USHL Scouting Report: Green Bay vs Waterloo
GREEN BAY 2 WATERLOO 1 (OT)
After a scoreless first period Dante Palecco got lucky on a goal that re-directed off the defenders stick to open up the scoring. Waterloo responded with a nice shot by the point from Mickey Anderson that slid by a screened Maksim Zhukov. No score in the third so the game went into overtime and it was Chris Grando who scored a beautiful goal in 3v3.
Below are scouting reports on the top players in this particular game. It is not a reflection of the best players overall, rather simply a recap of the standouts in this game.
#3 Chris Grando-LW (L) – 5’10/159-8/22/98
Chris is a fast, shifty forward with quick hands. He uses a combination of pace, acceleration and hustle to create a lot offensive opportunities for himself and his linemates. He was the hero in overtime, beating the oppontents to a loose puck and taking it in for a top shelf game winner. Grando isn’t the biggest guy on the ice, but he’s smart, savvy and has excellent vision and passing ability. College: Boston College
