Comments: Frossard plays with pace and confidence, showing a willingness to make plays with the puck. He consistently holds onto pucks under pressure, using pump fakes and deception to create space and find options. His long reach is a clear asset, and he utilizes it effectively in both the offensive and defensive zones. He also moves well for his size, displaying strong footwork at the blue line to gain separation and get pucks toward the net. Defensively, he’s steady and composed — winning battles, moving pucks up ice efficiently, or chipping them out when under pressure. His overall game shows a strong understanding of situational play and decision-making on both sides of the puck.

Comments: Singh is a right-shot defenseman who logs significant minutes for his club. He’s a smooth skater with strong puck management skills, consistently making smart decisions under pressure. He showed good chemistry with his defensive partner, frequently using cut-backs and quick passes to maintain possession and advance play up the ice. In the offensive zone, it was much the same — Singh moved pucks efficiently to teammates in open positions and used his skating to separate from pressure. He contributed offensively by getting pucks toward the net and demonstrated strong situational awareness, showing good instincts on when to activate and when to stay back.

Comments: Snelgrove is an excellent two-way player, effective at both ends of the ice and consistently bringing effort shift in and shift out. One of his standout attributes is his skating, which allows him to hunt pucks back into his own end, break up plays, and position himself in front of the net to shut down scoring chances. Offensively, he contributes significantly as well — pushing pucks up the ice, applying relentless forechecking, and winning 50/50 battles thanks to his speed and agility. He keeps pucks alive in the offensive zone that many players would not, often being rewarded for his persistence. Snelgrove goes to the net hard, is strong on his stick, and consistently creates chaos and scoring opportunities in front of the crease.

Comments: Spada is a big defender who plays a strong, steady game in his own zone. He uses an active stick and long reach effectively to disrupt plays and close gaps. He skates well for his size, helping him start transitions and make clean first passes up the ice. Around his own net, he was dependable — clearing traffic, blocking shots, and using his frame to fill lanes. He also showed confidence with the puck, demonstrating patience by holding onto it longer, outwaiting pressure, and making smart plays when given time and space. While not a major offensive threat, he contributed positively by being on the ice for goals for and finished the game with a +3 rating.

Comments: Wycisk is a big, powerful forward who plays with tenacity and edge. He moves his feet well and never gives up on plays, making him difficult to play against. On Guelph’s first goal of the game, the play initially looked dead, but Wycisk finished his check, lifted his opponent’s stick, and drove hard toward the net. He then faked the goaltender with a quick shot fake before making a beautiful backdoor pass to a wide-open teammate for the goal. The sequence perfectly encapsulated his game — tenacious, fast, and skilled. Beyond his playmaking, he also showed the ability to shoot and finish, making him a constant threat whenever he’s in the offensive zone. He’s a driver and makes those around him better.

Comments: Shybinskyi made several standout plays that showcased his skill and poise with the puck. He consistently created offense by making the extra move and challenging defenders one-on-one, often gaining space and advancing toward the net. Despite not being the biggest player, his ability to protect and hold onto the puck was impressive, as he found smart ways to maintain possession and create opportunities. He capped off his performance with a beautiful goal in the slot, picking up a loose puck, staying composed, and ripping a quick-release shot top shelf to beat the goaltender.

Comments: Belehorsky did an excellent job of collecting pucks in all three zones, protecting them, and creating plays. He remained composed under pressure, carefully assessing his options to make the right play, though he was not afraid to take calculated risks when the opportunity presented itself. He plays a hard, physical game that translates effectively at both ends of the ice, establishing him as a reliable two-way player.

Comments: Stevens was effective in rush situations, both with and without the puck. He attacked the middle lane with purpose, driving to the net and dragging defenders with him, which created time and space for himself and his teammates. He has a natural knack for finding soft areas in coverage where he can receive passes and quickly generate scoring chances. Stevens owns a quick release and a strong shot, able to get pucks off in tight spaces and from difficult angles. Simply put, goal scorers find ways to score — and he continues to demonstrate that instinct consistently.

Comments: Pobezal is strong on the forecheck, reading plays efficiently, cutting off passing lanes, and using an active stick to disrupt possession. He plays with tenacity in all three zones, making him a reliable presence in both offensive and defensive situations. Offensively, he brings a strong dynamic — combining a solid passing foundation with a good shot that allows him to be a consistent threat. He generates offense by creating separation from defenders, finding open space, and either directing pucks on net or setting up teammates in prime scoring areas. Two of the goals scored by his teammates were directly off his stick with high end passes. His ceiling appears high, and his potential is evident on a shift-to-shift basis.

Comments: McGowan made several strong reads throughout the game, effectively pre-pinching along the boards to apply pressure, use his body, and keep pucks in the offensive zone. He plays with an edge and prefers to separate opponents from the puck through physical contact rather than relying solely on his stick — though he does possess an active stick that can disrupt plays when needed. While there is room for improvement in his puck management and decision-making under pressure, his defensive presence and physical reliability continue to stand out.

Comments: Mondoux made several solid defensive plays, effectively closing gaps along the walls and using his physical presence to his advantage in his own end. He also contributed offensively, scoring the second goal of the game with an absolute bullet from the point that beat the goaltender high, top shelf.

Comments: Snyder opened the scoring by collecting a pass from behind the net and, rather than firing it immediately, showed impressive poise by pulling it to his backhand. He patiently waited out both the defender and the goaltender before sliding it far side — a composed finish where many players might have rushed a one-touch shot. The play highlighted his ability to read situations and create higher-percentage opportunities through patience and touch. Beyond the goal, Snyder was consistently noticeable. He was tenacious on pucks, pursuing them relentlessly in all three zones and showing a strong motor. His vision stood out, as he routinely found open lanes and moved into scoring areas where he could make himself a threat with or without the puck.

Comments: Henderson was efficient on puck retrievals, using his quickness and smooth skating to get back with time and space to make plays. He kept his head up and consistently made smart decisions based on the pressure he faced, which led to clean and controlled breakouts. His skating stood out — smooth and agile, both when retrieving pucks and when transitioning up the ice. He displayed strong hockey IQ by reversing pucks under pressure and executing difficult tape-to-tape passes. Overall, his two-way game was impressive, capped off by his ability to get pucks through traffic and on net from the blue line.

Comments: Hopkins was strong in the faceoff circle and reliable in his own end. He played an honest, disciplined game — stopping on pucks, winning battles, and avoiding risky plays at his own blue line. He displayed good hands and skill with the puck, but more importantly, he made smart, controlled decisions, rarely forcing plays or turning the puck over. His goal was a great example of his hockey IQ and poise — stopping in front of the net, taking a pass in stride, and one-timing it home with a quick, accurate release.
