Scouting Reports

Noah Ellis (Updated 10/27/21)

December 21, 2019: From what we can tell Noah has not played a whole lot of hockey while he was growing up. He has played in some high level games for his age group, gone to National Camps and done well and even played Internationally at The Hilinka, but he has only played about 65 games over the previous two seasons. This is a plus for us because he has shown rapid development in a short time and is obviously very athletic.

Jackson Blake (Updated 10/27/21)

Neutral Zone NHL’s Ian Moran’s comments, August 2019: Jackson is as an exciting to watch player in this age group as you will find. He’s obviously going to get stronger which will lead to more speed an quickness, and let’s face it that is a scary thought. Defensemen are afraid of him. They retreat early to save their butts thinking they’ll look good, when in reality Jackson will cut laterally and make them look like a fish out of water. I like his game. I love his competitiveness. And I think we’ve got a real player here.

USHL: Four Under the radar players who we feel could hear their name’s called in 2022

The 2021/22 season is coming up soon and prospects eligible for the 2022 NHL draft are ready to prove to pro clubs why their name should be called in June. The USHL was one of the few leagues that managed to play a full season last year, despite Covid-19. The league will look for hopefully another successful season while still dealing with Covid concerns. The list below highlights four players that could make a strong impact on their USHL club and could also potentially see their name rise up draft boards during the season.

Owen Fowler

There are other players who are prettier and can pull off a backhand toey in pickup hockey, but Owen is a competitor. He makes the right play. He puts the team first. He has leadership qualities and is the type of player that NHL coaches want in their line-up.
