Justin Gendron (RW, R, 6’2″, 198, Victoriaville Tigers, 09/30/2005)
Game Grade: C+
Comments: Justin was a dynamic scoring winger at the U-18 level. He possesses all the tools to be an effective top six forward in the QMJHL and beyond, but will have to continue to work on his explosiveness, play away from the puck and consistency to reach his full potential at the next level. Justin thinks the game very well, possesses great puck skills, distributes the puck effectively and has a very accurate heavy shot. He’s a natural goal scorer. Like most highly skilled wingers he will have to continue to get stronger and quicker to compete and win more puck battles in traffic. This kid has knack for the net and competed very hard vs the Cats, obviously derailed by injuries, but his kid can really play, just needs to keep getting stronger and elevate his consistency and compete level, Perfect example of a player with quiet talent, just needs more time to grow and get stronger.
