This evaluation was originally written in July of 2017. We came across it doing some “house cleaning” and loved seeing all of the familiar names with their evaluations. We thought it would be interesting to look back at what our scouts said about them as Bantams.
Neutral Zone had a scout responsible for gathering as much information as possible on the NA3HL Top Prospects event in Attleboro, MA. It was one of the last big events…
The Miami RedHawks have added Caleb Rule, a transfer from Providence College. Rule appeared in nine games this season for the Friars and didn’t register any points. The ’99-born forward…

Twenty years ago Jake probably would not have gotten a sniff of NHL attention, but that isn’t the case now. He’s got a high hockey IQ, great wheels, fantastic motor, is an absolute dog on a bone for the puck and is one of the most competitive players I saw in New England last year (2019-20). And by competitive I don’t mean he tries hard. I mean that it’s obvious that losing hurts his sole.
Andrew Centrella of the Valley Forge Minuteman is our 81st ranked 2004. he played up on the U16 team and is a player we feel OHL teams missed him in…

But you know what I really liked seeing? Declan showed he wasn’t a robot. He was involved physically and emotionally. You could see how much winning meant to him. He was invested in the team and it…
First off, Brody can fly. He’s got quick feet, an extremely powerful stride and is very smooth when transitioning body weight to move laterally. He’s a player who doesn’t slow down when the puck is on his stick and there’s no doubt that he is an…
A lot of of big kids who can dominate physically cheat all over the ice. Nicholas does not. He shows a good understanding of cutting the ice in half while on the forecheck, having an active stick to shut down passing or shooting lanes and he forces players at the lines to create off-sides and icings. This stuff might go unnoticed by the toe drag crew, but it is the little details that college and pro coaches notice because they’ll have to spend less time teaching it.
The Wichita Falls Warriors announced the hiring of Garrett Roth as the organization’s first head coach on Tuesday. Roth played college hockey for Bemidji State University from 2004-2007 where he graduated with…

Below is a listing of Bantams (skaters only) during this shortened season who certainly caught our eye on our go round, categorized into three groups. Our A+ group are the players who we felt just played at a higher level than the rest of the field. Our next category level, A, were players we felt provided great game impact and will certainly impact the minor midget AAA level next season. Our third and final category, B+, were players we felt showed the potential to develop into very good prospects should they continue to work hard at their games.
