Scouting Reports

Ben McCartney

Ben is a hard nosed winger who plays his butt off every shift. He is an excellent F1 and excels at creating chaos on the fore-check while finishing every check with authority. He has a very active stick while shutting down passing lanes and we feel that he carries himself like a leader. He sets an

Nate Hanley

(6) Release – Can shoot with his feet moving and is unpredictable. Nate has the ability to shoot through defenders legs while in tight areas and when playing the off-wing he has the accuracy try to go short side shelf from awkward angles. Nate is a dynamic player with the puck on his stick. He is unpredictable and can fire the puck quickly and accurately, yet has the soft hands to adjust his stick at the last second for back door passes.

Riley Fiddler-Schultz

He is a smart player who reads his linemates well and consistently does the little things that help teams win. Riley is willing to block shots, take hits to make plays and he will play hard against the other team’s top players. These are all keys to a successful team, but why I really want to keep an eye

Parker Ford

Parker is a high energy forward who parlayed a great start to his Freshman year on to a spot on Team USA’s World Junior Team. He was bypassed in last year’s NHL Draft, but we feel he will hear his name called before the 4th Round is over.

Patrick Guzzo

(10) Intangibles – He is a tough kid who can play through pain. Early in the season we saw Patrick take an errant stick to the face breaking his nose. There was blood all over his face, his jersey and the ice. He went to the bench, had his nose filled with stuffing and continued playing hard two way hockey. This seems like something every player should do, but we can tell you they don’t.

Tyrel Bauer

Intangibles – He is a 6’3″ 205lbs tough as nails right shot defenseman who is an assistant captain as an ’02 in the Western Hockey League. That pretty much tells you what type of player and person you will have on your depth chart after he joins your organization in June.

Josh Pillar

Josh is currently (3/20) seeing time on the 2nd PP, being used regularly in penalty killing situations & is taking face-offs in high leverages late game situations. He plays with grit and does the little things that help teams be successful.
