General Game Notes: The Owen Sound attack shut out the Barrie Colts 6-0 on the heels of a strong performance by their goaltender, Carter George. The flow of the game belonged mostly to Owen Sound. The Barrie Colts struggled to find any offensive momentum in this game, and when they did, Carter George had the answer.

Comments: Nicholas ‘ score is the big upside. He has a nose for the net and has a good shot and uses it a lot from all angles. He can beat the goalie straight up and has the touch and skill to beat them in tight. His skating is okay. Straight line speed is good, can beat defenders when he’s got a step, but lacks the explosiveness to expose well-skating defensemen. Edges, along with mobility and agility, need work. Compete is not consistently where it needs to be, but is getting better. He can add a physical element to the game. He does check a lot of boxes. Skating, speed, puck skills. He can score, and he has good vision.

Comments: Cole is a very competitive forward. He has size and skill, and a good hockey IQ. He works hard and is very noticeable shift after shift. He has decent speed and is a bit of a straight-line skater. He can get a good head of steam going, but does not have much east-west to his game. He uses his size well to win board battles and likes to go to the net and create havoc for the defenders. He likes contact and will finish his checks. He is good on the forecheck and is a good net front presence on the powerplay.

Comments: Cole is a bit undersized, but he has a good IQ and solid skills. He has a confident and smooth look when he is carrying the puck. He makes good, clean passes. He sorts out his options well and is attentive with the puck. He can make crafty and sneaky plays from the neutral zone into the offensive zone to create time and space. He is poised and mature and makes good decisions with the puck. His offensive skills and instincts on the blueline are good. Defensively, he can stick with forwards down low in coverage, and he can pin and seal off forwards along the wall.

Comments: Kashawn is a very good skater. smooth with a big shot from the point. He is skilled and likes to handle the puck. He handles the puck well and moves east-west easily, and makes good lateral cuts with the puck. He likes to activate from the back end and will lead the rush up ice and jump into the play. He can gain separation from forecheckers and quality passes under pressure. He can quarterback the power play, and he can distribute pucks and be a decisive puck mover, making good. quick decisions. He anticipates and reads the play well defensively, using his stick and closing gaps. He is not overly physical but will not back down in a scrum.

Comments: Carter was named the second star of the game. Carter’s initial setup is good. He does a good job covering his angles after lateral movement, and when in the butterfly, he covers the upper and lower corners of the net well. He keeps his five-hole shutdown, and he stays square to the puck. His depth in the crease is perfect. He is at the top of the paint and very rarely gets caught deep in the net. He does a good job making himself bigger by spreading out and eliminating holes. Carter gets to his feet quickly after an initial save and gets set for a rebound attempt. His lateral movement is very good as he can get across his crease quickly and cover the posts. He is quick to cover up loose pucks in and around his crease. He showed good reflexes and quick reaction on deflected shots. His rebound control is very good. He can direct pucks away from his goal with his stick, and he has good pad control on lower shots to redirect shots into the corners. Pucks stick to him like Velcro. He does not give up many second chances. He 8s quick to pounce on any loose pucks in the area. He possesses good glove skills. He can catch the puck and use his blocker to redirect shots away from the net. Carter is strong mentally. He makes big saves when his team needs them the most. He tracks the puck well and does not give up on pucks around the net, battling to gain control and freeze the puck. He challenges the shooter and holds his ground in the net, with traffic in front of him. Carter displays a high level of confidence in his abilities. He does not get rattled in stressful situations. He is mentally alert as to what is always going on around him. He is calm and focused, and this gives his teammates confidence in his ability to stop the puck. He reads the play well and rarely overcommits to a play. He does not have the prototypical size you look for, but he makes up for it with strong positioning and focus. His skill sets are high-end, and he has a high level of confidence that makes him an intriguing player to watch to see how he develops. The Los Angeles Kings have a nice goaltending prospect in Carter.

Comments: Undersized, good skating D. Defends with quick feet and closes his gaps well. Can be overpowered at the net. He is willing to block shots. He has good feet and lateral movement to stay with the opponent. He kills a lot of plays with his stick. He has a very high IQ and is very deceptive with the puck. Offensively, he is like having a fourth forward on the ice. A very elusive puck handler. He will join the rush and even lead the rush, and he definitely likes to activate from the back end.

Comments: Pierce was named the third star of the game with a goal and 2 assists. He is not the biggest player or the fastest player, but he has a good motor to go along with his slick hands and puck-handling ability. He can win puck battles against bigger players and is not afraid to go to the hard areas of the ice. He has a high IQ, great vision, and a highly competitive level. He plays with good pace and is strong on his skates and his stick. Very persistent in puck pursuit. He can move the puck wide and beat defenders, and he seems to always find space to make a play. His competitive nature, combined with his high IQ and skill level, make him a very effective player over 200 ft.

Comments: Masen has good size and is a net front presence, not afraid of the hard areas of the ice. He skates well for a big frame and can make sharp cuts and changes of direction. He just kind of plows his way to the crease area, looking for rebounds. He has good hands so that he can handle the puck well and use his frame to protect the puck. He shows some good acceleration and speed for his size, as he can accelerate out of turns. He is also pretty rugged along the walls, using his size and reach to win puck battles.

He does a good job getting into open ice, and he goes to the net with or without the puck. He does good work down low, around the net. He skates well and is strong on his skates. He finishes his checks and does not sacrifice positioning when making a hit. He engages in the corner and along the boards for pucks. Harry has a good combination of size, skill, compete, and physicality.

Comments: Tristan skates well and has good speed. He has a quick first step and can beat defenders to the outside. He is creative and has the vision to make plays or finish them off. He is willing to go into the greasy areas of the ice and has the hands and stick skills to control pucks in small spaces and get shots on goal. He has a physical presence about him that he can use as a catalyst for his team. He does not mind body contact and can deliver a hit with purpose.
