Comments: Brady Ness is a big (6’4′, 215 lbs) defenseman who plays with an edge and makes his presence felt. He protects the front of his net with authority and works hard to clear pucks. Early in the first period, he laid two big hits on Red Deer attackers entering his zone. While primarily focused on defense, he also contributed offensively, carrying the puck into the zone, curling up, and firing a pass that led to a goal from the high slot. Aside from one unnecessary roughing penalty, it was a strong, physical outing for the big blueliner.

Comments: The underager Cohen Williams continues to show flashes of elite potential. He’s a fluid skater with an effortless stride and excellent edge work on defensive pivots. His gap control was tight all night, taking away time and space effectively. Offensively, he worked the blue line well and picked good moments to pinch. Cohen also saw penalty-kill time, where he saved a goal with a great stick check and blocked a shot. Though still searching for his first WHL point, it’s only a matter of time. Cohen has all the tools to become a top-tier defenseman—he just needs more confidence playing against older competition.

Comments: Ethan showed confidence in his final season of junior hockey, turning in a steady and productive performance. A powerful, reliable center, Ethan isn’t flashy but possesses soft hands and smooth speed. On zone entries, he makes the smart, high-percentage play, which contributed to his success tonight as a consistent 200-foot player. Both of his points came on the power play, where he excels near the net. His goal came from a perfect screen and tip, and his assist from a smart goal-line pass that led to chaos and a goal. Ethan’s mature, composed play helped lead Moose Jaw to victory.

Comments: Noah led with physicality and strength once again. He loves contact and often wins body-position battles. On one forecheck, he overpowered a Red Deer defenseman, sending him hard into the boards. It was a clean but forceful hit. Noah was 7-for-16 (43%) on draws and provided a steady outlet option on breakouts. A physical and hard-working effort overall.
Lynden Lakovic (LW, L, 6’5″, 201, Moose Jaw Warriors, 12/12/2006)

Comments: Lynden is another big-bodied forward for Moose Jaw (6’4′, 200 lbs) who combines his size with explosive skating, soft hands, and confidence. He shines on controlled breakouts, where he builds speed before receiving the puck. His acceleration through the neutral zone and fluid puck control allow him to beat defenders with ease. On the power play, he consistently wanted the puck and led zone entries with confidence. With two goals tonight and nearly a third on the penalty kill he was impactful in all situations, logging heavy minutes. A well-deserved first star of the game for Lynden Lakovic.

Comments: Aiden provided steady, reliable defense for Moose Jaw. He moved the puck efficiently on breakouts and was solid in his own zone, maintaining tight gaps and forcing dumps or turnovers. He made a key defensive stop in overtime, when he accepted the rush, broke up the play at the blue line then transitioning the play the other way. Offensively, he earned an assist with a well-placed shot that was tipped in front for a goal. In a high-scoring game, he was one of the few players to finish with a positive rating (+2), reflecting a strong defensive effort alongside his offensive contribution.

Comments: Kash is a gritty center who plays a tough, physical game. In his first season with Moose Jaw, he brings size and strength up front at 6’2′. He consistently finished his checks on the forecheck and played a straightforward north-south style. He battled hard in corners and wasn’t afraid to go to the net. His one notable mistake came late in the game with a defensive-zone turnover, but otherwise, it was a solid outing. Kash went 13-for-19 (68%) on faceoffs, giving his team valuable puck possession.

Comments: Luke showcased his ability to play effectively at both ends of the ice tonight. At 6’5′, he’s extremely difficult to beat one-on-one. He uses his stick well to pressure oncoming forwards and maintains a consistently tight gap. Luke also displayed excellent ability to surf across the neutral zone, making it hard for opponents to generate any rush chances—a skill many young defensemen struggle with, but he executed flawlessly. He added several quick breakouts after puck retrievals, a big shot block in the third period, and led the team with eight shots on goal. It was a strong game overall. As he continues to develop, improving the fluidity of his skating will be key. The smoother he becomes, the more dangerous and confident he’ll be given his high hockey IQ.

Comments: Matthew continues to demonstrate his strong two-way game as a centerman. At 6’5′ and nearly 200 lbs, he’s a master of puck protection, using his size effectively to create separation. He loves to chase dumped pucks to apply pressure and finish checks on opposing defensemen. On one zone entry, he used his strength to shield the puck from a defender, then circled the net and set up his blueliner for a quality shot. It was a simple but smart play any coach would appreciate. Once Matthew widens his base and protects the puck, he’s nearly unstoppable. He went 12-for-23 (52%) in the face-off circle and showed creativity by switching his lefty stick on right-side draws to gain leverage. With one assist and a +1 rating, it was a solid outing.

Comments: Arjun had a strong night against Red Deer, consistently finding ways to make an impact. His athletic, powerful skating style, paired with his 6’3′ frame, allows him to cover a lot of ice efficiently. As a power forward, Arjun thrives in front of the net and works hard for his chances. His first point came from creating a turnover and chipping the puck into space to spring a teammate for a breakaway. Later, with less than five minutes remaining, he jumped off the bench, found a loose puck in a scramble, and beat the goaltender to tie the game at four. Both plays were opportunistic and timely.

Comments: In his third full WHL season, Ty is having what looks to be a breakout campaign. His offensive instincts were on full display tonight, finishing with a goal, two assists, a +3 rating, and a shootout tally. Ty is a speedy skater who creates separation on puck races and closes quickly on the forecheck. His relentless motor causes problems for opposing defenders, but his best work comes with the puck. His puck-handling and deceptive fakes complement his speed perfectly. On his first goal, he recognized a turnover, jumped on a chipped puck along the wall, and blew past the weak-side defenseman. With a simple pump fake, he froze the goalie and tucked it backhand into an empty net. If he continues at this pace, Ty is poised for a career-best season as a point-producing winger at age 18.
Talon Brigley (RW, R, 5’11”, 173, Red Deer Rebels, 02/16/2005)

Comments: Talon played a strong 200-foot game for the Rebels tonight. He excels at reading the play and anticipating how it would develop. In the defensive zone, he consistently disrupted seam passes by getting his stick in lanes, and early in the game he sacrificed his body to block a shot. Offensively, Talon played well away from the puck, finding holes and lanes to jump into. As the high forward in the offensive zone, he broke up a cross-ice pass and then drove down his off-side. Coming down the left dot as a right shot, he showed quick hands with a backhand-forehand move that nearly beat the goaltender. Although he didn’t record a point, Talon finished +1 and demonstrated veteran leadership for Red Deer.
