Game Played in Mary Brown’s Centre
General Game Notes: At one point in this game, the Islanders were up two to one. It was close up until a costly penalty that the Regiment were able to capitalize on it. Icing on the cake was the shorthanded empty net goal that really sealed the deal, but all in all, this game was closer than the score suggests.

Comments: Peddle was able to show tonight that he is a high character player with an exceptional work ethic, and you can count on him to compete every single shift. With a defense first mindset, strong hockey sense, and reliable skating, he is rarely beaten by flashier opponents. His overall game is steady and well rounded, but he lacks the true high end skill needed to consistently drive offense or be a major scoring threat. That is really what your are going to get out of peddle, a lot of solid plays but nothing great, at least tonight.

Comments: Despite his awkward stride, Voyaga an incredibly well rounded defenseman who can handle tough minutes against opposing top lines. While he does not possess elite offensive tools, he is more than capable with the puck and contributes effectively when needed. His greatest strengths are his hockey IQ and his defensive positioning, which make him a highly dependable presence on the back end. Refining his skating mechanics will be the key to elevating his offensive touch.

Comments: Provencher scored a nice goal getting to the net front and finding a rebound from a point shot. The more impressive part of his goal was leading up to it and the battle level he displayed to first get the puck to the point, then win his race to the net front. He competes like this all over the ice and works hard for his points. The younger forward has some snarl to his game against players that are a lot bigger and older than himself. He does a good job at second efforts whether that is the extra stride to get back into his own end, or a stick check into a body check, he made himself known a couple times other than his goal.

Comments: While Lemieux-Goupil does not have one glaring weakness, his overall skill set is simply too limited for him to be relied on as anything more than a heavy body in the corners. Defensively, he struggles to keep up with the pace of play and often finds himself chasing the game rather than influencing it. His stiff hands and awkward skating further limit his ability to make an impact, leaving him more reactive than assertive in most situations.

Comments: Pilgrim-Edwards was able to show that his versatility is one of his greatest strengths. He is an elite defensive forward who uses his above average size and strong skating to relentlessly pressure puck carriers and win battles in all three zones. He is an asset both in front of the net and in the corners and his playmaking ability is quietly impressive. His strength on the puck and poised puck control allow him to create time and space, opening passing lanes and setting up teammates for quality chances. Where he is at his best is when he is hunting the puck carrier trying to create a transition game.

Comments: Laberge scored a nice goal showing his shot off beating the goalie over the shoulder from the tops of the circles. The offensive defenseman will join the rush or lead it, which is how he scored his goal. Led the mid lane drive, got the puck in a grade A scoring space, and snapped it home. He does not move quickly, rather efficiently. Every stride seems thought out. His skating is solid and most of his game is decently well rounded, and Laberge was able to show tonight that one aspect of his game that he does not lack is true high end skill.
Justin Larose (LW, L, 5’9″, 178, Newfoundland Regiment, 04/26/2005, Michigan)
Game Rating
A
Larose possesses impressive skating ability, allowing them to create space and force opponents to chase after them. Their agility enables them to navigate the ice with ease, making them a threat every time they touch the puck. Despite being smaller in stature, their quickness and speed compensate for this physical disadvantage. Their aggressive playing style and willingness to take on all comers make them a formidable opponent. They are confident in their abilities and often push forward, betting on themselves to create scoring opportunities. However, there is room for improvement in terms of puck management, as they sometimes hold onto the puck too long, potentially leading to missed chances.

Comments: Larose is a machine when he is hauling the puck up the ice, and that is exactly what he does, he hauls the puck up the ice and not many defenders seem to want to get in his way. He has the speed and though he is smaller in stature, he plays a lot larger game than his size suggests. He takes risks with the puck offensively and most of them lead to higher quality chances, when they do not, he has the speed to support himself and play defense. The assist he was able to get was him displaying this type of skill, a nice pass into the middle of the ice and through a seam of defenders.
Liam Arsenault (RW, L, 5’9″, 177, Newfoundland Regiment, 11/26/2008)
Game Rating
A-
Liam Arsenault’s game-winning goal showcases his ability to create scoring chances through clever positioning and puck tip skills. He demonstrated the willingness to stand in front of the net despite being smaller than his defenders, highlighting his tenacity. However, his lack of strength and instinctual defensive play is evident, as he struggles to win battles for loose pucks and maintain good positioning.
1 Viewing
Comments: Arsenault won a net front battle for the first goal of the game tonight. Despite his smaller size, Arsenault provides a level of compete that clearly larger defenseman have trouble containing. He is a scrappy player and plays without the puck the same way as he does when he has it. He wants to be first on the forecheck, he wants to finish his checks, and he wants to engage physically. He has a great shot to go with his consistent physical play style. Not all of his eleven goals on the season come from the blue paint, he can get a shot off quickly and can pick his spots with little time and space.

Comments: Girard was able to show tonight that he is a highly toolsy defenseman with a hard, accurate shot, smooth skating, and the ability to create offense with poise and vision. His instincts are solid, and when he is in rhythm he distributes the puck well and drives play from the blue line. At his size, he can outmuscle opponents in puck battles and is an effective crease clearer who protects high danger ice with authority. However, his aggressive style can occasionally work against him, leading to over extensions and costly mistakes. When he reins in that urgency and plays within himself, he becomes a reliable presence at the point and along the boards, helping his team sustain possession and control the pace.
Emile Perron (D, L, 6’0″, 174, Newfoundland Regiment, 04/10/2005)
Game Rating
B+
Emile Perron is a dynamic and mobile defenseman who enhances the team’s back end through his excellent transition play. His ability to control the puck and move it effectively creates scoring opportunities. Perron’s skillset includes a strong point shot, making him a viable triggerman on the power play. While he faces challenges in terms of size, he compensates with good skating skills and reading of the game, allowing him to interrupt passing lanes and win battles for loose pucks.

Comments: Peron was able to show tonight that he is a strong skater who contributes effectively in transition, and his playmaking ability stands out, in the offensive zone he finds soft ice, gets open, and remains a scoring threat. Defensively, he is an issue, not a shutdown presence, but certainly not a liability. His production comes from being able to use size and skating speed at the same time to beat players, and he functions more as a complementary finisher than a true offensive driver, thriving when paired with players who can feed him the puck and set the pace.
Dawson Sharkey (RW, R, 6’1″, 191, Newfoundland Regiment, 07/23/2006)

Dawson Sharkey displayed a well-rounded skill set on the ice, showcasing his ability to create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates. His skating ability allows him to move the puck effectively up the ice, and he does an excellent job of reading the game and creating time and space with the puck. Sharkey is also skilled at distributing the puck to his teammates, stretching the ice and giving the puck plenty of room to make plays.

Comments: Sharkey sealed the deal with the empty net goal that was also shorthanded. Obviously the goal itself was not completely why he had a stand out game but rather the shift that led up to the goal. There is a reason why he is out on the ice at this time in the game, he can control the play with the puck on his stick, he can make the smart play if it is not icing it, sometimes a touch chip is needed to get the puck out of the zone. He works hard and can win races to pucks, this is the type of effort needed to play last minute shifts up a goal, with all the skill that he has, he is also willing to wear a puck if he has to.
Maddex Marmulak (C, R, 5’11”, 157, Newfoundland Regiment, 08/31/2007, Cornell)
Game Rating
A-
Maddex Marmulak demonstrated strong on-ice awareness and reaction time, allowing him to effectively pair his cerebral skills with his offensive abilities. As a winger or center, he excels at driving plays and creating scoring chances for himself and his teammates. His physical presence and defensive IQ enable him to shut down opponents, making him a valuable asset on defense.

Comments: One of the faster players on the ice tonight whose speed is such a threat he does not need many steps to get into high gear. Picked up a nice assist going coast to coast, beating a defenseman wide and getting the puck into a scoring area. When he crosses over, he has his head up looking for either the next play or a defenseman wanting to pinch. Right now his lighter frame allows him to get going this type of speed at such a fast pace but if bigger players can get a step on him or read their gaps right, he makes it easy to be eliminated from the play. Adding a couple pounds to his frame will make him hard to contain with the speed he already possesses.
