allow his teammate more time to gather the puck and ready a breakout. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Keeps his feet firm and stable beneath his shoulders on the glide. Balanced and loaded. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Lowers his shoulder, power turn to the net, loses the handle. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Nifty little kick fake to freeze the defender, cuts around, puts a wrist shot on net. Had good speed with the puck through the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Chibrikov wants to attack. Not helping a lot to get the puck out of his zone, but he's ready to launch if it does. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |

Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Killing penalties, using his acceleration to close gaps out to the point. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Nice hands to collect a bouncing puck and get it quickly on net. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Egor Goriunov | Note | Tall, nimble, quick. Hyperactive feet. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Egor Goriunov | Note | Carrying the puck, shields and takes a bump from a forechecker, and then turns the contact into a spin pass up ice to keep the puck moving. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Egor Goriunov | Note | Stationary on defense there. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Egor Goriunov | Note | Carrying out of his end, sees his lane cut off, so he curls back and resets to his defenseman. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Egor Goriunov | Note | Chooses not to take a clean shot in favor of a tap pass to the slot where his teammate was well covered. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Egor Goriunov | Note | Another defensive zone shift where he essentially maintains a spot near the right side hash marks and watches the play around him. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Egor Goriunov | Note | Linear player. Not a lot of deception in his game. Looks like he'll try to beat you with his length and his determination, but not a lot else. Good hands, good maneuverability though. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Egor Goriunov | Summary | An interesting player, mostly because of his length and agility. Showed good hands at times, and protected the puck well, but there simply wasn’t much creativity to his game. Got knocked off the puck a few times, but showed good balance. His play in the defensive zone was clearly lacking and disappointing. I kept wanting to see him try to drive play, but he never did in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Ethan Gauthier | Note | Down low near the top of the crease, slams home a nice feed from the low right circle. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Ethan Gauthier | Note | Constantly in the danger area, not afraid to mix it up at the net or on the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Ethan Gauthier | Note | Tries to guide a wrist shot top corner, but misses high. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Ethan Gauthier | Summary | Always around the slot, goes hard to the net and is willing to camp out there. Good hands down low, and could make a living by banging home rebounds and backdoor passes. Would like to see more of his shooting from range before making a determination on his shooting ability. Good skater, nothing exceptional, but again, plays down low so much that his skating isn’t really an issue either way. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Hugo Primeau | Note | Strong on his edges, gives him power in turns and good balance on faceoffs. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Hugo Primeau | Note | Pushes hard laterally to accelerate away from the net and into some open space at the hash marks. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Hugo Primeau | Note | Doesn't need a lot of effort to keep pace with the transition. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Hugo Primeau | Note | Drives the right side, wrist shot top left, but the goalie gets just enough of it. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Hugo Primeau | Note | Good feeder pass to the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Hugo Primeau | Summary | Doesn’t play like a 5’8 Center. Strong on his skates, digs in on his edges to drive strength and balance. Good skater but doesn’t stand out as a speedster. Showed some offensive creative on a couple of plays, but generally did not accomplish much in the game. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joey Vetrano | Note | Keeps trying to chop the puck away while in his own zone, but he's a half-second too late each time, and the puck is moved before he can engage. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joey Vetrano | Note | Killing penalties, playing on the powerplay, getting all-situation minutes. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joey Vetrano | Note | Nice backhand, backwards pass cross crease. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joey Vetrano | Note | Goes back hard on the back check, but he didn’t have enough left to prevent the three-on-two attack against. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joey Vetrano | Note | Like his stride and speed. Very good o the move. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joey Vetrano | Summary | All-around type of player who has decent skating ability, a touch of offensive creativity, and is always around the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Forces a wrist shot at the defender's feet, trying to get the puck through, but no doing. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Center point, managing the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Hard one-time snap shot, kept it low, but saved. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Moves the puck well, but sometimes he just passes into an opponent's stick. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Definitely glides a lot more than he skates. Has good speed, though. Just moves with a near nonchalance that looks both capable and disinterested, but he's active. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Turns away from a slash and gains position, walks into space at the high slot, wrist shot saved. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Good pass through traffic. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Wrist shot looks just like his passes. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Shows slap shot from the center point, but I don't think anyone believed it was coming. It wasn't, and Roy passes off to his left. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | The half slap one timer from the right dot looks like his most dangerous shot | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Two on one, he was off the puck and did well to measure his pace and keep himself in a good spot relationally to the puck carrier. Give and go, his pass popped up and his teammate batted it into the net. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Virtually no physicality in his game. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Summary | The high points of his game are his patient vision and passing ability. He'll hold the puck until the good option appears, then move the puck accordingly. Unfortunately, if the option doesn't appear, he tends to force a play and often turned the puck over because of it. Did not show much of a shot other than the one-time snap shot which is a weapon. Lackluster in his own end. He will need to amp up his physical play and be willing to get his jersey dirty as he moves up levels. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Justin Larose | Note | Centering the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Justin Larose | Note | Crashes the net, puts a rebound off the post. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Justin Larose | Note | Tries to chop a puck away from Joshua Roy, and in doing so gives up position. Roy turns him and goes to the slot for a clean look on goal. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Justin Larose | Summary | Played a hard game, constantly engaged, and looked mostly like a player who has been in the league for a while rather than a 16yo rookie. Took on bigger players in the defensive zone and held his own. Interesting player to keep an eye on for development, especially in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Raphael Blouin | Note | Keeps his stick down and active on defense. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Raphael Blouin | Note | Nice drop step to gain inside position at the opposing crease. Again, has his stick down and ready. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Zachary Lessard | Note | Penalty killing, hops to a loose puck and clears. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Zachary Lessard | Note | Quick stick, clears the puck again. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Zachary Lessard | Note | Blocks a slap shot. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Zachary Lessard | Note | Pins his man to the boards with some force. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Zachary Lessard | Note | Good crisp pass to the far blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Zachary Lessard | Summary | I liked him as a young defenseman who is obviously still adjusting to the pace in the Q. Plays a quick game, with a good jump in acceleration and lateral movement which allows him to be the first player to the loose pucks, and then his quick hands get the puck up and out of his zone in a hurry. Quality passing on the breakout. Positionally good, got pushed around a bit but fought to regain inside position and used his feet to recover when necessary. Had he been born a week or so later he would be a 2023 draft eligible. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Calem Mangone | Note | He lives in the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Calem Mangone | Note | Converts a puck scramble to a pass for a good chance. Again, from the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Calem Mangone | Note | Excellent look and the spinning backhand to find the only player on the ice with a clean look at net. Brilliant assist, that. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Calem Mangone | Note | Outworks and gets under the defender in the board battle, comes away with the puck, and looks like he has only scoring on his mind. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Calem Mangone | Note | Strong wrist shot from the left point (yeah, he's all over the place now) almost beats the goaltender. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Calem Mangone | Note | Intercepts just inside his own blue line, generates a clean zone entry the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Calem Mangone | Note | Puckhandling, then flips a little backhand sauce. Smooth and deceptive passer with excellent vision. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ethan Martin | Note | Curls to the slot without the puck, pass comes in, one-touch flick into the net for his first OHL goal. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ethan Martin | Note | Tall, good frame. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ethan Martin | Note | Big strides, quality on his pivots. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ethan Martin | Note | Put a little too much on that lead pass, and the puck goes down toward the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ethan Martin | Note | Opens his hips to receive the pass, then swivels back to attack skating. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Matyas Sapovaliv | Note | Top powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Matyas Sapovaliv | Note | Centering, and playing decent positionally in the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Matyas Sapovaliv | Note | Penalty kill time, too. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Matyas Sapovaliv | Note | Drives left to right below the goal line, steps out at the crease, hits the crossbar. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Matyas Sapovaliv | Note | Sneaky wrist shot low. Goalie's pad stops it, but that jumped off of Sapovaliv's stick. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Matyas Sapovaliv | Note | Super cutback with the puck. Left a spray of snow and the defender behind. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Matyas Sapovaliv | Note | Played a crap-ton of all-situations hockey in this game. Played 25+ minutes, for sure. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Nicholas De Angelis | Note | Loose puck in the slot in the defensive zone, tries to pull it in and go up ice, but a Saginaw player pokes it first, and De Angelis is horribly out of position. No damage, but that could have been costly. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Nicholas De Angelis | Note | Takes a great angle through his zone to cut off the attacking lane of the far side winger. Well played. Did that without sacrificing his weakside coverage. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Tall, long legs, but good on his edges, tight turn radius with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Hits the ice on a line change, leads the rush up the middle. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Makes good first passes out of his zone. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Smooth and composed with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Mechanics look top notch. Very good speed that will continue to improve. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Good penalty-killing stick lift to secure the puck and clear down the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Strands his man up in the neutral zone. Maybe a touch late, and a touch high, but that was hard. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Positioned well in his zone, intercepts, passes off, joins the rush. Takes a pass at the offensive blue line, splits two Windsor players with speed, slides the puck around the defender and picks it up again right at the top of the crease. Forehand, backhand, net. Beauty of a goal. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Ends the game by blocking a shot to kill the 6-on-4 advantage in a one-goal game. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ryan Abraham | Note | Tries to scoop a loose puck but overskates and leaves it available in his own zone. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ryan Abraham | Note | Weak on the puck, and the Saginaw forward takes it away from him and goes up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ryan Abraham | Note | Nice hard turn on his edges. Better on his edges that straight ahead. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ryan Abraham | Note | Tends toward short, choppy strides, but he's mobile and very active. He looked sluggish at the beginning of the game, but he's picked up his effort late in the game. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ryan Abraham | Note | Just found some speed, clean zone entry, then fed a hard pass to the far circle, goal. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Sebastian Gervais | Note | Searching for a place in the defensive zone, moving well but looking a bit confused. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Sebastian Gervais | Note | Wins the ozone draw back to Mintyukov then goes to the net, but no rebound. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Wylie Birkett | Note | Slow through the neutral zone. Nice curls on his edges, though. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Anthony Wilson | Note | Shows good speed as he backchecks on the speedy Stankoven. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Anthony Wilson | Note | Works hard at both ends. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Brayden Schuurman | Note | Puck just out of reach as he tries to steal a pass, then he's off balance and out of position. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Brayden Schuurman | Note | Sweeping one-timer snap shot, on net, difficult for the goaltender because of the lengthy release point. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Brayden Schuurman | Note | Speed without the puck, slices through and takes a pass for a clean look, but the puck rolls off his stick. He exploded through the neutral zone to start that chance. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Brayden Schuurman | Note | He's long, but he's not using his reach to protect the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Brayden Schuurman | Note | He mostly skates at a leisurely pace, but then he shows the crazy acceleration and he's gone. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Brayden Schuurman | Note | Loose puck, gets it, instant shot just wide. He converts pucks into shots extremely fast. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Caedan Bankier | Note | Long-legged strides. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Caedan Bankier | Note | Leans deep into his edges on turns. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Caedan Bankier | Note | Backhand attempt on the rebound, from the slot, sort of lackluster attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Caedan Bankier | Note | Bumper on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Caedan Bankier | Note | Does a good job to cover the left point as the defender pinches in, but then gets forced to play defense as the puck gets cleared, and he did not look comfortable in that role, at all. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Caedan Bankier | Note | Goes hard to the net, drops his shoulder, draws the overtime tripping penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Carter Briltz | Note | Below average speed up ice. Just not much power at all. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Dylan Sydor | Note | Forechecking, takes a turnover and directs it on net. Good footwork to create the opportunity. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Dylan Sydor | Note | Easy speed, moves around the ice with grace. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Fraser Minten | Note | Has the space to turn away and keep possession, but tries to go through the forechecker instead. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Fraser Minten | Note | Tries a far post backhand shot, when he'd have been better to pass left instead of that low-probability shot. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Josh Pillar | Note | Wrist shot, low glove, saved easily. Shot was from near the top of the circle. He's going to need to throw some fire on that if he wants to beat the nettie from there. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Josh Pillar | Note | Spinning pass out to the center point of the powerplay. Makes the pass, but it took a long time and the penalty killer gets out to pressure center point, takeaway. Sort of clumsily played by Pillar. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Josh Pillar | Note | Does well on the backcheck to take a good defensive position, take away the passing lane, and blocking the pass when the winger tries it anyway. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Josh Pillar | Note | Carries to the blue line, self-pass off the boards, wheels behind the net, ends up surrounded by three penalty killers and he's forced to dish back out to center ice. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |

Josh Pillar | Note | Nice shoulder check into the puck carrier. Doesn't knock him off the puck, but certainly takes him off the line of attack. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Logan Stankoven | Note | Best player in the game. Not watching him, but he keeps making play after play. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |

Mats Lindgren | Note | Plays the center point on the top powerplay squad. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |

Matthew Seminoff | Note | Quick off the jump, accelerates to the loose puck, strong on his edges. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Matthew Seminoff | Note | Takes a big hit on the end boards in order to make the pass to the crease. Great chance, gutsy play. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |

Matthew Seminoff | Note | Agility is excellent. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Matthew Seminoff | Note | Carries down the rightwing boards, the defender goes belly down, and Seminoff waits, pulls back around him, then fires a dandy cross-crease pass. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Matthew Seminoff | Note | Rings the post from the high slot. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |

Ben Bujold | Note | At the net front, good balance fighting for position. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Ben Bujold | Note | His straight line speed is absolutely correctible. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Ben Bujold | Note | Also killing penalties. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Ben Bujold | Note | Rips a cross-ice pass, but it was too hard for the right wing to handle, and it bounced off his blade and into the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Charlie Paquette | Note | Shoulder shove against the puck carrier, just finishing a bit as the pass was made. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Charlie Paquette | Note | In his own end, turns to go after a puck, and he took three steps before he was going anywhere. The opposing defender at the point easily wins the race to the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Charlie Paquette | Note | Following the play a lot more than driving it, at both ends of the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Colton Smith | Note | Big guy, not the fastest skater though, for sure. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |

Colton Smith | Note | Yeah, he lacks footspeed. Strong on his skates, but not much speed or maneuverability. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Danny Zhilken | Note | Skating looks suspect. Lots of shoulder swing side to side, below average speed, at least on that opening shift. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Danny Zhilken | Note | His turns and stops are good, just that his straightline skating needs help. Achievable though, I think. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Danny Zhilken | Note | Good crossover steps, agile. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |

Easton Cowan | Note | Chokes up to take a pass that was close in his feet, collects, and keeps the play alive. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Easton Cowan | Note | Bouncing puck, he taps it down, makes a quick pass. The kid has good hands, no doubt. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Easton Cowan | Note | Relentless forecheck, tracking two Guelph players back and forth on the end boards. Showing great ability to stop and start. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |

Jake Karabela | Note | Nice job to lift the puck and put it through the crease to Pastujov for the powerplay goal. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Jake Karabela | Note | Changes direction so well with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Jake Karabela | Note | Hyper attentive, which combined with his feet, means that he covers little changes in play quickly. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Landon Sim | Note | Battling low behind the net. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |

Matthew Poitras | Note | Chops at Max McCue's stick and lets him slide past, leaving him all alone in front of the net. McCue gets a pass and scores with Poitras a good meter behind him. That was shoddy defensive play. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Matthew Poitras | Note | Tries a long pass back towards center point, but intercepted. Up a goal, eight minutes left, I'd rather see him playing that towards the corner than out towards the point, into traffic. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Ruslan Gazizov | Note | Tries a pass to the crease, but scuffs it. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |

Ruslan Gazizov | Note | Gathers a loose puck, sets up behind the net, waits, waits, turns, turns, finds Colton Smith at the post, goal. Watching back, Gazizov spotted Smith before he made that last turn, and in fact used that move to set up the pass. Excellent awareness. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Ruslan Gazizov | Note | Hard hit plants Pastujov at the red line. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |

Ruslan Gazizov | Note | Chips the puck high into the zone, then he's the first one to it. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |

Aidan Castle | Note | Right side on the top powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Niagara (OHL) | 11/12/2021 | 11/18/2021 | 10247 |
Aidan Castle | Note | Passes from the circle out to Fimis in the high slot. Not perfect, but it was a good look. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Niagara (OHL) | 11/12/2021 | 11/18/2021 | 10247 |
Anthony Tabak | Note | Backchecking, uses his size to seal off the puck carrier, then lifts and steals and passes back to start an attack. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Niagara (OHL) | 11/12/2021 | 11/18/2021 | 10247 |
Anthony Tabak | Note | He's a got a hard wrist shot, gets all that mass behind it. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Niagara (OHL) | 11/12/2021 | 11/18/2021 | 10247 |
Anthony Tabak | Note | Big diesel engine skater, with crafty hands. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Niagara (OHL) | 11/12/2021 | 11/18/2021 | 10247 |
Anthony Tabak | Note | Looks like a player poised to have the kind of monster overager OHL breakout season that gets him signed by a NHL team. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Niagara (OHL) | 11/12/2021 | 11/18/2021 | 10247 |
Anthony Tabak | Note | Uses his size to take up space, but he's not physically imposing. He's not throwing his body around. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Niagara (OHL) | 11/12/2021 | 11/18/2021 | 10247 |
Beau Akey | Note | Pins his man to the boards, and there was no escaping. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Niagara (OHL) | 11/12/2021 | 11/18/2021 | 10247 |
Beau Akey | Note | Over-extends on an arm-check attempt, but his feet allow him to stick with Ethan Sims and restrict his chances, forces a difficult shot, wide. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Niagara (OHL) | 11/12/2021 | 11/18/2021 | 10247 |
Beau Akey | Note | Skates around forecheckers, protecting the puck, enters the neutral zone and then hands off to Porco. Akey then follows to the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Niagara (OHL) | 11/12/2021 | 11/18/2021 | 10247 |
Beau Akey | Note | Nice subtle lean back to take away a skating lane and buy a step for this teammate to gain puck possession. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Niagara (OHL) | 11/12/2021 | 11/18/2021 | 10247 |

Isaac Enright | Note | Good edgework skater, likes to go heel-to-heel. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Niagara (OHL) | 11/12/2021 | 11/18/2021 | 10247 |

Bryce McConnell-Barker | Summary | On a typically fast and skilled Greyhounds team, McConnell-Barker playing on the second line, was consistently involved in the play when he was on the ice. He has very good acceleration and pushes pace whenever possible, either on the forecheck or in off-the-puck transition through the neutral zone. He drew attention on every shift, and offensively showed good ice awareness and passing ability, A play-driving, 6'1 Center with speed and work rate is a commodity that NHL teams look for. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Dalyn Wakely | Note | Great pass out of the offensive zone left corner to the top of the circle. Cleared the sticks of heavy traffic, set up a shot. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Ethan Montroy | Note | Reverse check with his shoulder, but he left the puck sitting there. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Justin Cloutier | Note | Crunching hit against the Battalion forward who had pulled up at the red line. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Justin Cloutier | Note | Quick, physical, high-energy player. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Justin Cloutier | Note | Hustles, but could improve on his line efficiency and positioning that would allow less effort and better results. Then he could focus that hustle more. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Kirill Kudryavtsev | Note | Looks like he's working really hard to achieve fairly normal acceleration, | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Kirill Kudryavtsev | Note | Goes to his knees to try to block off a lane from the North Bay forward attacking along the goal line. Not sure why he chose that method, but okay. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Kirill Kudryavtsev | Note | Good gap control against the oncoming foe, holds his position, then closes and pokes the puck away without sacrificing positioning. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Liam Arnsby | Note | Good backchecking angle to gain position on the puck carrier and force him to turn the puck back toward the blue line and its turned over. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Liam Arnsby | Note | Not the hardest pass, but the vision was outstanding. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Liam Arnsby | Note | Looks like he's having a hard time identifying his defensive responsibility on his shift. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Liam Arnsby | Note | Puckwatching in his own end, gets caught in no man's land and the guy he should have been covering takes a pass from behind the net and buries it. He was by the dot but Arnsby was still at the goal line. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Liam Arnsby | Note | Battalion has possession in the offensive zone, and he goes off for a change, slow and looking disinterested in getting back to the bench. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Liam Arnsby | Note | Wearing a "C" but I haven't seen much in this game that shows me he leads by example. At least not in the defensive zone or through his body language. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Liam Arnsby | Note | Commentary announcer just said "Arnsby had been very quiet tonight," so maybe just a bad game for him? | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Liam Arnsby | Note | Spinning backhand pass to his left, not spectacular but good. Follows the shooters attempt to the crease and bangs home rebound. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Liam Arnsby | Note | Diligent in keeping his stick on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Liam Arnsby | Note | Sweeps a loose puck on net. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Liam Arnsby | Note | Puts a leg out and trips the puck carrier. Dangerous play. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Liam Arnsby | Summary | Arnsby was hit and miss in the game. At times, he looked like a quality offensive center. At others, he looked like his heart just was not in the game. I'm going to give him a pass and revisit him in a month or so. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Owen Outwater | Note | Long, coltish legs. Looks like he just had those things attached and he hasn't quite incorporated them fully yet. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Ty Nelson | Note | Skating looks excellent with dexterity and high-level ability to change direction. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Ty Nelson | Note | Rifles a diagonal pass red line to blue line, through congestion, spot on the tape. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Ty Nelson | Note | Drifted away into his own corner, expecting his defensive partner to send the puck over, but a Soo player took it away. Nelson should have been tighter to his net there, I think. Instead, the Soo player has full possession unmarked behind the North Bay net. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Ty Nelson | Note | Big hit levels Savard at the red line. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Ty Nelson | Note | Smaller defender. He'll need to really become a position-savvy player. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Ty Nelson | Note | Good wrist shot from the halfboards, but hit a body in front. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Ty Nelson | Note | Gets hung out to dry on a two-on-one against, and he just flops down on the ice too early to make a difference, and the Soo get an excellent scoring chance, Yuck, | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Ty Nelson | Note | Uses his speed to get up into the rush. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Ty Nelson | Note | Drives the puck up the left boards, curls to the net just before the goal line, then shovels the puck at the goaltender's feet. The short rebound out front goes to Petrov, goal. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Ty Nelson | Summary | The Battalion's top offensive defenseman. He stands just 5'10, but weighs nearly 200 pounds and moves that weight around the ice with ease. He may be a work in progress, trying to build up better game intelligence in the defensive zone, but he plays with an edge, transitions the puck extremely well, and wants to get in on the attack. Sixteen games into the season, he is nearly a point-per-game player and has more than double the points than the second-highest-scoring defender on the roster. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Beau Akey | Note | Skates extremely well, fast in a couple of steps, slides up and back, four-way mobility is swift and smooth. Good command of his body. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Beau Akey | Note | Another example of his poise and mobility: steps up to a loose puck, snags it and reverses, then turns away from the forechecker and makes a perfect bank pass off the end boards behind his goal, hitting his defensive partner perfectly. Calm, wise, efficient. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Beau Akey | Note | Sets and shoots, hard wrist shot blocked. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Beau Akey | Note | Akey is a gem. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Beau Akey | Note | Carries through traffic. He's slippery, and enters the zone in possession. Nice play. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Beau Akey | Note | Long wrist shot on net. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Beau Akey | Summary | Did not start the game with Akey on my list of players to focus on, but by mid-game he was forcing me to watch him. He does everything well, and looks like a truly promising prospect. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Beau Jelsma | Note | Above average speed, but at the front of the net he was getting moved around fairly easily by the defenseman. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Beau Jelsma | Note | Jumps on a loose puck, steps into the slot, whiffs on the shot attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Beau Jelsma | Note | Poor balance and skate strength | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Beau Jelsma | Note | Cuts left to the high slot, wrists it wide short side, but the shot was humming. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Beau Jelsma | Summary | He had moments when he looked great, and moments when he looked average. Good mobility, but lacks strength when it comes to battling against defenders for position. He got knocked off his feet several times in the game. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Brandt Clarke | Note | Clarke is easily the best player on the ice in this game. So assured, a constant presence, always dangerous. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Chris Grisolia | Note | Maybe average speed, keeps both hands on his stick, swings his shoulders, getting no help from his arms at all. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Chris Grisolia | Note | Beaver tails, gets the puck, one-timer from the left hash marks, saved. The puck came to his front foot but he still got a lot on that shot. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Chris Grisolia | Note | Good angle on the backcheck, takes a line to cut off of the forward driving the middle lane. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
David Goyette | Note | Picks up speed with the puck, drives into traffic, then pulls up looking for better options. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
David Goyette | Note | Strong pushes generate acceleration, but his turns are wide and slower. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
David Goyette | Note | Anticipates the play, cuts through the slot and makes the interception. Good read. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
David Goyette | Note | Goes to the net, gets a pass, tic-tac-toe, goal. He moved that puck quickly to the scoring option. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
David Goyette | Note | Decisive with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
David Goyette | Note | Active stick pokes the puck off the attacker's blade just inside the defensive blue line. Then Goyette pushes hard through the neutral zone to create a three-on-one, slows at the top of the circle keeping the goaltender honest, then fires a deceptive pass far post, but Derbidge can't convert. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
David Goyette | Note | Trailer on a three-man attack. Puck on his left, passed to him, and he flips a quick pass to Stillman on his right for a goal into a wide-open net. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
David Goyette | Summary | Goyette has excellent hockey sense and in a game in which his team looked lackluster, he kept making plays and eventually carried his team into at least some kind of contest. He showed the kind of awareness that allowed him to make fast reads and passes to set up teammates for easy scoring chances. He's a clever player with a bright future. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Evan Konyen | Note | Good speed, nice form. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Evan Konyen | Note | Want to see more hustle from him (and his entire team, for that matter). | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Evan Konyen | Note | Drives the puck into the zone, splits two defenders with nice handling, then a setup backhand pass for the assist. Best Wolves play by far in the first twelve minutes of the game. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Evan Konyen | Note | Another nice pass, this one a half-spin backhand to move the puck around the defender to a more open linemate. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Evan Konyen | Note | At the crease, but had he taken a step to his left he would have been a screen. Instead, the goalie sees the shot the whole way, and makes a save directing the puck out to safety. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Evan Konyen | Note | In the defensive zone, he's getting out to the point to pressure pucks. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Evan Konyen | Note | Takes a bad pass into his feet and kicks it onto his stick, then one-times it far post, low, but the goaltender got his toe on it. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Evan Konyen | Summary | If not for Konyen and Goyette, the Wolves would have fared much worse than even the lopsided score represents. Konyen played hard all game, making plays at both ends of the ice, trying to generate. He was creative with the puck and diligent without it. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Hunter Haight | Note | Smooth crossovers to generate some diagonal movement, then a pivot to straight ahead that looked a little bit awkward, but not problematic. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Hunter Haight | Note | Powerplay, left side, shows soft hands in corralling a puck coming off the end boards, then turning it out to the center point in one fluid movement. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Hunter Haight | Note | Nice, sharp one-time pass through a lane to the far-side circle. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Hunter Haight | Note | Backchecking, he calls out a coverage for his defender who doesn't listen, leaving Haight to cover two men in front. Haight tries to cover both, and gets a partial tip as he pokes at the puck, but not enough to prevent the goal. He tried hard, there, but his defenseman left him hanging. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Hunter Haight | Note | Smooth on his skates, adjusts speed as needed, good turns and agility. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Hunter Haight | Note | Decent hit on the forecheck. Nothing huge, just finishing it as he should have. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Hunter Haight | Note | Hard pass into his feet, but he digs it out cleanly. Well done. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Hunter Haight | Note | Stops on a dime. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Hunter Haight | Note | Attentive on defense, doing little things to make a difference: covering low, stick in lanes, backchecking efficiently. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Hunter Haight | Summary | A solid two-way player with scoring drive, some physical play when called for, very good skating, and keen awareness. He looks like a future captain, and is deserving of his first-round prospect status. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Nick DeGrazia | Note | Lazy turnover at his defensive halfboards. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Nick DeGrazia | Note | On the powerplay, trying to get out of his zone, has a covered man on his left and about 50 feet of open ice in front of him. Decides to pass left and the puck is easily intercepted. Why? | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Nick DeGrazia | Note | Weak shot on net. Down by three in the third period. Put something behind that, man. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Ryan Del Monte | Note | Dangles, dishes, gets the assist. Not the best defensive play in front of him, but that was a good pass well delivered. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Ryan Del Monte | Note | Wrist shot from the hash marks goes over the net | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Ryan Del Monte | Note | Good deflection down, goal. He was in position, facing the shooter, good hand-eye tip. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Brayden Yager | Note | Swift, smooth acceleration. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Brayden Yager | Note | Trailer on a three-on-one, gets the pass and he buries it top shelf. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Brayden Yager | Note | Another chance from the slot, this one saved, but barely. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Brayden Yager | Note | In on the left side of a two-on-one. Alarie sets him up, and Yager blasts a huge one-timer for his second goal of the game. Likes how he opened his hips to the chance and kept his pace laterally as the puck came to him. Great shot. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Carson Lambos | Note | So refined in his play. Smart, uses all of his tools as he needs them, equally capable at both ends. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Carson Lambos | Note | Perfect 80-foot pass to lead Geekie into the offensive zone at full stride. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Plasters his man into the boards, separates him from the puck, and Winnipeg takes control. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Loose puck at the goal mouth. Geekie tries to clear it away, but Baco was stronger on the puck and pushes it into the net. Geekie needed to bear down on that. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Hard wrist shot through traffic, but just wide short side. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Conor Geekie | Note | What Geekie lacks in speed he makes up for with strength and power. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Geekie hasn't had a lot of room in the game, but he's working hard, pushing play. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Nice snap shot from wide at the left circle, saved but dangerous. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
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 |
Evan Friesen | Note | Loping back through the neutral zone as Moose Jaw attacks the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Evan Friesen | Note | Wrestling for territory in front of the opponent's net. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Evan Friesen | Note | Tries a riskier, long pass up the boards instead of the shorter, lower-risk pass to the center dot. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Jagger Firkus | Note | Attempts to clear up the boards, but the puck died at the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Jagger Firkus | Note | Has good power in his stride. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Jagger Firkus | Note | Getting a lot of touches. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Jagger Firkus | Note | Nice chance to see him go full out up ice. His mechanics are sound and he builds up a lot of speed. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Jagger Firkus | Note | He's been everywhere in this game. High work rate player with speed and tenacity up and down the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Matthew Savoie | Note | Pokes a loose puck up ice then beats both defenders to it deep in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Matthew Savoie | Note | Using one hand on the stick while fending off the defenseman with this other arm, yet he is still able to use his wrist strength and make a nice, one-handed pass in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Matthew Savoie | Note | Excellent passer. Hands are soft, his passes on the tape and easy to receive. Lovely stuff. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Matthew Savoie | Note | Plays like he is fully confident that he is the best player on the ice. Composed, quiet game with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Matthew Savoie | Note | Smooth one-time slapshot hits traffic, but the fundamentals were strong. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Matthew Savoie | Note | His ability to pass off the puckhandle makes his shot more deceptive as he closes on goal. No one can cheat shot when he has the puck on his stick. His vision and hands are so good that he just freezes everyone in place. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Matthew Savoie | Note | Hands are so lively and agile. Bouncing puck in front had no chance when it landed within Savoie's reach. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Matthew Savoie | Note | Hustling through the neutral zone, a chip pass bounces to him, and he chokes way up on his stick to get better control. He brings the puck down and enters the offensive zone at full speed and with full puck possession. What a play. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Matthew Savoie | Note | Puck bounces off the end boards. Savoie closes to the goal line and one-times the bounce down the goal line and into the net. Wow! | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Matthew Savoie | Summary | Excellent player. His passing and vision are near elite level. Skates exceptionally well, and alters pace as necessary to keep defenders guessing. As mentioned, his ability to pass instantly during puckhandling, equally adept forehand or backhand, freezes defenders and goalies and forces them to try to protect against both pass and shot, meaning they are often caught between choices and have a hard time defending either. High iq player in total control of the his game. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Michael Milne | Note | Slick and agile, kicks a puck to his stick while skating backwards and makes a clean ten-foot pass. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Michael Milne | Note | Acceleration is very upright, with a lot of swing in his shoulders. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Michael Milne | Note | Leave the zone early and gets rewarded with a great head-man pass, allowing him to get a partial breakaway. Big shoulder save deflects his wrist shot up over the bar. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Michael Milne | Note | He almost stands completely upright when he accelerates. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Michael Milne | Note | Turns are very good, but he tends to trail his outside foot a lot. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Michael Milne | Note | Wins the puck in the corner, carries behind the net, then hits Orzeck at the right dot for the tying goal. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Michael Milne | Summary | Milne has a good skill set and works hard on every shift. He shows good hockey sense and above average speed, but his acceleration mechanics need work. Edges are quite good and his agility is very good. He went undrafted last year, but that will not happen again. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Nathan Pilling | Note | Good size, a sturdy frame, and he'll take a hit to make the play. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Cruz Lucius | Note | Finds a gaping hole in the middle of the Muskegon defense and wires a long diagonal pass to Cooley for an excellent chance. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Cruz Lucius | Note | Struggling to keep up with the transition, but he was at the end of his shift. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Cruz Lucius | Note | Gathers a long pass at the blue line, drives to the top of the left circle, fakes shot, pulls the puck around the defender to get inside, then a back pass to McGroarty for a beauty chance, blocked. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Cruz Lucius | Note | Skating on a diagonal through the neutral zone, pass comes but he misses it, and it's through to the end boards for an icing. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Cruz Lucius | Note | Showing off his agility with an excellent spin move off the puck to gain advantageous offensive zone positioning. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Cruz Lucius | Note | At the bumper spot on the powerplay, gets a backhanded chance at a rebound from a Cooley slapshot, and he puts it away. Good, hardnosed, heavy traffic play. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Cruz Lucius | Summary | Plays a steady game but he still has some rough edges that need polishing. His skating is okay generally, though he is lacking speed when he pushes up ice. Showed very good hands and good on-ice awareness. I like that he will go hard to the net with and without the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Emil Jarventie | Note | Taking up his spot at the top of the crease on the powerplay, makes a nice deflection up under the bar to tie the game late in the third. That's where his goals will come from, not from the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Emil Jarventie | Note | I'd like to see Jarventie and Cooley go head to head on a puck chase. Both are fast and elusive. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Emil Jarventie | Note | Opened up for the incoming pass, takes it, finds Larson on the far post, but the US netminder saves. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Frank Nazar | Note | Beavertailing going up the ice, but there was simply no passing lane to him. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Frank Nazar | Note | Bad choice to backhand a pass off the defensive zone halfboards, and he puts it right on the tape of the forechecking Muskegon player. The goalie bailed him out, though. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Frank Nazar | Note | Enters the zone on the powerplay, goes to the net, puts a fairly soft backhand on target that the goalie smothers. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Frank Nazar | Note | Odd man chance, tries to saucer the puck to the cutter, but hits a defender. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Frank Nazar | Note | Enters the zone again, tries to saucer one to the opposite side, hits a defender. Rinse. Repeat. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Frank Nazar | Note | Nazar can skate, but his choices with the puck are confusing. There he created a two-on-one, but held too long and when he did pass it off, he hit the back foot of the winger. Granted, the winger should have pulled up, but that could have been managed better. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Frank Nazar | Summary | Lots of speed and some good scoring ability, but his puck management in this game was questionable at best. He made too many unforced errors, but if he can clear that up he has a nice skillset. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Uses quick crossover steps to accelerate backwards. Good mechanics going forward, too. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Closes on the puck carrier, then harasses him with sticklift attempts. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Tries to chip a puck off the boards to go around a forechecker, but the puck doesn't make it through, and he overskated the play, giving Muskegon a turnover and a odd-numbered chance. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Isaac Howard | Note | He shows some physicality. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Jake Richard | Note | Carrying up the left boards, bobbles the puck a bit, but muscles through all the way deep into the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Jake Richard | Note | Gets called for interference as Mehlenbacher was skating the puck into the offensive zone. His penalty killed a decent attack. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Logan Cooley | Note | Puck comes out of the corner, and Cooley collects it near the left dot and puts it hard on net. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Logan Cooley | Note | Compact turns and good push as he comes out of it. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Logan Cooley | Note | Swipes the puck from a defender, turns, steps in on goal, and beats the netminder five hole. Great individual effort. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Logan Cooley | Note | He's fast. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Logan Cooley | Note | One shift: comes on the ice as Muskegon is working through the neutral zone. Cooley goes hard back to cover on defense, then as the US defender gains possession, Cooley goes hard up ice, hits the blue line first and tracks down the chipped-in puck. Carries the puck behind the net, around to the right halfboards, passes to the left circle then continues out around the top. Curls back to the left point, then to the center point where he takes a pass, splits two opponents at the top of the left circle, backhands to McGroarty in the slot. Goal. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Logan Cooley | Note | Receives the pass with soft hands, puck on his hip, loaded for shot or pass. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Logan Cooley | Note | I'd like to see Jarventie and Cooley go head to head on a puck chase. Both are fast and elusive. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Logan Cooley | Note | Uses his burst to close on a loose puck in the high slot of his defensive zone. He beat the Muskegon player to the puck and moves it to safety to the wing. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Logan Cooley | Summary | Probably the best player in the game, with speed, a wide variety of effective shot selection that he used well and excellent vision. He was constantly on the move, as typified by the shift description in the notes (which was not an abnormal type of shift for Cooley). He is a leader on the ice, if for no other reason than the puck finds him all the time. All of the play goes through him. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Owen Mehlenbacher | Note | Beats the defenseman to the loose puck, but overskates and the US start a breakout. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Owen Mehlenbacher | Note | Long strides gets him places faster than it looks like he will. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Owen Mehlenbacher | Note | Average speed, stiff play in general. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Ryan Chesley | Note | Hard hit on the boards. Didn't get full contact, but definitely got enough. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Ryan Chesley | Note | A bit out of position after a line change, but he digs in, stays with the play, and eventually gets between the puck and his goal and breaks up the play. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Ryan Chesley | Note | Hard shoulder check in the corner. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Ryan Chesley | Note | Playing right point on the top powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Ryan Chesley | Note | Hard wrist shot wide. He's not afraid to pull the trigger. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Ryan Chesley | Note | Bobbles the puck at the blue line on the powerplay and gives up a breakaway. He worked hard to try to get back and was able to add some back pressure. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Seamus Casey | Note | Effortless edgework skater. He has light footwork and accelerates laterally and straight ahead quickly and with ease. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Seamus Casey | Note | Has the puck at the left point, and a penalty killer dives out to try to poke the puck away from him, but Casey holds and patiently waits, then passes off. Calm. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Seamus Casey | Note | Top penalty kill unit, blocks a shot by taking up a superior position. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Seamus Casey | Note | Keeps a good gap, and gets his stick on the puck to poke it off the shooter's stick at the release point. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Tyler Dunbar | Note | Gets a loose puck, goes to the slot, makes a lateral move and wrists one past the goaltender. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Tyler Dunbar | Note | Better with his edges and maneuverability than he is at straight ahead skating. In a straight line, he takes short strides and lifts his feet too high. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Deagan McMillan | Note | Lazy backhand pass straight to an opposing player. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Henrik Rybinski | Note | He's the kind of skater who accelerates like he's just taking a step or two and suddenly he's ahead of everyone on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Henrik Rybinski | Note | Tries to poke a puck from a board battle. I'd rather see him engage there instead. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Henrik Rybinski | Note | Tries to center to the high slot, but the pass was read and intercepted. Not his best option. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Henrik Rybinski | Note | Nice back pass to set up a scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Henrik Rybinski | Note | Little touch pass to the cutter in the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Henrik Rybinski | Note | Killing penalties, intercepts and launches an attack. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Henrik Rybinski | Note | Rybinski's experience shines when he has the puck, making small, patient, knowledgeable plays. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Henrik Rybinski | Note | Wrist shot wide. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Henrik Rybinski | Note | Reaching instead of defending. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Henrik Rybinski | Summary | The experienced, quality offensive play is his strength. He makes smart passes in the offensive zone, moving the puck to the advantaged player. Off the puck, his danger level decreases as he tends to make more stick plays than engaged defensive play. Little physical game, at all. Skating is smooth, with good agility and acceleration. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Jake Sloan | Note | Spent an entire shift just coasting around, watching the play. He looks completely disinterested. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Jake Sloan | Summary | Almost no notes taken on his play because I was generally dissatisfied with his lack of intensity or drive. He floated on almost every shift, gliding around in space at both ends, waiting for something, but I'm not sure exactly what. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Jordan Gustafson | Note | Playing the right side on the top powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Jordan Gustafson | Note | Curls in at the right dot, tries a wrist shot but whiffs completely. So strange. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Jordan Gustafson | Note | Doesn't bring his feet back all the way, so he has a very wide-footed stride. It cuts down his straight-line speed considerably. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Jordan Gustafson | Note | Nice diagonal pass in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Jordan Gustafson | Note | Centers to no one. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Jordan Gustafson | Note | Wrist shot from the left circle looks like it was going wide, but hit a defender in front and deflected in. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Jordan Gustafson | Note | One-timer for his second goal of the game. This one was hard and clean. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Jordan Gustafson | Summary | He was hit and miss in the game, showing very skating ability and some offensive flair. However, he made plenty of mistakes, too. Given a couple of years, he should improve to be a viable NHL prospect, but there's work to be done. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Kevin Korchinski | Note | He can really move, fast up ice, leans heavy into his edges on the turn, power backwards. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Kevin Korchinski | Note | Carries the puck into the offensive zone up the left boards, pulls up with the puck and shakes the defender completely to gain space. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Kevin Korchinski | Note | Tons of composure in his game. He plays with control and tempo at both ends. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Kevin Korchinski | Note | Passes are accurate, even over long distances, placed and weighted to allow the receiver the best opportunity to gather and attack | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Kevin Korchinski | Note | Plays the game like he's an adult on the playground, allowing the kids to play until he needs to step in a take over to get something done. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |

Kevin Korchinski | Summary | Korchinski looked like an excellent blue-line prospect. He has the size at 6'2, 185 in his draft year, with excellent skating and high hockey iq. His poise on and off the puck is truly remarkable. His passing is superb and consistently well-selected. His positioning may have been off a couple of times, but he often corrected quickly, and his active stick and long reach helped to compensate. Several times he simply swept the puck off of the attacker's stick. Just an excellent two-way player. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Long wrist shot from the left point flutters to the net. Didn't get much behind that shot. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |

Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Good reads on defense, playing a smart positional game but not physical at all. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Good and patient passer, looks comfortable with the puck on his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Lukas Dragicevic | Summary | Has a ways to go in his development, but he looks like an offensive defenseman with the full toolkit of quickness, playmaking ability and solid play in his own end, as well. One to watch to check in on his overall game awareness and cleaning up his game at both ends. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Rhett Melnyk | Note | Good speed, mechanics look good, but he'll get better as he gains leg strength. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Rhett Melnyk | Note | In a race against Korchinski, but the big defender had the speed and the better angle. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Sam Oremba | Note | Solid hit on the forecheck forces the defender to move the puck before he was ready. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Sam Oremba | Note | Quick off the hop, gets across plenty of ice in the first couple of steps. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |

Andrei Kuzmenko | Note | Enters the zone, slows, then backhands a short saucer pass to the winger with speed. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |

Andrei Kuzmenko | Note | Tries a long diagonal pass through the neutral zone but leads his man too far, and he looks at the sky in apparent self-admonition. As the play is blown dead for icing, he waves an apology to his linemate. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |

Andrei Kuzmenko | Note | Likes to bang his stick on the ice to try to distract the opposing puck carrier. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Andrei Kuzmenko | Note | Goes back to help out on defense. Solid positional play in his own end. This guy is a pro all around. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Andrei Kuzmenko | Note | Goes hard down the goal line, driving the net, and as he closes, goes backhand to shield the puck, but instead of going back forehand for a shooting angle, he slips a pass to the far side of the slot for a one-timer goal. Excellent play to both protect the puck on his attack, drawing all the attention, then finding the open man. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Andrei Kuzmenko | Note | Straightline speed is okay, but his edges, strength on his skates and maneuverability provides him a lot of opportunity. Coupled with his awareness, he never looks out of position or lacking footspeed. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Andrei Kuzmenko | Note | His ability to make plays in small areas and in heavy traffic bodes well for playing on the smaller North American ice if he ever comes over. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Andrei Kuzmenko | Note | Big slapper that the goalie stopped, but he checking behind himself. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Andrei Kuzmenko | Note | Tie game, 1:20 left in the third, he takes a pass just inside the offensive zone, toe drags around the defender, lowers his shoulder, drives, then beats the goaltender roof from in tight. Beauty goal that breaks the late tie. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Andrei Kuzmenko | Summary | His game is so well refined at this point. He plays all three zones with fire, makes smart, little plays. Shows exceedingly good edgework and has a strong, solid base. Variety of shots, vision and game awareness. He could be an effective player on North American ice and could easily be a two-way middle six forward with scoring upside. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Kirill Marchenko | Note | Tries a move to the inside of the defenseman, gets a step around him and draws a tripping penalty. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |

Kirill Marchenko | Note | In constant motion, always hounding the play, and he moves so well at his size and uses his maneuverability as a valuable tool. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Kirill Marchenko | Note | Deceptive behind-the-back pass that he hid from the goaltender, puck out the point for a one-time slapshot that beats the goaltender low. Nice setup and assist for Marchenko. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Kirill Marchenko | Summary | Always impressive with his work ethic and willingness to battle and claw for everything. I like him more every time I watch him. He's still not a getting a ton of minutes, but he is playing on the powerplay and contributing something on every shift. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |

Marat Khusnutdinov | Note | Goes for a loose puck but misjudges and collides with a teammate. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Marat Khusnutdinov | Note | Good angle on the forecheck earns him a takeaway. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Marat Khusnutdinov | Note | Blocks a shot by stepping laterally into the shooting lane. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |

Elliot Desnoyers | Note | Gets a breakaway, but Tourigny closes on him and cuts off his angle, and Desnoyers fires a wrist shot, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Elliot Desnoyers | Note | Killing penalties with L'Heureux, and they got away on a two-on-one, but couldn't pay it off in the end. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Elliot Desnoyers | Note | Keeps getting good looks at the net because he's making himself available in space, and keeping his body in position to make an attempt when he does get the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |

Elliot Desnoyers | Summary | So effective all over the ice. Play awareness is so good, he makes an impact on each shift regardless of game situation because he's moving his feet, putting himself in the right spot on the ice, and constantly trying to drive play toward the opponents net. His offensive game is developing nicely. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Great little flick pass into space leads Desnoyers to a breakaway. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Decent speed as he hustles for a puck down ice. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | A pass intended for Desnoyers gets stopped at the crease, but Dumais was following the play to the net and he quickly wrists the loose puck home to tie the game. Good awareness of the game flow on that play. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Fast, able to carry into the offensive zone, takes his man wide, then slides a centering pass to L'Heureux who gets hauled down to prevent the dangerous chance. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |

Jordan Dumais | Note | Wow. Puck behind the net, Desnoyers kicks it out to the side of the crease, where Dumais was closing in. All alone (both defenders were below the net), he stops the puck, rolls his wrists to get the blade behind the puck, then roofs it from right at the edge of the crease. What a beautiful goal. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Another great show of hands as he takes a pass from Desnoyers, passes back to his left through the defender's triangle, and hits L'Heureux's stick perfectly for the tap in. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Stick in the lane breaks up a pass at one end, then hustles up ice, takes a pass and throws a nasty dangle that gets him to the front of the net. High skill player. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Give and go, Desnoyers to Dumais to Desnoyers, goal. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Jordan Dumais | Summary | Highly skilled player getting a lot of minutes on the top line, and for good reason. His hands are so fast, and his read of the play so good, that the puck continues to find him, and when it does, he makes the opposition pay. He plays with speed, but it's his hockey sense that puts him where he should be. Not appearing on any of the main 2022 draft lists yet, but he will. I can see him as a first-round pick at this point. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Jordan Tourigny | Note | Shows excellent speed to chase down Desnoyers' breakaway. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Jordan Tourigny | Note | Excellent skater like his brother. A little raw, for sure, but there's a lot to build on there. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Lorenzo Canonica | Note | Well done to cover back to the point as the defender pinches in. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Lorenzo Canonica | Note | His pass is a bit behind the winger going up ice, and the attack stalls out. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Lorenzo Canonica | Note | Killing penalties, intercepts a pass, carries all the way to the net, but James saves the attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | A step slower than most of the pack as Shawinigan transitions through the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Backhand pass down through the slot to the winger going to the net. Beauty of a pass. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Seems to be a player that reacts to the play instead of creating it. He waits for someone to get him the puck, then he tries to make something happen. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Put in a big effort to try to get back to stop a two-on-one, but despite going full out, he couldn't close the gap. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Mathieu Cataford | Note | Comes off the bench and goes hard into the far corner to pressure the puck on the forecheck. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Mathieu Cataford | Note | Does everything with urgency. Not rushing the play, but his work rate is high level and he's not holding anything back as he plays. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Mathieu Cataford | Note | With the puck, ducks behind his defender for a quick screen, then passes up the boards to clear the zone. Took a big hit for his efforts, too. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Mathieu Cataford | Note | His play in his own end to make good, safe breakout passes is remarkably consistent. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |

Oliver Nadeau | Note | Makes a pretty pass on the middle part of a tic-tac-toe powerplay sequence. He drew the keeper to his side threatening shot, then zipped the pass cross-crease giving Bourgault a wide-open net to shoot into. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Senna Peeters | Note | Intercepts inside the blue line and when the defender trips himself up, Peeters has time, walks in, and beats the goalie over his shoulder. Great shot, horrible defending. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Xavier Bourgault | Note | Paws a puck out of the air then makes a 50-foot diagonal pass to the far dot. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Xavier Bourgault | Note | Another good look, this one finds Nadeau at the crease, but a sliding right pad save from James gets the puck out of danger and into the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Xavier Bourgault | Note | Battling along the wall, strong on his skates and on the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Xavier Bourgault | Note | Yet another look on the powerplay, this one cross-ice to Bourque to Nadeau and into the net. Excellent powerplay shift for Bourgault. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Xavier Bourgault | Note | Sees the ice so well. Makes smart little passes, strong long passes, and is always getting the puck to the more dangerous player. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Xavier Bourgault | Note | Lofts a perfectly weighted chip pass over two defenders and drops it right in front of the head man. Speechless. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Xavier Bourgault | Note | Very good speed, good agility, excellent balance and stability. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Xavier Bourgault | Note | That was the third or fourth time that he's shot the puck from the slot, and each time he has tried to go low, mostly for the five hole. None were successful. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Xavier Bourgault | Summary | Looks like a complete package NHL player. Plays a super-smart game, and his passing is not only accurate and easily handled, but he makes the right passes at the right times to set up his linemates for aggressive attacks. He skates well, and shows good speed, but it is his strength on his feet and in his hands that allows him to play the type of game that he does. He looks like an NHLer, and maybe only his shot needs work. That said, he looks like middle-six is his floor, and he has top-line NHL potential. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Braeden MacPhee | Note | Accelerates up the boards after the puck, gets brought down and draws a holding penalty. His burst put the defender in trouble. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |

Kieffer Lyons | Note | Dumps the puck and tires to rush past MacKinnon but can't get separation from the defenseman. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Logan Crosby | Note | Hard edge stop and pivot, well balanced, able to get exactly where he wanted despite the snap change of direction to get to the tipped pass. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Logan Crosby | Note | Hustles to a loose puck then passes back to the slot, finds Gauthier, earns an assist. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Lucas Canning | Note | Gets buried by a hard check in the corner, but pops back up. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Lucas Canning | Note | Spends a lot of time bent over at the waist. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Spending a lot of time in his own zone floating towards the play, but not getting involved in any meaningful way. Sort of turning from one dot to the other. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Centering the top PP unit, showing good puckhandling in tight spaces. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Speed is average, nothing dynamic about his straightline skating. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Tries a one-timer but whiffs on it. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Not liking his lack of defensive intensity. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | On the left side the powerplay, but slowly gliding out toward the puck at the point. Even if the point man passed to him, Vidicek is limiting his next option if he gets the puck. Get active, man! | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Good, hard, one-touch pass through the high slot. He has good hands, for sure. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Looks better with the puck on his stick than any other time. Otherwise he is playing so slowly. Early season malaise? | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Backchecking forward chases down Vidicek and knocks the puck away from Vidicek's stick. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Excellent chip pass to Crosby releases him up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Finds a rebound at the top of the crease and snaps it in. Again, good hands in tight places. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Good defensive positioning on the play, maybe the first time I've seen in this game where he looked decisive in his zone. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Summary | There were glimpses of what he can be when he had the puck: tight puckhandling, confidence with the puck, hard release. However, he spent a lot of this game doing mostly nothing at all. It is possible that there was something going on with him (illness, lack of game shape, bad mood) so more viewings are warranted to see if this was a bad game or a general mode of play. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Mathieu Cataford | Note | Good speed, even when not pushing hard. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Mathieu Cataford | Note | Nice forecheck effort, bumping the defender off the puck on the end boards, then keeping the puck deep. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Mathieu Cataford | Note | Looks to start a rush but gets tripped and draws the penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Mathieu Cataford | Note | Pauses on the boards with the puck, draws the hit, and times the pass correctly to make the play up the boards for a clean breakout. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Mathieu Cataford | Note | Whynot finds him with a beautiful pass, and Cataford is in alone. Tries to wrist one from 15 feet, but the goalie makes the save. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Mathieu Cataford | Note | Works to the net, incoming shot hits someone in front, and he is able to get his stick on it and pitchforks a backhand five hole for the go-ahead goal with six minutes left. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Mathieu Cataford | Summary | Plays with a spark. He has quickness that he uses to his advantage both with the puck and on the forecheck. Made good choices and showed a willingness to draw pressure to make a play. Has a scorers intentions and goes to the danger areas to make plays. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Alexis Brisson | Note | Locked up with Savoie from the opening faceoff, chirping, shoving, wrestling at puck drop. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Alexis Brisson | Note | Like his fluid mobility. Light skater. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Alexis Brisson | Note | Trailing the backcheck, when he should have tried to close on the player heading to the slot. When at last he tried, he was too late and allowed a top-of-the-crease chance. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Alexis Brisson | Note | Nice hip check. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |

Antoine Roy | Note | Out to kill the game's first penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Antoine Roy | Note | Good size, speed looks average, and he seems hesitant on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Antonin Verreault | Note | Quick, hustles up ice, takes a crosscheck and draws the penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |

Antonin Verreault | Note | Uses every part of his skate blade to alter speed and angle, and his stride shows great form. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Antonin Verreault | Note | Accelerates into an empty space to steal a pass, then flicks a feed to his linemate for a high-danger chance. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Antonin Verreault | Note | Plays fast, but slows the game down when necessary. Always involved in the play on every shift. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Antonin Verreault | Note | Again showing the awareness to adjust speed to find the open ice, this time making himself available for the pass and scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Antonin Verreault | Note | Verreault's agility is excellent. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Antonin Verreault | Note | Vision and awareness. I like everything about his game, but I haven't seen him get a clean shot off yet. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |

Colby Huggan | Note | Bad choice trying to block Hanelt's progress in the corner, and when Hanelt cuts back, Huggan checks the empty boards. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Colby Huggan | Note | Tries to feed a cutter to the net, but the chance never materializes and the puck goes into the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Colby Huggan | Note | Works hard to regain possession after his team gave up the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Colby Huggan | Note | Gets in a faceoff crosscheck fight with Savoie, but the refs break it up. Both go to the box in what is becoming an increasingly chippy game. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Haakon Hanelt | Note | Second powerplay unit | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Haakon Hanelt | Note | I like how he uses his body positioning, in this case spinning off the crosscheck and dropping his back foot to gain inside position at the net. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Haakon Hanelt | Note | Drives hard to the slot, but the pass comes way out in front of his lead foot, and he can't get his stick on it. Too bad. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Haakon Hanelt | Note | Choses to turn away from the loose puck and tries to get a jump out of the zone, but his teammate doesn't get to the loose puck either, and there's no clean breakout pass. Get possession first! | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Haakon Hanelt | Note | Plays strong on and off the puck in the dirty areas. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Haakon Hanelt | Note | Has a big motor, and he skates well, meaning he's always getting to the spots, always putting himself in a place to make a play. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Haakon Hanelt | Note | Takes a hard crosscheck to the mouth. Ouch. Goes off for medical attention. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Haakon Hanelt | Note | Back out on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Manix Landry | Note | A gorgeous play to take the puck from the rightwing halfboards, attack the slot and draw defenders, then makes a no-look, behind-the-back pass to his wide open teammate for a clean look at goal. Great assist. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Miguel Tourigny | Note | Showing off his speed as he carries the puck through the neutral zone, then gets tripped by a diving defender, and still manages to sweep the puck to the top of the crease for an easy tap-in goal. Sweet individual effort to set up the goal. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Samuel Savoie | Note | Locked up with Brisson from the opening faceoff, chirping, shoving, wrestling at puck drop. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Samuel Savoie | Note | Second powerplay unit | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Samuel Savoie | Note | Tries to circle behind the net and loses an edge hard into the wall. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |

Samuel Savoie | Note | Steals the puck on the red line boards, enters the zone, but doesn't have the speed to back the defender off, so he gets bottled up and turns back. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Samuel Savoie | Note | Nice, hard shoulder check on the defenseman trying to break out, but the hit was a half-second too late and the puck is up and out of the zone. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Samuel Savoie | Note | Pitchforks a weak backhand shot that the goalie kicks into the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |

Samuel Savoie | Note | Ill-advised wraparound attempt that fizzles out. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Brody Lamb | Note | Quick, gets full extension on his push | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Brody Lamb | Note | Finds an open space in the slot, but he heels the puck when it comes, and fights it all the way to the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Brody Lamb | Note | Left side on the powerplay, moving and keeping his stick ready | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Brody Lamb | Note | On the powerplay, tries a pass across the slot, intercepted | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Brody Lamb | Note | Loses an edge and spills in his own zone. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Brody Lamb | Summary | This was a game early in the season, and the entire affair was sloppy and disjointed, and Lamb's play was no exception. I think at best it was a good opportunity to see some of his skating mechanics, which looked good to very good. There was so little smooth puck play in the game, so not much to note about his puck handling, etc. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Davis Burnside | Note | Pins the defenseman to the boards with some intensity | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Davis Burnside | Note | Decent acceleration, again shouldering the defender into the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Davis Burnside | Note | Picks up a puck in his own right-side circle, but he gets stripped and loses it right away to the other team. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Davis Burnside | Note | Tries to get out on a breakaway, but doesn't have the wheels to get free of the defender. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Davis Burnside | Note | Takes a hard hit while trying to poke the puck across the blue line and into the offensive zone. He was not ready for that. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Davis Burnside | Summary | Looked more quick than fast, but there's some promise to his play, despite the low quality of this game in general. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Ethan Fredericks | Note | Killing penalties. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Ethan Fredericks | Note | Works to the slot, slaps a bouncing puck into the net for his first goal of the season. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Ethan Fredericks | Note | Good job to tie up his opponent off the faceoff and allow his teammate to retrieve the puck and enter the offensive zone with possession. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Gregory Spitznagel | Note | Push is wide, restricts his extension, makes him look like he has a waddle in his stride. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Gregory Spitznagel | Note | Goes to a knee to block a shot. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Nicholas VanTassell | Note | Speed looks okay, about average straight line with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Nicholas VanTassell | Note | Working the top of the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Nicholas VanTassell | Note | Tiny, choppy cross-over steps. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Chase Pearson | Note | Pearson does all of his damage right at the goal mouth. I don't recall seeing him have a dangerous shot from more than ten feet out. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Chase Pearson | Note | On the powerplay, from just left of the right dot, a hard wrist shot high that goes over the net. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Cole Sillinger | Note | Out killing penalties, joins a short-handed rush, takes the pass, buries it. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Cole Sillinger | Note | Dangerous again on the penalty kill, with a partial break and a hard wrist shot just wide. Pearson was struggling to keep up, but couldn't. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Cole Sillinger | Note | Sillinger's speed is a weapon. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Cross Hanas | Note | Looks so solid on the ice, and plays like it, too. Not fast, probably about average speed or just a bit better. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Cross Hanas | Note | Will go straight to the top of the crease, with or without the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |

Cross Hanas | Note | Good cross-ice head pass starts the breakout. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Cross Hanas | Note | Veleno carrying the puck into the offensive zone, and Hanas tries to step across his line, and accidentally bumps him off of the puck. Why? | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Cross Hanas | Note | Fighting for a loose puck at the goal mouth, pokes it in. Tough, greasy goal. [Note that on replaying, the puck actually had landed behind the goalie's left pad, and Hanas's jab at it hit the pad as the puck was already edging across the line. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Jake Gaudet | Note | Killing penalties. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Jake Gaudet | Note | His straight line mechanics look awkward. His push is short, his return is short, and his arms are all over the place. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Veleno seems to like it down low on the right side and ripping shots on net from about the goal line. He scored there in an earlier game, and hit the post this time. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Not watching him in this game, but he just made such a perfectly weighted pass through traffic that I had to make a note of it. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Luke Toporowski | Note | Slow to get back, his man goes to the net, and Toporowski is not there in time to prevent the scoring chance. Goal against. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Martin Rysavy | Note | Playing a mostly passive game at both ends. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Martin Rysavy | Note | Good example of the passivity: puck on the offensive boards between two Detroit players about five feet apart. Rysavy tries to skate past and snag the puck instead of digging in and trying to win possession. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Martin Rysavy | Note | Again just reaching out for the puck instead of engaging, and this time Veleno just goes right past time. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Martin Rysavy | Note | Looks willing to put his shoulder in if he has no chance at a puck. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Navrin Mutter | Note | Fakes a defending forward, throws a wrist shot at the net blocked. Not much action on that shot. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Navrin Mutter | Note | Hard cross check at the front of the net. Mutter is nasty tough to play against. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Navrin Mutter | Note | Monster shoulder check on the back boards. He still knows how to throw crushing hits. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Navrin Mutter | Note | There's something about him that is so intriguing to me. Size, decent skating, decent hockey sense, and physicality that intimidates opponents. He just doesn't score, otherwise he would be an excellent pro prospect. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Navrin Mutter | Note | Mutter: guess what? Yep. A big hit along the boards. Then another one. Then he circles to the slot and gets a good chance, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Navrin Mutter | Note | Drives, turns at a glide with the puck in front of him, eyes up, passes through the defender's triangle and sets up a beautiful chance. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Stanislav Svozil | Note | Not focusing on him here, but he keeps making smart, high-quality plays. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Stanislav Svozil | Note | I have Svozil too low on my current Top Defenders prospect ranking. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Note | Good chance to see him skate full out as he tries to beat out an icing. Excellent form, impressive speed. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Note | Nice look to the slot to Sillinger in space, but the pass was a bit off target and Sillinger couldn't bring it in. Too bad. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Note | Driving the right side, drops to Sillinger, circles in front of the net, then recognizes that the left defenseman had pinched in low, so Chinakhov hurries back to the blue line to cover. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Note | Plays patiently, engaged but not overly aggressive, especially without the puck. It's like you can see him thinking, making the calculations, winding the spring. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Note | Rocket one-timer from the right circle, hits traffic and bounces so high straight up that all the players at the net stopped to wait for it to come back down. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Note | Subtle play to adjust his skating line and just basically create a running screen all through the defensive zone, allowing his D a chance to start the breakout. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Note | Rocket one-timer from the top of the right circle (sound familiar?) that beats the netminder clean. What an excellent one-timer he has from there. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Note | Time running out at the end of the second period, he has the puck on the wall just inside the blue line, and he wires a wrist shot that the goaltender had to fight off with his blocker. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Note | His wrist shot is hard and deceptive, and he can get it away from odd body positions. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Note | Driving the neutral zone, passes to Sillinger on his left across to the blue line, takes an angle into space in front of Sillinger. When Sillinger passes to him, Chinakhov--with his back to the puck--lets the puck slide through his skates until it is in front of his left foot, then he one-times a snap shot on goal. Made me gasp. The play-by-play announcer didn't even know how to describe the play. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Note | Puck at the blue line, Chinakhov in the high slot with his back to the net, facing the puck. Takes the pass, circles out to just inside the blue line, goes to the very high slot area, then blasts a 45-foot wrist shot over the goalie's shoulder. Wow! | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Note | Goodness. Another one-time slapper from the top of the right circle. Excellent weight transfer. Blows it past the goaltender who was set up and ready but never even flinched. Hat trick. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Summary | A smart player with excellent on-ice awareness and an upper-echelon shot. Skates well, and his balance is particularly evident in his ability to get his shot away no matter what his body position is. He's not a dynamic, game-breaking hockey player, and as such, I'm not sure that he'll become a top-line NHLer, but I'd be surprised if he wasn't a good second-line scoring winger. He passes well and sees the ice so well, and he is a creative offensive player without being a puck hog or neglecting his responsibilities. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Jonatan Berggren | Note | Berggren is so smart with the puck. He sees everything and knows exactly what he wants to do. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Looks big and strong, just a solid NHL-type build. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Powerful stride without a lot of wasted movement. Speed is good. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Hard wrist shot from the top of the circle, low far side, but the goalie fights it off with the pad. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Does well to cover the crease with the netminder trapped below the goal line. Veleno saved a goal, there. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Tries to split two defenders but can't get through and he loses the puck into the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Gets a nice feed from Berggren and wrists it short side low, beats the goalie at the post. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Muscles his way through a check in the corner and leads a breakout. That's the kind of possession play that will earn Veleno his paychecks. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Joseph Veleno | Summary | Doesn't look that different from what I've seen from him before. Strong possession forward, good offensive tools, nothing spectacular but a workman-like player who has an NHL future. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Kirill Tyutyayev | Note | Strong first push gives him good acceleration from a stop. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Kirill Tyutyayev | Note | Cheating up towards the blue line with the puck in his zone. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Kirill Tyutyayev | Note | But… when the Wings get a turnover and break out, he's up ice fast on a 3-on-2 and buries a wrist shot short side top shelf. He held to puck long enough to freeze the goaltender, then roofed it over his shoulder. Nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Kirill Tyutyayev | Note | Snappy pass off the boards to hit a cutter who feeds Pearson for the goal. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Kirill Tyutyayev | Note | Excellent read as he gets a short pass from Berggren then one-touches a pass to the wing to the player with no one near him and a clear scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Kirill Tyutyayev | Note | Uses body position so well to protect the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Kirill Tyutyayev | Note | Sort of half-hearted bump into the puck holder on the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Kirill Tyutyayev | Note | Slides laterally well with his stick active, eliminating lanes in the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Kirill Tyutyayev | Note | Just tenacious out there, always engaged and active. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Kirill Tyutyayev | Note | Gets the puck, turns his man to the net, goal. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Kirill Tyutyayev | Summary | Probably the most effective player in the game, regardless of the goals he scored. Every shift he had the puck and made something happen. Has the speed, offensive mindset, good play going back. Does not look like he is as small as he is listed. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Logan Stankoven | Note | Second powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Logan Stankoven | Note | Takes a nice diagonal route to the net, stick ready, but the pass for the corner doesn't get through to him. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Logan Stankoven | Note | Playing in the middle of the powerplay. He holds his top hand in high and tight against his chest to keep his stick blade flat on the ice but in close to his feet. Looks so awkward. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Logan Stankoven | Note | Certainly not afraid to get to the slot area. Moves fast. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Logan Stankoven | Note | Choppy acceleration that is good but can be improved. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Logan Stankoven | Note | Speeds up the right wing boards, but can't turn the corner against McIsaac, who just plays him off the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Logan Stankoven | Summary | Worked hard, but nothing seemed to break for him. I liked that he seemed fearless and willing to go to the high-traffic areas to make plays. Needs to work on some issues with his feed and hands, but if he does, he could have a good professional future. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Pasquale Zito | Note | Takes a bad angle to the defender and allows a clean transition with speed. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Pasquale Zito | Note | Speed looks average. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Pasquale Zito | Note | Not very effective so far, looks off by a step or two and mostly floating at both ends. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Pasquale Zito | Note | Tries a wraparound, but the goaltender was ready for it and makes an easy save. Too slow in developing. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Riley Tufte | Note | Looks good on the move, but his first step is listless. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Riley Tufte | Note | Better glider than skater. Just gets so little push and takes a long time to reset, but he can make up for some of that with his long reach. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Riley Tufte | Note | Trails the attack by a good bit because he just isn't getting up the ice fast enough. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Riley Tufte | Note | Has big drive, and as mentioned is good on the glide once he gets up to speed. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Riley Tufte | Note | Gets a ton of leverage on his snap shot so he generates a lot of power behind it. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Riley Tufte | Note | Comes out onto the ice after a change, straight into the offensive zone and a lucky puck lands right in his wheelhouse for a heavy one-time snap shot goal. Bang! | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Thomas Harley | Note | Harley is so smooth with the puck in transition. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Wyatt Johnston | Note | Top powerplay unit for this squad, playing at the bumper spot. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Wyatt Johnston | Note | Puck in his zone skips to his feet and he tries to just chop it blind out of the zone, but hits traffic at the blue line and stays in. He had time to make a more controlled play but didn't use it. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Wyatt Johnston | Note | Can't handle a pass and it skips away to a Red Wings player. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Yevgeni Oksentyuk | Note | Ill-advised behind the back pass that went straight to the Red Wing defender because Johnston had turned the other way and never saw the pass coming. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Yevgeni Oksentyuk | Note | Gets a one-time opening, but his shot goes center net, and the sprawling goaltender is able to make a save. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Yevgeni Oksentyuk | Note | Getting powerplay time in the middle. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Yevgeni Oksentyuk | Note | So lucky not get destroyed there. Took a suicide pass by turning fully around. Eeeek. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Yevgeni Oksentyuk | Note | Pitchforks a backhand pass to Kawaguchi, but puts into his skates. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Adam Sykora | Note | Races past Miroshnichenko up the left wing boards, drives into the offensive zone, soft pass to the middle that sets up a shot. Excellent wheels | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Adam Sykora | Note | Second-unit powerplay, working low at the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Adam Sykora | Note | Using his feet to get a step ahead of the defending player, then passes off to the better option. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Adam Sykora | Summary | Sykora's game is all about using his skating ability to create opportunities. He showed decent vision and game awareness, and a strong drive to push up ice into the offensive zone. He worked diligently at both ends of the ice, but he wasn't as effective as I'd like him to be. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Dalibor Dvorsky | Note | Gets his stick into the lane to break up a pass. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Dalibor Dvorsky | Note | Top powerplay unit, taking up residence in the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Dalibor Dvorsky | Note | Gets a shot away while falling. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Dalibor Dvorsky | Note | Good hard pass to launch an attack, then hustles to follow the play to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Dalibor Dvorsky | Note | If the puck reaches him in the slot, its immediately on net. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Dalibor Dvorsky | Note | Uses his long reach to hold the puck at length and sweep around the Russian forechecker in the neutral zone. Confident with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Dalibor Dvorsky | Note | Excellent work to get back and break up what could have been a quality Michkov chance. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Dalibor Dvorsky | Summary | Skating is above average, with good balance in tough traffic. Showed nice hands and the ability to carry the puck through the neutral zone, but he's not a puck handler. Choices were sound, puck movement quality, but his weapon is his ability to generate shots on net from within fifteen feet of the net. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Ivan Demidov | Note | Turning a bit in on defense, looking uncertain. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Ivan Demidov | Note | Head up, puts a sneaky backhand pass from below the goal line out to the side of the crease, goal. Great look. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Ivan Demidov | Note | Playing low on the second-unit powerplay, moves the puck with intention and snap. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Shows good balance as a hit spins him but he keeps his feet and is right back at it. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Good positioning to the left of a goal-mouth scramble. When the puck pops out, Kvochko finds him and Miroshnichenko buries it into the open net. A little lucky, perhaps, but he was ready and in the right place. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Gets another chance from the right of the crease, but the pass is in his feet and he couldn't get the shot away. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Sends a pass a bit behind the target. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Wearing the "C" for the Russians | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Another goal from about the same place. He's a menace from that spot, and his teammates know he's going to be there and be ready. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Summary | Plays a quiet type of game, staying low and steady at both ends of the ice, using his positioning to create and defend attacks. His main role in the offensive attack was to set up at the side of the slot and funnel shots on net, and he was good at that. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Continues to be effective in getting the puck up ice and on net. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Drives the puck up the right, slides it over, goal. He made that play with effort, speed, determination. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Matvei Michkov | Note | Partial break at the end of a shift, but just takes a long-distance wrist shot that the goalie handles. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Matvei Michkov | Note | Top penalty kill unit | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Matvei Michkov | Note | Tries a long saucer pass from the corner out to the opposite side blue line, but intercepted. Not the greatest choice there. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Matvei Michkov | Note | Plays the right half-boards on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Matvei Michkov | Note | Michkov just gets his shot away whenever he wants. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Matvei Michkov | Note | Gave up a shot to try a pass, but it was tipped away from danger. Thought he should have just ripped it from there instead. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Matvei Michkov | Note | Not to be deterred, Michkov heads back up ice, draws three defenders, then makes a fantastic pass to the side of the net, through traffic, for an easy tap-in goal. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Matvei Michkov | Summary | Even in a game where he was drawing a ton of attention from the defenders and wasn't his most effective, he still managed to have a big impact on the game. He's not the most dynamic skater, but he is strong on his skates, and a puck possession monster. He sees the ice, knows what he wants to do, and it's difficult for the defense to prevent him from doing it. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Peter Repcik | Note | Bad giveaway from the top of the circle allows the Russians to launch a counter attack. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Peter Repcik | Note | Like his stride mechanics, but his turns are a bit wide. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Semyon Sinyatkin | Note | Big burst of speed on the penalty kill draws a penalty to prevent him from a clean breakaway. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Brayden Boehm | Note | Goes back to the bench hard. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Carlen Dezainde | Note | Hustles out to harass the point man. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Carlen Dezainde | Note | Not a lot of knee bend, so he's not pushing through with long extensions. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Carson Latimer | Note | Gets caught water skiing. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Cayden Glover | Note | His first step looks average from a stop, but his third/fourth step acceleration was good there chasing down a loose puck. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Jalen Luypen | Note | Short, choppy strides, but he has a change of gears when necessary | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Jalen Luypen | Note | Carries up the left side, muscles past a check in the neutral zone, dips in, wrap around, goal. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Jalen Luypen | Note | Takes a bump up high, but his balance is strong through his legs and he shrugs it off. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Jalen Luypen | Note | Killing penalty, wide sweeping stick, decent lateral movement to clog lanes. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Jalen Luypen | Note | Shovels a pass to the crease for a good chance. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Jalen Luypen | Note | Steps inside of the defender to get position for a stretch pass, and he creates a partial breakaway. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Jalen Luypen | Note | Always working to drive offense and get pucks into scoring positions. Hard worker, big scoring drive. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Logan Dowhaniuk | Note | Penalty kill time. Puts a hip check into the puck carrier just inside the blue line and puts an end to that attack. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Logan Dowhaniuk | Note | Not doing much to give an outlet to his defensive partner who was behind their net and under pressure. Dowhaniuk needs to create an option there, but he was watching. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Oasiz Wiesblatt | Note | Bad pass in skates at speed, but he's able to pirouette, stabilize the puck then flick a backhand pass to keep the rush moving. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Oasiz Wiesblatt | Note | Super responsible on defense. Gets back fast, covers for his D if they pinch in. In that sequence, he tied up the opponent at the front of the net and completely neutralized him. Well played. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Ayrton Martino | Note | Just coasting and floating around up top in his own zone while the entire play was happening at his net. No defensive input at all there. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Ayrton Martino | Note | Strength on his edges allows him to be highly maneuverable laterally | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Ayrton Martino | Note | Tries a no-look backhand pass to the slot, but finds nothing. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Ayrton Martino | Note | Driving the neutral zone, takes a pass on the center ice dot, hits the offensive zone with one defender between him and the goalie, then passes no look to his left, to literally no one at all. I watched the sequence five times and still have no idea what he was thinking there. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Ayrton Martino | Note | Again, tries to pass without looking his teammate, and missed him by probably ten feet for an easy recovery by the opposing penalty killers who then clear the zone. What is up with him? | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Ayrton Martino | Note | Tries to drag the puck around the defender, but leaves it there. Bad turnover. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Ayrton Martino | Note | Still not engaging in defensive play, but a puckhandling Tri-City forward got too close and Martino stripped him. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Hunter Strand | Note | Good speed, nice skating technique | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Hunter Strand | Note | When he goes full out, he has head way out in front of his skates, back almost parallel to the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Hunter Strand | Note | Nothing too special about his skating. Average or a little better speed, average or a little better agility. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Hunter Strand | Note | Being heavily relied on to do everything in this game, and the reason is obvious. He's solid in all aspects, probably the best all-around utility forward on the team. But, there's not much spark there. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Kieran Cebrian | Note | Not getting much ice time, but when he does, he's involved, skating well, getting to the net and into the scrums. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Matthew Knies | Note | Straight ahead speed is lacking, maybe average. Lots of upper body movement side-to-side, feet moving fast, but he's not driving forward. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Matthew Knies | Note | Strong stick, good position, creates a turnover. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Matthew Knies | Note | He's a better skater with the puck than without, because when he has the puck, he keeps his stick out in front while straight-line skating, and is more balanced with less wasted movement. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Matthew Knies | Note | Snappy release on the wrist shot at speed. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Matthew Knies | Note | Plays big when he has the puck. Hard to move and knock off his line. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Vinnie Borgesi | Note | Smooth crossovers, excellent acceleration, eager to join the rush. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Vinnie Borgesi | Note | Good, hard slapshot from the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Vinnie Borgesi | Note | Powerplay sequence, wrists one from 60 feet and hits the post. This kid has a hard shot. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Vinnie Borgesi | Note | Again using excellent crossovers to gain lateral acceleration. He's a good skater. I'm really starting to like this kid as a player. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Vinnie Borgesi | Note | Applying pressure to prevent a breakout, using his quickness to close a gap and force the Omaha player to abandon the attempt and turn back. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Dylan Duke | Note | High work-rate player. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Dylan Duke | Note | Rifles a pass right to left, but it was too much for Behrens to handle. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Dylan Duke | Note | Keeps his stick on the ice, attentive and ready. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Dylan Duke | Note | Trips the Czech goalie, gets buried into the boards. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Dylan Duke | Summary | Did a lot of little things well in the game, gaining inside position at the crease, making himself available for passes, working into open spaces, and working hard on the defensive side of the game. He's not an offensive force by any means, but he plays a solid, honest game in all three zones. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jakub Altrichter | Note | Looks to be a bit slow going up the ice. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jakub Altrichter | Note | Good stickwork on the backcheck leads to a turnover. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jakub Altrichter | Note | Half-hearted bump mostly just distracted the US puck carrier. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jakub Altrichter | Note | He's making me crazy. When you watch him, he has a good tool set, with good skating, elusive puck handling, above average work rate, but nothing is happening for him. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jakub Brabanec | Note | He has a quality skill set and good offensive instincts. He's been one of the top drivers for the Czechs in this game. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jaroslav Chmelar | Note | Second powerplay unit, playing low and battling at the crease. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jaroslav Chmelar | Note | Big player at 6'4, 198 | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jaroslav Chmelar | Note | Good mobility, using his agility to shake a defender and spin off the wall with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jaroslav Chmelar | Note | Decent recovery speed on the back check. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jaroslav Chmelar | Note | With his size and skating, if he develops some scoring (he's young for the draft) he could become a good NHL-type player. Need to see some offense first, though. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jaroslav Chmelar | Note | Bites on a fake by Lane Hutson at the blue line, and Hutson drives past and starts a dangerous sequence. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jaroslav Chmelar | Note | Great backhand look as he cuts hard to the high slot. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jaroslav Chmelar | Note | Successfully chases down and catches Behrens on a back check. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Justin Janicke | Note | Speedy, just took an excellent line to prevent the shooter from a good look at the net. Went to the lane first, and then closed in on the shooter. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Justin Janicke | Note | Plays a slip and weave style. Ducks under bigger players and beats them with his edges. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Justin Janicke | Note | Tries to tie up Rysavy with his stick, but putting his stick out did nothing to stop Rysavy from getting his stick on the puck and scoring. Janicke needed to step in and actually tie up Rysavy instead of just trying to block him with a waist-high stick | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Justin Janicke | Note | His defensive game needs a lot of work to get to an effective level. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Justin Janicke | Note | Has the puck on the low boards, and he spins directly into the Czech defender and loses the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Justin Janicke | Note | Throws a puck to the slot, but the only players there are all wearing Czech sweaters. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Lukas Pajer | Note | Shows some quickness through the neutral zone, then chips it past the US defender and goes to the corner. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Lukas Pajer | Note | Pucks scrum on the boards, he wins the puck then flicks a backhand pass to a teammate at the circle. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Lukas Pajer | Note | Top powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Lukas Pajer | Note | Skates hard to get back to his zone, going full out until he hit his defensive assignment then pulling up hard. There's no glide in his game. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Lukas Pajer | Note | Good choice to back off instead of attempting to race to a 50/50 puck. If he'd been unsuccessful, that would have been a 2-on-1 going the other way. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Lukas Pajer | Note | He's a part of the action on every shift, always making some kind of impact on a play. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Lukas Pajer | Note | What form on his one-timer. Looks picture perfect on form, and he gets a ton of power from it. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Lukas Pajer | Note | One-timer, kept it low on the ice, but the goalie made a good save. Pajer's one-timer is top notch. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Lukas Pajer | Note | Steals a puck in his own end, drives up ice diagonally, entering the offensive zone along the left boards, but loses an edge pulling up. He then hustles back, lifts a stick, dives to block a shot. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Lukas Pajer | Note | Another smart, safe play, this time to chip the puck past a defender and clear his own zone. He put the puck into empty space and allowed his side to get relief from the US pressure and reset. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Lukas Pajer | Summary | There are a lot of good things in his game, but it's his one-timer that lights up a game. He plays well, skating is excellent, and made several smart choices with and without the puck. He's a player to keep an eye on as he develops over the next three or four years. Pajer looks like the type of player who cracks the NHL at 21 or 22 and people start asking about where he came from. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Rutger McGroarty | Note | Wide skating stride, his return brings his feet back to beyond shoulder width at best. He's leaking power everywhere. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Rutger McGroarty | Note | Good size at 6'1, 195 pounds as a D-1 | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Rutger McGroarty | Note | He goes to the front of the net any time he can. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Rutger McGroarty | Note | Strong on his feet, but needs to work on his overall technique and balance. He looks like a young player going through a growth spurt. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Rutger McGroarty | Note | Haven't seen him create much in his ice time, but he's working hard and putting in the effort on every shift. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Rutger McGroarty | Note | If you ever want to find McGroarty on the ice, just loot to the crease. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Rutger McGroarty | Summary | An interesting young player for the 2022 draft. He has a solid frame and good speed despite not having the best skating mechanics. He goes hard to the net and as he continues to develop looks like a player who has an NHL floor. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Ryan St Louis | Note | Skates well, moves his feet, but he's not affecting play much so far. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Ryan St Louis | Note | Missed a chance to change and then spent nearly two minutes on his shift. He was dead out there. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Ryan St Louis | Note | Skates well, but he's not active. There looks to be almost no urgency in his game. Follows the play instead of leading it. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Sean Behrens | Note | Uses his leverage and balance to just totally upend the much larger Simon Marha. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Simon Marha | Note | Paying a lot of attention to positioning, going quickly and diligently to his spots. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Simon Marha | Note | Digs a puck out from in front of his net, goes up the right side, pulls up, gets planted by Behrens. Ooof. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Brad Lambert | Note | Lambert is full activity every shift. Hitting, using his feet, always trying to make something positive happen for his team. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Dmitri Buchelnikov | Note | Hard wrist shot from the circle goes just wide. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Dmitri Buchelnikov | Note | Using physical play to create a turnover. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Dmitri Buchelnikov | Note | Quality skating and speed, bordering on excellent-level mobility. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Dmitri Buchelnikov | Note | Wrist shot causes trouble, then he gathers his own rebound low and tries to chip it off the goalie's back. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Dmitri Buchelnikov | Summary | Interesting player that works hard at both ends of the ice. Forechecks well, uses his skating ability to create or deny chances. Feisty, with offense. I liked him. Sept 6 birthdate. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Dmitri Katelevsky | Note | His feet go fast, but his body isn't going anywhere. Generating no forward power from his strides. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Dmitri Katelevsky | Note | Skates completely hunched over. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Dmitri Katelevsky | Note | Killing penalties | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Dmitri Katelevsky | Summary | Not a fan of his play in this game. Lackluster, skating is problematic, just seemed to bring little to the game overall. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Fyodor Svechkov | Note | Errant pass to nobody at the right point and puck goes out into center ice. Follows that with a beauty of a pass from below the goal line to the crease that should have been a goal, but saved. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Fyodor Svechkov | Note | Speed looks only average, good agility and balance though. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Fyodor Svechkov | Note | Poor choice to try a backwards, between-the-legs pass at the offensive blue line. Gave the puck away with less than five seconds in the period, and allowed the Finns a late attack. Just hold the puck there and protect the lead. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Fyodor Svechkov | Summary | Made as many mistakes as he made special plays. His speed is average but he gets to good spots on the ice. If he can clean up the mental errors and improve decision making, he could blossom. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Nice pass into space to lead his man to good drive into the zone. Smart pass. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Good lateral speed, using edges and crossovers to curl through the crease and get to the corner first. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Attempts a dangle in the high slot but leaves the puck behind. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Enters the zone, curls to the slot, wrists one easily saved. Good route to the high-danger area to create a chance. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Little give and go, rips a wrist shot low far side that beats the goalie clean. Fast release, with power. Nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Extends his arms with the puck at his hip to change the position of the shot release, trying to use more of the defenders position to screen the release. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Summary | Drove a lot of the Russian offense in the game for a player not named Michkov. He has an excellent shot that he works hard to utilize and disguise. Smart player in offensive zone. He's the type of player that can both create and finish chances, and he has a good sense of where to put the puck to make the most of the game situation. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Nikolai Makarov | Note | Positioning looks sound and he just took a great angle to make sure the puck carrier stayed outside the dots. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Nikolai Makarov | Note | Closes the distance to head off a potential attack and regain inside position against the rushing Finnish forward. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Nikolai Makarov | Note | Big, strong defender playing a ton of minutes. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Nikolai Makarov | Summary | Just a solid, stay-at-home type of minute chewing defender. His positioning was fantastic, and he showed some good speed from time to time. He's a defender that will make life miserable for forwards trying to get to scoring spots in his zone. However, his offense seems limited, so he's a guy that teams will just park at the back end to shut down top opponents and make good first passes out of the zone. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Oliver Kapanen | Note | On the forecheck, chases Svechkov instead of positioning himself to cut off the escape route, and Svechkov is able to breakout. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Oliver Kapanen | Note | Another forechecking sequence, he's active, hounding the puck until he creates a turnover. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Oliver Kapanen | Note | Gets his stick into the passing lane and intercepts a breakout pass just outside the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Oliver Kapanen | Summary | It seemed like he was effective on every shift, not with anything fancy, just playing solid hockey in all three zones. He'll get better with experience, too. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Sami Paivarinta | Note | Coming back to support the defense, not in a hurry but calling out coverages. Stayed behind the puck carrier though, instead of pushing to catch him. Would have liked more intensity on the backcheck on that play. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Sami Paivarinta | Note | Jumps a pass at the blue line, then draws a short-handed penalty shot. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Sami Paivarinta | Note | Very good speed, but he seems to only use it on the attack. Still lacking urgency going back to his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Sami Paivarinta | Note | Good recognition to cover the left point after the defender pinches in deep. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Sami Paivarinta | Note | Tough to pin down when he has the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Sami Paivarinta | Summary | I liked everything about his game as long as he had the puck or was working in the offensive zone. On defense, he seemed like he understood what he was supposed to be doing, but didn't care a lot about doing it. If he sharpens up and develops play on the defensive side of the puck, he could become a quality second-line winger with scoring potential. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Samu Salminen | Note | Right-wing circle on the powerplay, hard one-time slap shot beat the goalie to tie the game. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Samu Salminen | Note | Tries a stretch pass, but the head man was surrounded by opposing players. Not the best choice from Salminen. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Samu Salminen | Note | Captain of the Finn U18 squad. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Samu Salminen | Note | Bats a puck out of the air waist height for his second goal of the game. Great hand/eye on that one, as the puck hit a stick and popped up right in front of him. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Samu Salminen | Summary | Offensive minded, but a quality hockey player at both ends of the ice. Showed a lot of potential in the game to become a top-six scoring forward in the NHL. I liked his stability in the game, even though he did make a few mistakes. He'll learn, and he looks like he is capable of a lot of potential development. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Francesco Pinelli | Note | Skating looks a bit hunched and sloppy. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Francesco Pinelli | Note | Seems to struggle with his feet. Needed to get one more stride to a loose puck, but couldn't get there so he was forced to reach out to try to poke the puck instead. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Francesco Pinelli | Note | Works his way to a turnover off a bad play from the Czech goaltender, but then he just gave the puck back with a pass to a Czech player in the slot. What an excellent opportunity wasted. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Jakub Brabanec | Note | Has some quickness, but his hips look slow in pivots. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Jakub Brabanec | Note | Perfect setup pass for the one-timer by Pajer. Good weight, right in front of the back foot. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Jakub Brabanec | Note | His passes have excellent touch. Just made another one that hits the receiver like he just dropped it there. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Jakub Brabanec | Note | Solid agility and sharp turns. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Jakub Brabanec | Note | Winning all the races to pucks and open ice. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Lukas Pajer | Note | Beautiful one-timer that he got all of, and rips the puck into the net. One of the prettiest one-timers I've seen in this tournament. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Lukas Pajer | Note | Hustles down ice and beats out Zellweger to nullify an icing. He made up ground and passed Zellweger. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Mason McTavish | Note | Closes from the slot to the corner, good movement, puts a hip into his man to force an early pass. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Mason McTavish | Note | Well done to just chop pass a puck out of feet and back to the point to reset the play in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Mason McTavish | Note | Changes gears and develops additional speed hitting the offensive zone looking for a pass. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Mason McTavish | Note | Good centering pass while moving diagonally into the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Olen Zellweger | Note | Spins out of pressure and turns the puck up ice and into the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Olen Zellweger | Note | Constantly scanning the ice, always head up and reading the rest of the flow. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Stanislav Svozil | Note | Has the puck in the neutral zone, and skates away from Pinelli. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Stanislav Svozil | Note | Top powerplay unit, playing high with Pajer and Brabanec on the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Wyatt Johnston | Note | Receives an excellent pass from Bedard, right at the top of the crease, and buries it on his first shift. He got that away in a hurry and the goalie had no chance. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Wyatt Johnston | Note | Average straightline speed, maybe half a step faster than Pinelli | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Albert Sjoberg | Note | Speed looks average. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Anton Olsson | Note | Has a powerful one-time slapshot. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Fabian Lysell | Note | Carries into the offensive zone, wide base as he tries to stickhandle past a defender. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Fabian Lysell | Note | Top powerplay unit, playing at the right point, sliding down to the right circle. A lot of the play going through him. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Fabian Lysell | Note | Draws a penalty with his acceleration as he looked to split defenders and was tripped, but gets called for diving as well. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Fabian Lysell | Note | Lysell can fly. Excellent straight-line speed. Probably the fastest player in this game. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Fabian Lysell | Note | Jumps an ill-considered pass, dekes around Behrens, goes behind the net, wraparound, goal. Excellent individual sequence from the speedy winger there. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Fabian Lysell | Note | Hits the offensive zone with some speed, carries into the circle, ,the picks out the top farside corner with a laser wrist shot. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Fabian Lysell | Summary | Fast and skilled with a high scoring drive, Lysell looks to be a high-pace scoring winger for the NHL level. Will need to clean up a bit of his defensive play, but he was by no means a liability in his own end. He is, however, all offensive instincts. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Note | Closing speed stands out as he chases down a breakaway opportunity | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Note | Wrist shot looks a bit deliberate. Has tried two so far, and both have hit a defender in the shinpads. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Note | Active puckhandler. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Note | Nice cross-ice pass from the right circle to the left point sets up a PP goal. That was a good look to find the clear path and lift the puck over sticks in the lane. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Note | Another wrist shot blocked. He's forcing those attempts without much gusto. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Note | Follows with an excellent pass to the far post that should have been a goal. His passes are already determined before he gets the puck, seeing the ice well. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Note | Distributes the pucks with so much confidence, accuracy and intelligence. He just set up another attempt that should have been a goal. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Note | Smooth skater, carries the puck so well, excellent vision and distribution, but so far lacking intensity. There doesn't appear to be much goal-scoring drive there. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Note | Uses his speed to create a break, but his lack of offensive dynamism cost him when he got to the net. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Note | Effective on the penalty kill because of his quickness and long reach. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Note | Fearless passer. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Note | Poor puck protection on that play, gives the puck away just inside the offensive blue line | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Summary | Good skater who is a natural playmaker. His vision and ability to get the puck to teammates are both excellent, and he reads the ice incredibly well. His usage and success on the penalty kill shows his defensive awareness is also very good. His shot is a weakness, though, and looks more like a tactic than a weapon. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Liam Gilmartin | Note | Solid hit in the neutral zone | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Liam Gilmartin | Note | Playing a physical game, used his shoulder and leverage to separate the puck the Swedish carriers, creates a turnover. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Liam Gilmartin | Note | Finds a loose puck in the high slot with plenty of time and space, but puts the puck over the top of the net. Would have liked to see him take one more step and force the goalie to make a move. However, he was likely just surprised to have everything so open all of a sudden. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Liam Gilmartin | Summary | A straightforward, physical forward with some offensive skill. He looks to be a bottom-six type of player who could develop into a decent two-way possession-type player at the higher levels. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Redmond Savage | Note | Good acceleration off the glide | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Redmond Savage | Note | Blocks a bomb from Olsson. Wow, that hurt. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Redmond Savage | Note | Breaks up a pass on the penalty kill and goes quickly up ice. He has been highly effective on the penalty kill unit so far. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Redmond Savage | Note | Lines up a hit at the blue line but misses his man entirely and the Swedes gain the offensive zone with little trouble. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Redmond Savage | Note | Good technique straight ahead, just not very explosive or fast. Changes directions well and his lateral movement is good or better. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Redmond Savage | Note | A couple of chances in the third period, but both times the puck slipped off of his stick. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Redmond Savage | Summary | Savage was mostly used in a defensive capacity here, killing all of the penalties and working hard in the defensive and neutral zones. He does have some offensive ability, but he lacks an explosiveness in his feet and in his hands that will likely limit his offensive upside as he moves up the ranks. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Rutger McGroarty | Note | Good hustle play to step into the defender's path, take him off the puck, curl to the slot. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sasha Pastujov | Note | One timer into the side netting. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sasha Pastujov | Note | Another one-timer, blocked in front. The shot seems a bit telegraphed. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sasha Pastujov | Note | When he's holding the puck, he is patient and mostly picking out the right plays. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sasha Pastujov | Note | One time slap shot that fooled the netminder. That shot actually looked much more threatening than some of the earlier big-wind-up slapshot attempts. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sasha Pastujov | Note | Positioning is a but ragged in his own zone, but keeps his stick on the ice, in lanes, and stays attentive. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sasha Pastujov | Note | Definitely not afraid to shoot. He likes to put pucks on net and his wrist shot is heavy. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sasha Pastujov | Note | Gets a rebound at the edge of the crease and roofs it past the diving netminder. His career will likely be determined by how effective he can continue to be in that area of the ice. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sasha Pastujov | Note | Passing is not as natural a skill as his shooting. Passes are decently accurate, but he telegraphs them a bit, and they seem secondary options instead of chance generators. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sasha Pastujov | Summary | A shoot-first player who will make his living in the homeplate area of the ice. His skating is average, but he is strong on his skates and able to maintain his position when defenders are leaning on him. He needs to develop his passing game, but his shot is quick and sharp and instinctive. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sean Behrens | Note | Floats a soft pass off the boards along the offensive zone blue line, easily intercepted and turned the other way. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sean Behrens | Note | Tries to chop a puck out of his end, but would have been better offing taking an extra step and controlling the puck instead. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sean Behrens | Note | Not the greatest speed. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sean Behrens | Note | Playing the left halfboards on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sean Behrens | Note | Good pinch on a loose puck, pushes past a defender and centers a pass for a dangerous chance. Good play from Behrens. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sean Behrens | Note | Carries through the neutral zone with determination and some good maneuverability. Not a speedster, but takes a confident route into the offensive zone with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sean Behrens | Note | Patient at the left point while the play in low in the right corner, but as the puck moves towards the crease, he drives down weak side for a possible rebound chance. Smart play. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sean Behrens | Note | Gets a puck at the blue line, dips left and gets around two Swedish players to the outside, wrists one on net. He's an elusive puck carrier. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sean Behrens | Note | Again pushing the puck up ice. He's been one of the US's top possession players in the game. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sean Behrens | Summary | An interesting player from the back end. He lacks a top gear, but his ability to maneuver through traffic and beat defenders despite not being super fast is impressive. He timed his attacks well, and played a smart game in transition, particularly. Still shaky in his own end (Lysell faked him out of his skates on one play), but he could become a good middle pair, transitional defenseman. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Simon Edvinsson | Note | Smooth movement with and without the puck | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Simon Edvinsson | Note | Going back behind his net to retrieve a puck, checking over his shoulder for options as he goes in for the puck, then making a safe play to seal the puck off from the forechecker and moving the puck to a teammate. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Simon Edvinsson | Note | Great read to intercept a breakout pass. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Simon Edvinsson | Note | Balance is steady, keeps well-centered above his skates. Strides are somewhat methodical, but he still shows okay speed. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Simon Edvinsson | Note | Long-legged strides cover a lot of ice with little effort necessary. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Simon Edvinsson | Summary | Another excellent Swedish defender with smooth , long limbs, and a deceptive speed. He looks almost sleepy at times because everything he does looks so effortless. Edvinsson could develop into a player that might one day be considered the best of his draft class. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
William Stromgren | Note | Gets a loose puck in the high slot, uses his body to shield while he settles the puck, then puts a strong wrist shot off the post. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Braxton Whitehead | Note | Uses his edges well, has good speed, too. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Braxton Whitehead | Note | Feet are close together while taking the faceoff. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |

Braxton Whitehead | Note | Curls to the slot, drags the puck in and wrists one just wide. Quick hands. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Braxton Whitehead | Note | Quick to a loose puck, then uses his speed to create a chance and draw a penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Braxton Whitehead | Summary | His best attribute is his skating, showing both agility and speed. Gets to loose pucks, jumps into plays at both ends. He did not get many looks at the net in this game, but his hands looked okay. Needs seasoning. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Chase Bertholet | Note | Has the puck in his end, top of the right circle facing his goal. With two better passing choices to either defender, he chooses instead to buttonhole towards the boards and gets trapped there by a forechecker, and turns the puck over to the attackers. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Chase Bertholet | Note | Footwork needs help. He hops to get his feet in the right position for acceleration. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Chase Bertholet | Note | Lack of agility costs him on defense as he is having trouble keeping on his man. Ends up reaching a lot. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Chase Bertholet | Note | Takes a solid hit in open ice and loses the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Looks so light and lively on his skates. One of those skaters who looks like he was born with skates on, | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Physically engaging with the 6'3 Owen Pederson at the top of the crease, trying to muscle the bigger player out and protect his own net. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Carrying the puck behind the net, gets a smooth lacrosse-style attempt but sticks the puck to the outside of the post. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Generates a lot of velocity on his shot, power and accuracy with a super-fast release. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Comes into the zone on the left-wing side, pulls up and passes to the right point to hit a man just entering the zone with speed. Bedard sees the whole ice so well. That wasn't the most obvious option, but it was the best one. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Rolling puck, bouncing puck, it makes no difference, he'll still get it on net with heat. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Excellent look-off pass to the left circle for an assist. Showing shot all the way in, eyes on the net, then a perfect pass for an easy goal with the netminder out high to stop Bedard. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Connor Bedard | Summary | I will never get tired of watching Bedard play. He does everything so well, and has that innate sense for the game around him. His shot has a ferocious quality to it that everyone has to respect, and then his vision and passing are just as good or better. Makes plays at speed, but also slows the game down when he needs it that way. Just a brilliant player. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Long strides with good form, he moves faster than he looks. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Uses his size to shield the puck behind the net and keep the play going despite the attempt to pin him to the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Two nice passes on that shift, the second a well-weighted saucer pass just inside the blue line that split two defenders and released Bruce to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Good positioning in his own end, reads the pass and makes a clean interception. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Looks so big out there, takes up a lot of space on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Entering the offensive zone behind the puck carrier, lifts an opponent's stick to create an open skating lane for his teammate with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Second powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor Geekie | Note | First couple of steps are weak, but it looks like they can improve with leg strength and better technique. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Solid hit in the neutral zone. Uses his size to his advantage. Good, clean check that completely disrupts the play. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Hands are good. Dips a shoulder, makes a head fake, then rolls his wrists and drops a pass back to the point. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Drives the goal line, slides a puck into the goalie's pads, then gathers the rebound and roofs it backhand from in close. Nice goal. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor Geekie | Summary | For a young player with his size (6'4, 205), he uses his body as a weapon, which many skilled young big guys either avoid or have not yet learned. Geekie's passing are excellent, but he misfired on shots a couple of times an looked a bit awkward in setting up his shot. Needs to work on his acceleration and footwork, but that looks correctible and will get better with time. I wouldn't say he is a top prospect, but he could be a good prospect. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor McClennon | Note | Strong balance to stay on his feet while fighting for space against a bigger player. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor McClennon | Note | Gets out tight to the point on defense, taking away time from the puck holder, and takes good lines to get into the shooting lane for potential blocks. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor McClennon | Note | Excellent long diagonal pass through traffic to lead Krebs in on a partial breakaway. That was a beauty. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor McClennon | Note | Playing low left side on the powerplay. Likes to take up a spot to the goalie's right at the edge of the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor McClennon | Note | Gets a goal off his shin pad at the crease from the Krebs hot pass that got deflected up into McClennon's shins. Accidental goal for him, but it was his positioning that made it possible. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor McClennon | Note | Good hit. He may be small, but he plays hard. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Skyler Bruce | Note | Takes a pass from Geekie, pulls up at the net, and wrists one low that deflects through the goalie's legs for the first goal of the game. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Skyler Bruce | Note | Tries a one-timer but the pass skips between his legs. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Skyler Bruce | Note | Feeds a pass to a cutting Krebs, but the pass needed a but more zip to have gotten to Krebs cleanly and in stride. Good look, though. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Sloan Stanick | Note | Carries with speed into the zone, tries a pass to the front but leads his man too much and the puck goes into the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Zachary Benson | Note | Active penalty killer. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Zachary Benson | Note | Making some questionable puck choices, often carrying or handling the puck when a simple pass would be a better option. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Zachary Benson | Note | Speedy for sure, but his game needs refinement and experience. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Zachary Benson | Note | Puck scramble at the net, and Benson is the only one who sees the puck escape to the side. He snags it and wraps around for a goal that no one else saw coming. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Puck goes into the corner, and he curls to the slot. Takes a pass, wrists one hard off the goalie's mask. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Puck along the boards available for a 50/50 battle, but he chose a better play, stepped back around the defender and cut off his only lane of escape, then pinned him to the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Strong on his edges, keeps position at the front of the net with a defender pushing and leaning into him. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Takes a hit from Guhle to get the puck into the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Following the flow of play in his end of the ice, but looking a bit like he's not quite up to speed yet. But when the puck goes the other way he knows exactly what to do. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Righthanded shot, drags the puck in and releases a lightning wrister between the defender's legs. Saved, but effective. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Taking defensive zone faceoffs. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | You can tell that the puck loves him. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Right half-boards on the powerplay, always on the move, hits the zone with speed. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Strong wrists, lots of heat on his wrist shot. Comes of his stick fast and with deception. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Starts in his own end, hits the blue line with speed, dekes a defender, then snaps a shot from the circle that beats the goaltender over his glove for his first WHL goal. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Steals a puck along the boards on the left side circle, pulls the puck around a player as he cuts to the slot, and then blows a shot past the goalie. That puck was in the net and the goaltender had barely begun to move. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Definitely a shooter, but he's also a good passer and moves well to make a play. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Great look to pass across the slot to the man cutting to the net, but they just missed the connection. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Summary | Did not disappoint in his WHL debut. It's obvious why Bedard is playing at 15, and other than maybe Ozzy Weisblatt, he was easily the most electric player on the ice. He is impossible to handle when he has the puck, and has a range of deceptive moves and puckhandling to protect the puck and create shooting lanes. Without the puck, he is constantly engaged all over the ice, and although his defense needs some development, he wasn't shy about using his body and looked eager to contribute to defending the net. He's an excellent skater and like all aspects of his game, his skating will improve with strength and experience. Definitely the real thing. Just a fantastic hockey player. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Drew Englot | Note | Not the most agile skater, a bit slow on his stops and change of direction, loses Weisblatt who steps to the slot and scores. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Drew Englot | Note | Waving his stick as a form of defense. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Easton Armstrong | Note | Builds speed through a few strides, feet look a little jittery in small spaces. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Easton Armstrong | Note | Big kid, looks tall and solidly built. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Easton Armstrong | Note | Forces a snap shot when waiting and moving the puck was the better option. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Easton Armstrong | Note | Fishing for the puck instead of actually committing to defense. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Easton Armstrong | Note | Has the puck on a two-on-one, keeps it, fires the puck over the cross bar. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Graydon Gotaas | Note | Mobile, active in his zone. Lost an edge, recovered quickly and regained position. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Layton Feist | Note | Poor pass that caused problems in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Layton Feist | Note | Creates a chance in the high slot, but his shot was well wide on the far side. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Layton Feist | Note | Good job recovering back and putting a shoulder into the puck carrier trying to drive the net. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Logan Linklater | Note | Loses an edge and takes out the goaltender's feet. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Logan Linklater | Note | On the powerplay, low at the side of the net, takes a pass and steps forward to try a backhand shot, saved. He's been battling there at the crease for the entire shift. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Nolan Allen | Note | Tries a hit at the blue line but doesn't get enough, and Bedard slips past him. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Sloan Stanick | Note | Has tiny, pitter-patter steps, which keep his feet under him for balance but seem to limit his burst. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Sloan Stanick | Note | Overskating the play a bit. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Sloan Stanick | Note | Average or a little better speed though the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Sloan Stanick | Note | Second-unit powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Tyson Laventure | Note | Good on his inside edges, giving him nice maneuverability at a slow glide. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Tyson Laventure | Note | He's got some speed. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Ashton Ferster | Note | Strong feet, well-balanced, allows him to absorb hits | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Brayden Boehm | Note | Nice turn, finds his man, and delivers a solid body check along the neutral-zone boards. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |

Brayden Boehm | Note | Tracking the play, looks engaged, but he's more of an observer than a participant. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Brayden Boehm | Summary | Plays a physical game with good skating, but in this game at least, the play was generally out of his effective range of interaction. Many times he was in the middle of the zone but the play was along the boards, etc. It made it difficult to get a good read on his puck skills. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Cayden Glover | Note | Has a wide-footed turn and stance, which makes him look off balance. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Dylan Guenther | Note | Steady stride, seems to conserve some speed as necessary. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Dylan Guenther | Note | Change of direction is crisp. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Dylan Guenther | Note | One-times a long pass that was at his back foot. He got a lot of power on that. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Dylan Guenther | Note | Aware of opportunities and finds the play quickly. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Dylan Guenther | Note | Converts a back-door pass into an open net. Good footwork to open himself for the one-time shot. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Dylan Guenther | Note | Moves so well through the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Dylan Guenther | Note | His first step looks good, allows him to jump into spaces. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |

Dylan Guenther | Summary | Definitely more of a scorer than a playmaker. Guenther has an excellent array of shots, with power and accuracy, that he uses often. His passing and vision are good, but he finishes chances far more than he creates them. He has very good straight-line speed and is agile in his turns and changes of direction. He can give and absorb hits, plays from the dots in, and will make his living beating NHL goaltenders from the left circle. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |

Keegan Slaney | Note | Looks small, working hard but having a difficult time getting the puck away from pressure in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Keegan Slaney | Note | Winds up for a big slapper from the right point but hit |
