Ontario Hockey League
Game Played in CAA Centre
General Game Notes: With fourteen goals scored, both teams put on an impressive offensive display. Top-end talent and depth scoring were on full display, but in the end, puck management proved to be the key factor in securing the victory. Sudbury scored eight goals while only having one multi goal scorer.

Comments: As a forty goal scorer, it was quick to see why Rehkopf is able to find the back of the net so many times. Found it tonight not only being an optimistic shooter but that combined with a powerful and deceptive release, makes him a threat from anywhere in the offensive zone. He just picked up a loose puck and without stick handling, took shot that had a bit of a screen but went corner down. It was a shot that people probably questioned why he was taking it, until it popped back out of the net as hard as it did, displaying the power behind the release.

Comments: MacDonell was able to show that he is a threat with the puck. Scored a nice goal to open this heavy night of scoring getting net front space and getting a tip on a nicely placed shot from the point. His game excels in the offensive zone, he is a great skater, with smooth puck moving skills and a knack for zone entries where he is confident enough to take the middle, and open up lanes on both sides of the ice to make a pass. He has a steadying presence on the ice and plays mistake-minimizing hockey, he is not afraid to throw pucks off the glass, an under appreciated art that keeps the puck out of his own net.

Comments: With a cheeky little backhand in tight, Chiarot beat the goalie high putting his team within one goal. Other than the timing, this goal was nice due to how close he was to the goalie and how quickly he was able to raise the puck, showing off his hands. He able to show tonight that he is a slippery skater with the puck and possesses great hands. At times tonight, his playmaking skill sometimes causes him to overcomplicate plays on the ice, he makes simple plays look harder and always has to turn back into his own ice instead of getting north. Creating more north and south plays rather than lateral would have helped him create more entries at the blue line.

Comments: Misa gave his team a fighting chance scoring with zeros left of the board at the end of the second period. To put his team down by only a couple, he showed how well he can place a puck, beating the goalie over the glove with an absolute snipe from a bit of a distance. He plays an overall good game, he was able to show that he is physical enough to win battles with a decent degree of consistency and provide support in his own end before he looks to get offense. With the numbers he is able to put up, his game is typical of someone who puts forth more effort in the offensive zone than the defensive, but that was at least not the case tonight.

Comments: Another power play tally for the Wolves, Coughlan joined the fun with a net front presence and found a rebound laying there for him to bury home. As a smaller player, he does a good job at the net front not getting boxed out of positioning and maintaining a stance that allows him to be first on loose pucks that get shoveled into the corner. When the game got a little out of hand, was where he was able to show some creativity on his entries. Not afraid to try a toe drag but this added a ton of risk to his game, and because the score was where it was, he could get away chasing pucks back into his own end.

Comments: Musty scored a nice goal on a bit of a one on one where he was able to use the defensemen as a screen and beat the goalie low with a quick and deceptive release. Musty has a lot of tools to be one of the better players on the ice night in and night out. Where is at his best and better than a lot of guys on the ice tonight, is pushing the pace as well as being one of the bigger players on the ice. He has the unique quality of being able to bulldoze himself through a defense if he has the speed that creates such a force. When he takes it wide and dips his shoulder, a smaller defensemen has no chance of getting a puck off his stick.
Henry Mews (D, R, 6’0″, 190, Sudbury Wolves, 03/09/2006, Michigan)

Comments: Mews is an offensive threat whenever he has the puck at the blue line. What he does best is use the space that is given to be creative and find seams, lanes, to players in open spaces. A lot of his passes tonight were for quick strikes that ultimately ended up as goals. When Mews is at his best, he is first one pucks and has the space to dictate how the breakout is going to go. He can break a puck out with his feet or beat multiple players with a breakout pass. He has that game changing style where he can be more than one player with a possession.

Comments: Villeneuve scored a nice goal tonight only eight seconds into the second period. Off the power play, at the center ice face off dot, he was able to beat both pinching defenseman to a loose puck and went in on a mini breakaway. With a forehand backhand move, he beat the goalie showing off his smooth stick handling in tight. Where he was really able to shine tonight is in transitioning, Villeneuve has the puck skills, speed, and vision to be an effective puck moving two way forward that forces defenseman to respect their gaps.

Comments: Chitaroni found the back of the net off the rush with a quick wrister that just snuck in past the goalie. With speed and pace into the zone, Chitaroni looked off a potential two on one and decided to take it himself. With clear power behind his shot, he beat the goalie through the six hole as it trickled into the back of the net. Tonight, he was able to show multiple sides to his game, his defensive game is more based on brains than brawn, as he sacrifices physical strength for strong positioning and a good defensive stick.

Comments: Blonda was able to show tonight that he plays a solid two way role on the back end. He is not always in a rush to be offensive, instead picking his times to rush up the ice and more often than not he does not get caught and he successfully establishes offense in the opposite zone. He is not an overly physical defenseman, so he is not the best choice for a shutdown situation where the front of the net needs to be cleared, but in even strength, he plays stick on puck and can create turnovers this way.
