Comments: Jovanovski plays a simple, compact game, keeping his hands close to his body and controlling rebounds to prevent pucks from squeaking through. His ability to smother shots and maintain composure helped dictate the flow of play, especially when things got hectic – a subtle but highly effective part of his game. He’s a smooth, efficient skater, staying on his feet with a narrow stance that allows him to move quickly across the crease. In tight battles, he remains rock solid, giving his team a steady, calm presence in net and showing nothing can faze him.
Parker Snelgrove (C, L, 6’1″, 196, Guelph Storm, 01/20/2007)
Game Rating

Snelgrove’s playing style is marked by his high energy levels and constant movement around the ice. He’s willing to engage in physical battles along the boards, often coming out with pucks in 50/50 situations. His reliability and predictability make him a valuable asset in all situations, particularly in defensive-zone play. Snelgrove excels as a two-way player, consistently bringing effort on both offense and defense. His skating ability allows him to effectively pursue pucks and break up plays, while also positioning himself to shut down scoring chances. On the offensive end, he pushes pucks forward, applies relentless forechecking pressure, and wins battles in the zone due to his speed and agility. Snelgrove’s persistence often pays off, as he keeps pucks alive and creates chaos in front of the net.

Comments: Snelgrove is an excellent two-way player, consistently supporting his linemates in the defensive zone and providing reliable options for transitioning the play. His puck poise was evident in all three zones, as he never panicked and often held onto the puck until the right play presented itself. He carried pucks out of trouble in the defensive zone and generated offense in the offensive zone by attacking with speed, either driving to the net or stopping on a dime to find a second wave of attack. A notable aspect of his game was his ability to make the simple, smart play when nothing else was available. Instead of turning the puck over, he made small chip plays to open space or dumped the puck into the proper corner, allowing his teammates to retrieve it. While he may not have appeared on the score sheet, he had a clear impact on the game.

Comments: Beauchesne is a fluid-skating defenseman who frequently joins the rush. He isn’t afraid to take risks, often jumping into the play and sometimes getting below the opposing team’s goal line. He finds pockets in the offensive zone to get shots on net and can dive in to the crease for loose pucks in front of the net. His calculated risks are often rewarded, as he contributes offensively through both shooting and strong vision. While he isn’t an overly defensive defenseman, his skating allows him to maintain good gaps, and his hockey IQ enables him to read the play effectively.
Ethan Miedema (LW, L, 6’5″, 218, Guelph Storm, 03/22/2005)
Game Rating
B+
Miedema is a solid power forward with a strong skill set that allows him to contribute in various ways on the ice. He excels at puck protection, capable of safeguarding pucks along walls and in open space, which enables him to access scoring areas. In the slot, he has shown ability to adapt his body positioning to evade checks and generate shots. While there is room for improvement in his skating, Miedema’s understanding of his game allows him to maintain a good pace by leveraging his size.

Comments: Miedema is a power-forward type who makes things happen with his active stick and sharp offensive instincts. He may not dazzle with flashy skill, but he’s a relentless net driver. He attacks the crease, outmuscles opponents, and gets to pucks first, scoring goals through sheer determination. His skill lies in finding pucks in tight areas and getting quick shots off under pressure. Beyond his offensive IQ, he’s a pest on the forecheck, disrupting plays with his reach, and he’s not afraid to be physical. His skating isn’t eye-popping, but he protects the puck well, using his body to shield defenders while still playing at pace. In this particular game vs Owen Sound, he was highly effective, making his presence felt at both ends of the ice and driving his team’s momentum.

Comments: Serlin showcased smart puck placement, particularly in the neutral zone, consistently finding teammates moving into open space. His awareness highlighted his hockey IQ and strong understanding of both his positioning and his teammates’. He was effective in his own end, breaking up plays and transitioning the puck efficiently, and often sparked rushes that began in the defensive zone, contributing to his team’s offense.

Game Rating
B+
Tyler Hopkins played a solid game, showcasing his reliable skills in both faceoffs and defensive play. He consistently stopped on pucks, won battles, and avoided reckless plays at his own blue line, demonstrating discipline and poise. His hands and puck control were good, but it was his intelligent decision-making that stood out, as he rarely forced plays or lost possession of the puck. Hopkins’ goal highlighted his hockey IQ, as he waited for a clear pass, timed his shot perfectly, and released the puck with precision.

Comments: Hopkins is a strong two-way player who commits fully to both ends of the ice. He plays the defensive side of the puck responsibly, wins battles along the boards, and transitions play quickly to generate offense. With quick feet and a shiftiness that’s difficult to defend, he can push pucks into space and follow with his body, keeping defenders off balance. Trusted in all situations, he’s the kind of player you want on the ice to protect a lead or help win a game – as he demonstrated in this one, capping the victory with an empty-net goal.

Comments: McFadden made his presence felt shift in and shift out. He plays with a water-bug mentality, constantly disrupting plays with his speed and relentless forecheck. He created numerous turnovers, even when he appeared to be out of the play, simply by hunting pucks and showing a no-quit attitude. That effort paid off on the scoresheet as well. While he isn’t overly flashy, when given time and space he displays good vision and consistently puts pucks into areas where his teammates can generate quality looks on net.

Comments: Koprowski has many of the tools to project as a high-end goaltender. He is big, athletic, and moves well for his size. He also has active hands, tracking pucks effectively rather than relying solely on his frame to ‘block’ shots. At times, he can play a bit deep in his crease, but his size allows him to get away with it. He reads plays well through traffic and often finds second-chance opportunities in tight because his eyes stay connected to the puck. He plays with composure and doesn’t appear frazzled, even when under duress. Overall, he has significant upside, and with his size and athleticism, his ceiling is high.
Elliot Arnett (D, L, 6’1″, 186, Owen Sound Attack, 03/12/2008)

Comments: Arnett is more of a stay-at-home defender who prides himself on physical play, strong angles, and shutting down plays both off the rush and in the defensive zone. He has an active stick and consistently handles the small defensive details well, effectively ending plays. While there were moments where he used his hockey sense to jump into the rush and provide a second wave of offense, he generally stayed back, offering a reliable presence on the blue line.
Jake Crawford (LW, L, 6’3″, 181, Owen Sound Attack, 05/05/2007, Bowling Green)
Game Rating
B-
Crawford is a physically imposing forward who uses his size to his advantage in winning battles for the puck. He has a knack for scoring important goals, as seen when he collected a puck in the middle of the ice, outmaneuvered a defender, and fired a precise shot past the goaltender. He excels at creating opportunities through his positioning and smart play, often getting to hard areas on the ice and setting up teammates for scoring chances. While not particularly flashy offensively, Crawford provides a strong presence in front of goal and is a reliable contributor to his team’s success.

Comments: Crawford forechecked hard and consistently created turnovers as a result. A prime example came in the first period when an opponent bobbled the puck on a regroup, allowing Crawford to close quickly, win possession, and drive straight to the blue paint. He generated a wraparound attempt that forced a big save from the goaltender. The play exemplified his game well: forechecking with speed, keeping his feet moving, and attacking the net. He repeated this approach throughout the game, applying pressure on defenders and showcasing his motor once he created turnovers. While he has some skill, he is more of a straightforward presence who generates offense by being a driver rather than a finesse player.
Cole Zurawski (RW, R, 6’1″, 193, Owen Sound Attack, 02/06/2008, Notre Dame)
Game Rating
B
Zurawski’s skillset is centered around his shooting ability, often playing with a shot-first mentality that generates offense. His quick release and noticeable power behind the shot make it difficult for goaltenders to anticipate where the puck will go, leading to rebound opportunities in tight spaces. While there may be instances where he shoots from off-angles unnecessarily, his willingness to create scoring chances through his shot is a notable strength.
1 Viewing
Comments: Zurawski is all over the ice, impacting play in all three zones. While not primarily a defensive player, he is willing to come back and break up plays when needed, using an active stick to disrupt opponents. Once he gains possession, his ability to attack off the rush is impressive – he moves his feet effortlessly, carries the puck with purpose, and has the skill to get pucks to the net. Off the rush, he can curl and drag the puck before unleashing hard, accurate shots, consistently creating scoring opportunities and keeping defenders on their heels.

Comments: Mbuyi likes to attack off the rush, using his speed and quick release to create offense. He consistently gets into high-danger areas by attacking with pace, using his edgework to find open ice and get shots through defenders’ sticks or legs. He shows a strong blend of shooting and playmaking ability, which makes him difficult to read and defend due to his versatility in the offensive zone. While he is not the most defensively minded player, there was clear evidence of his back-checking ability in his own end, where he tracked back hard, recovered his stick, and protected the house.

Lenny Greenberg plays a composed game, showcasing strong hockey instincts and poise on the ice. He excels at retrieving pucks in his own end with stick-handling skills and effective passing. In the offensive zone, he reads plays well, pinches intelligently, and maintains possession through precise puck movement. Greenberg’s ability to create space at the blue line and get pucks through to the net is a key asset. He is also adept at making tape-to-tape passes across all three zones, driving play forward with his smart passing. His versatility on both offense and defense makes him a valuable asset to his team.

Comments: Bedkowski is a steady, reliable defender on the back end who brings a calming presence with or without the puck, stemming from his confidence in his abilities. He is strong and uses that strength to win wall battles and establish early box-outs in the net-front area. He blocks shots on the penalty kill and consistently takes away time and space from opponents in the defensive zone. While he is not an offensive defenseman, he can move pucks efficiently up the ice and make solid first passes. Though not flashy, he is extremely effective at what he does and leads by example.
Tristan Delisle (C, L, 5’11”, 183, Owen Sound Attack, 05/15/2007, Michigan Tech)

Delisle showcased his offensive skills with a hat-trick, demonstrating an understanding of how to create scoring opportunities in various situations. He excels at finding open space and timing his shots into the slot, which allows him to generate quality chances. His quick release and ability to beat goaltenders from different angles make him a threat in medium and high-danger areas. In addition to his goal-scoring prowess, Delisle is a well-rounded player who contributes to both offense and defense. He is diligent in supporting his team’s defensive efforts, making responsible decisions with the puck, and managing his shifts effectively. His ability to win faceoffs in all three zones adds value to his overall game.

Comments: Delisle has a knack for finding areas where good things happen, and the puck often seems to find him. He can create offense individually, particularly off the rush, where his speed and quick hands allow him to beat defenders one-on-one. On the game’s first goal, he dangled a defender, attacked the net, and delivered a pass off the pad that went tape-to-tape to a teammate, who made no mistake. The play was all Delisle and highlighted his ability to beat opponents individually while elevating those around him. Overall, whether at five-on-five or on the power play, he consistently made plays and generated offense through his speed and creativity.
