Acadie-Bathurst Titan
Scouting Reports
Brennan Boynton
Neutral Zone NHL’s Ian Moran’s comments, November 2020: Brennan might be under sized, but he is quick and really agile. He’s got great balance, poise and I from what I’ve seen his game awareness is excellent.
Matty Beniers
Matthew processes the game situations very quickly. He notices when his opposition is caught in the middle of a long shift and will do what ever he can keep them pinned in their own end to create scoring opportunities or draw penalties. He understands angles and…
Kent Johnson
Kent’s poise makes him deadly on the power play and his anticipation makes him an excellent penalty killer. I honestly believe that with the full crew at Michigan he has a chance to lead the NCAA in scoring… even if it was a regular year.
QMJHL: Halifax Mooseheads at Acadie-Bathurst Titan
Halifax draft eligible players
Oscar Plandowski
Plandowski showed really good mobility and handled the puck very well in all three zones. He was very effective using the long stretch pass to create offensive opportunities for his teammates. In the first period alone, he…

QMJHL: Charlottetown Islanders at Cape Breton Eagles
Plandowski is a right-hand shooting defenseman who showed good mobility, nice use of his size, and a quality first pass out of the defensive zone throughout the game. He wasn’t flashy, but…
QMJHL: Home and Home; Cape Breton at Halifax
Halifax and Cape Breton squared off for the second night in a row, with this one serving as the Mooseheads home opener. Both teams played with energy, but with young rosters each club made a number of mistakes that cost them on the scoreboard. Final score was 5-4 Eagles in OT.
QMJHL: Moncton Wildcats at Halifax Mooseheads
QMJHL: Moncton at Halifax
October 9, 2020 – This game ended in a 4-2 win for Moncton, but that score was not indicative of how the game played out, and was actually quite flattering for Halifax. The Wildcats outplayed the Mooseheads throughout the game, generated more scoring chances and dominated possession of the puck. Halifax had their moments, but overall it was an uninspiring effort by the home team
Kenny Connors
Defensively, I really like Kenny’s stick. He hides it well while backchecking and on more than one occasion forced grey are turnovers with a sweeping poke check from behind. He contains…
Jack Bar
Neutral Zone has been watching and evaluating Jack’s game since he was a Bantam Major playing for the York Simcoe Express in October of 2016. And although plans may have changes, we will continue watching him during his draft season while he’s playing in the BCHL for the Penticton Vees.
Hank Kempf
Neutral Zone had Hank Kempf rated as a “C+” 2020 NHL Draft prospect and he was a player who was not drafted. Heading into his second year of draft eligibility we still have Hank rated as “C+” National League prospect. We will continue to track him this year and feel there is a good chance that he will be a defenseman who blossoms in his second full season as a leader on the Muskegon squad.
Joshua Roy
I was very impressed with how easily he manipulated the Moncton’s defenders. His eyes were able to get them to lean or back off and then he quickly darted to the open ice. He played like a natural goal scorer and was fun to watch.
Joshua Kavanagh
Joshua an elite puck carrying defenseman who creates offense from his own end. He has a confidence carrying the puck from anywhere on the rink and showed great agility on his skates closing down forwards quickly.
QMJHL: Sherbrooke Phoenix at Rouyn-Noranda Huskies (11/6/2020)
Seguin was the best forward on either team in this game. He finished with two goals, and also set up multiple scoring chances.
Devon Savignac
Devon is going to stay on my mind because of his ability to score goals. As an 03 he put up 22 goals in 49 games in the NOJHL
Jan Skorpik
His adjustment to the smaller sheet is something to keep an eye on, but he has good size and he is so athletic that we will be watching him closely this year.
