Game Played in Sadlon Arena
General Game Notes: Peterborough travelled to Barrie and the two teams played an up and down the ice game with lots of shots on net in both directions. The goaltending was excellent on both sides keeping it a 2-1 game for Barrie until the last minute of the game when Barrie added an empty-netter. Barrie had 8 powerplays in the game and was able to score on one of them.

Comments: Ben played an unbelievable game, making many difficult saves. He only gave up one goal on 44 shots, facing many backdoor shots, getting across the net very quickly. He gets across the net very fast, anticipating well, and kicking his legs pads out at the last second to stretch to pucks that are seemingly out of his reach. A few of his saves were highlight worthy and definitely not saves he would be expected to make. He is athletic and more importantly aware and quick to react to passes, getting into position before shots are taken. With the puck he is confident and can start the breakout with passes and rims. He was the difference-maker in this game for Barrie.

Comments: Teague is very solid defensively, leading with his stick to take away passing and shooting lanes. He goes hard into the corners, leading with his stick to take away time and space from the opponent, and using his body to separate them from the puck. He made too many turnovers in this game, especially on the breakouts and regroups, failing to connect on some passes and throwing the puck up the wall to the opponent a few times.

Comments: Alex opened the scoring for Barrie with a shot on a zone entry just before the end of a powerplay. He shot it low, just above the goalie’s pad and benefitted from a good screen in front. He plays hard and handles the puck pretty well which allows him to create offensive chances. He set up his teammates with smart looks into the slot on both the powerplay and even-strength situations. He is an undersized center but makes up for his lack of size with his solid hockey IQ and work ethic. He plays on the flank on the powerplay where he has his head up and moves the puck back and forth with the top player until a more dangerous lane opens up. If he has a shooting lane he will take it and showed he can one-time the puck as well. On the breakout he headman’s the puck quickly and gets up ice.

Comments: Calvin was very noticeable on rushes, creating lots of chances with his patience and smart passes. He assisted one of the goals by passing back to a trailer. He also an entry where he drove wide, waited for the defenseman to finish sliding and then cut into the middle and deked. When he didn’t have numbers on rushes he used delays and Gretzky turns to give his teammates time to get into the zone. He also works very hard on the defensive side of the puck, finishing checks and sacrificing his body to make plays. He was on the ice in the final minute of the game on the 5v6 where he dove to get the puck out of the zone.

Comments: Brad is a two-way center who quietly does his job all over the ice. He handles the puck well and can shoot and pass the puck from all around his body. He had one zone entry where he executed a nice toe drag shot and also used his hands to open up passing lanes. Brad played on the powerplay for his team where he was mostly down low doing the dirty work. He struggled to win powerplay faceoffs in this game, which allowed the other team to send the puck all the way down the ice right off the faceoff a few times. He works very hard on the backcheck and had one specific backcheck where he skated hard and caught a player driving the net and lifted his stick to prevent a grade-A scoring chance.

Comments: Emil is a power-forward who possesses a dangerous shot. He works hard all over the ice to win pucks and uses his strength and determination to keep possession when he wins them. He uses cutbacks with the puck to open up lanes and opportunities. On the powerplay he plays on the flank where he is a go-to shooter, taking hard one-timers and wristers on net. Although he plays a power-forward type of role he also possesses skill and can maneuver around defenders coming through the neutral zone as well. He had an assist in this game with a nice bump and drive play on a zone entry. Emil backchecks hard and takes pride in the defensive side of the game as well.

Comments: Cole is a strong, physical center with good size and a relentless style of play. He battles hard all over the ice and makes an impact every time he is on the ice. He scored two of Barrie’s three goals in this game, one on a catch and shoot play as a trailer on a zone entry and the other an empty netter on a long clear from the defensive side of the neutral zone. He works very hard to get pucks on net, shooting from everywhere, and being a go-to shooter on the powerplay flank both 5v4 and 5v3. He registered 11 shots on net in this game. Cole’s skating can be improved to make his feet quicker as they are a bit heavy now. Despite not being the smoothest skater, he gets where he needs to and uses his above-average work ethic to make up for it. He is also relied on to kill penalties and is a strong defender 5v5 as well. He backchecks hard and uses his stick to take away passing lanes and disrupt zone entries.

Comments: Cole is a young defenseman who Barrie relies on to play lots of minutes and to quarterback their powerplay. He is mobile along the offensive blue line and can make passes to both sides getting his hands around his body well. Overall he distributed the puck well to the flanks where he had dangerous shooters on both sides. He made a few turnovers from the top of the umbrella and needs to work to limit these. On the breakout he showed some good deception and moved the puck well. He showed a lot of potential as a young, new defender in the league.

Comments: Easton played a very strong game, stopping 40 of the 42 shots he faced. He sets his feet before shots and is always ready and in position. On the first goal against he was screened and had no chance to see the puck and on the other goal against he was taken off his feet by his defenseman and left unable to make the save. There were a couple of pucks that he didn’t fully control in the game but he made many big saves, including a lot on the powerplay. On the breakout he can make simple passes but he also recognizes when the other team is changing and will make long passes into the neutral zone.

Comments: Adam is an offense producer who excels with the puck on his stick. He is relied on as the quarterback of the powerplay because of his smart puck distribution and mobility. His skating is very strong as is his puck handling. He creates a lot of scoring chances using both his passing ability and his hard, quick-release wrist shot. He took many shots on zone entries and on the powerplay, ringing one powerplay shot off of the crossbar. Adam can also win board battles and can protect the puck in tight spaces. He earned an assist in this game by winning a board battle and chipping the puck forward to start a rush that resulted in a goal.

Comments: Aiden puts himself in good positions to get scoring chances, finding space on the weak-side of the ice both even strength and on the powerplay. He had a couple of good scoring chances on the backdoor and also set up a play on the backdoor himself. He also has some speed that he uses to push the pace on the rush, bumping the puck wide and driving the defensemen deep into the zone.

Comments: Colin is a skilled, tough forward with good size who can make an impact on both sides of the puck. His ability showed in a few flashes during this game but did not make as much of an impact as he is capable of. He made some great passes in the offensive zone and on zone entries. He created a great scoring chance by getting past the strong-side defenseman and then making a nice centering pass. He had another zone entry where he backhand sauced the puck back to a trailer for a good shot on net. Colin also found himself in the slot with a good scoring chance but couldn’t bury it.
Braydon McCallum (C, R, 5’10”, 193, Peterborough Petes, 05/03/2006)

Comments: Braydon pressures the puck hard and has a strong work ethic. He excelled on the penalty-kill where he disrupted plays by moving his feet and getting his stick in lanes. He caused turnovers on both the penalty-kill forecheck and in the defensive zone. During 5v5 play, Braydon made a nice delay and pass on a zone entry and also made a pass across the royal road for a scoring chance. Overall he needs to make sure he limits turnovers. He made a turnover in the offensive zone and also threw the puck away once on the breakout as well.

Comments: Matthew is a fast, high-energy winger who plays many roles for his team. He uses his speed to drive wide around defenders on zone entries and also to pressure hard on the forecheck. He also handles the puck well and can receive passes from all areas of his body. He showed this ability on a rush where he received the puck on his forehand well behind his body and pulled it in front of him and then cut around the defenseman who tried to step on him. Matthew is also a very effective penalty-killer because of his speed and high energy style, disrupting plays on the forecheck and winning footraces to loose pucks.
