Comments: Hrebik is as solid as they come. He challenges shooters effectively, staying square to the puck and absorbing shots to limit second-chance opportunities. His hands are active—he tracks the puck well and catches cleanly, reducing chaos around the crease. He skates efficiently, with explosive pushes that allow him to stay on his feet and arrive at pucks early, avoiding unnecessary slides that can take him out of position. He fights through traffic and makes the saves he needs to when called upon. In his game against Owen Sound, he was the best player on the ice and gave his team a real chance to earn all three points.

Comments: Gardiner is the type of player you want on your team because he brings compete to every shift, but also has the skill and speed to go with it. He consistently wins puck battles, owns an active stick, and brings physicality when necessary. He reads plays well in the defensive zone, anticipating passes and breaking them up. He leads by example and his work ethic is contagious. He scored his team’s only goal in the first period by picking off an errant pass up high, moving his feet, going in on a breakaway, and finishing with a nifty forehand-backhand play, scoring five-hole.

Comments: Aitcheson is a smooth-skating defender who walks the blue line with ease. His poise with the puck is unmatched, consistently holding onto it to put himself and his teammates in better positions—especially in the offensive zone. He finds pockets well without the puck, allowing him to receive passes and get shots through to the net. He isn’t one-dimensional either; while he can shoot effectively, he also displays strong vision, often spotting teammates in scoring areas. Defensively, he can be a bit aggressive at times—particularly when he’s eager to jump into the play—but the risk/reward factor tends to favor the upside.

Comments: Eliasson is a massive defender who was especially effective on the penalty kill. He consistently blocked shots by filling lanes and using his big frame to take away space. His stick is active and disruptive, utilizing his long reach to break up plays and clear pucks out of danger. He’s strong along the walls and surprisingly quick on loose pucks—his foot speed allows him to close gaps and recover with efficiency. For a defender of his size, he moves well both laterally and in straight lines, showing poise in motion. He can make crisp outlet passes to jumpstart the transition, but also has the poise to make the simple play when needed, reading the flow of the game and adjusting accordingly. There’s a quiet confidence to his game that makes him a steady presence on the back end.

Comments: Passmore is a steady, stay-at-home defender who takes pride in shutting plays down and keeping things simple. He’s big, tough to move, and consistently wins battles below the dots. His net-front presence was noticeable—he boxed out hard, cleared sticks, and made sure his goalie had clean sight-lines at even strength and on the PK. He uses his size to establish body position early and plays with a mean streak, not shying away from hacks, whacks, and the extra shove after the whistle. Got in a fight which shows his willingness to engage physically and try to spark his team.

Comments: Carter George owns a calm demeanor in net, giving his team confidence through his ability to control the game with simple save selection and strong rebound control. A noticeable advantage in his game is his puck-handling ability, which allows him to disrupt the opposing team’s forecheck by getting to pucks first and moving them up the ice. Acting as a third defenseman, he helps limit the opposing team’s zone time. Additionally, in a game where the other goalie saw more action, it’s easy to lose focus and let in a goal that can be detrimental in a tight matchup. George did not do that—he remained rock solid, making crucial saves throughout the game and stopping all shots in the shootout and preserving the win.

Comments: Therrien gets involved physically despite being a smaller player. He plays an in-your-face style with some offensive touch, getting to the inside of the ice and generating quick shots on net. He consistently pushes the pace of play, moving his feet—especially off the rush, with or without the puck—and creating havoc for the opposition. He always finishes his checks and wears his heart on his sleeve every shift. He’s the type of player you love having on your team and hate playing against.

Comments: Zurawski is a shooter. He plays with a shot-first mentality, registering seven shots on goal in this game against Barrie. His release is quick, and there’s noticeable power behind his shot—often catching goaltenders off guard and creating rebound opportunities in tight. He isn’t afraid to shoot from off-angles, which can sometimes be unnecessary, but his willingness to generate offense through his shot is undoubtedly one of his strengths.

Comments: Wray is a bigger forward who plays with speed and a mix of skill. His first step is explosive, creating separation from his opponents, allowing him to use his larger frame to protect the puck and drive to the net. A couple of examples came in overtime, where he jumped on loose pucks, beat defenders in foot races, and attacked the net. Despite not finishing his chances, he had them—and was an impactful player throughout the night, consistently wearing down opponents with his speed, size, and ability to get to the inside ice.

Lenny Greenberg is a highly skilled right shot defenseman who excels at both ends of the ice. His ability to seamlessly transition from offense to defense showcases his exceptional hockey IQ and strategic awareness. He is adept at reading the game, making smart rotations with his linemates, and timing his engagements in the offensive flow perfectly. Additionally, Greenberg’s agility allows him to effectively retrieve pucks along the walls, which he can then expertly distribute to the net-front area, creating scoring and second-chance opportunities for his team. His well-rounded skill set makes him a valuable asset to any lineup.

Comments: Greenberg is a puck-moving defenseman who gets to pucks quickly in his own zone with sharp footwork and smooth pivots on retrievals. He keeps his feet moving and moves the puck efficiently to his teammates, helping to kickstart the transition game. His passes are crisp and accurate, which allows for a quick breakout and often sees him jumping into the rush as the second wave of offense. In the offensive zone, he does a good job creating space at the blue line and getting pucks through to the net—whether it’s a heavy shot or a well-placed sifter through traffic to generate chances.

Nicolas Sykora (LW, L, 6’0″, 175, Owen Sound Attack, 05/24/2007, Quinnipiac)

He possesses a strong understanding of how to create offense, often navigating through traffic with ease and finding space to drive forward. While he may struggle to finish chances at times, Sykora’s ability to generate scoring opportunities is evident throughout his game.

Comments: Sykora made some plays that really stood out, especially in the offensive zone where he utilizes his creativity and vision. He’s able to collect pucks cleanly—even when they’re in his skates—and maintain control, doing his best to make the ‘right’ play afterward. He has a nice set of hands and consistently plays with his head up, allowing him to scan the ice and find teammates. Typically used on the flank during the power play, he was effective at filtering pucks toward the net, generating offensive chances and creating second-chance opportunities around the crease.

Comments: Nansi is a power-forward type player who thrives along the walls, consistently winning battles and maintaining puck possession for his team. He’s a heavy net-front presence, creating traffic, tipping pucks, and being a reliable screen both at even strength and on the power play. He competes hard for loose pucks in all three zones and plays a responsible two-way game, bringing reliable depth to the lineup with the ability to contribute in multiple ways. A great example of his impact is his ability to keep plays alive along the boards, quickly move the puck to support, and drive the net with purpose—showing a clear understanding of his role and playing to his strengths.

Comments: Delisle is a hard-working forward who plays a complete game. A noticeable attribute is his ability to win faceoffs in all three zones, creating more puck possession for his team. He scored his team’s only goal in regulation by putting together a solid 5-on-5 shift, getting to the net, and tipping home a point shot. His well-rounded game and ability to win faceoffs give him plenty of upside as a two-way forward, bringing reliability and depth to the lineup.
