The ’26 handles the puck smartly and provides accurate outlet passing to her defence. Allowed one goal low blocker side because of playing too deep in the net—notably on a two-on-one rush; challenging closer to the top of the crease would improve shooting angles and is an area for refinement. Grade:
|Danika^Dawson^#84|: Dawson is a right shot, right winger, average sized, passive forechecker, average skater, often checks with one hand on her stick, and mostly a perimeter player. An area of improvement would be stronger engagement and aggressiveness. Grade:
Ottawa 67’s U22AA
|Bianka^Kostkova^#5|: Kostkovà has a hard snapshot from point that gets through traffic and to the net for chances. She makes a snappy, quick to move laterally get across the blue line to cover for her partner. Grade:
|Quinn^Toll^#12|: Toll displays great puck control in the neutral zone, safely and smartly taking the lanes and space she was given as she entered offensive zone alone. The 5’7″ forward took the defense outside and sent a hard and high blocker side shot on net that bounces up and drops down behind goalie to put her team on the board first.

The ’28 is hard on backcheck, using explosive first three strides to generate speed quickly. McLaughlin caught an opponent on a rush before they left zone.

Ottawa Senators U22AA
|Lauren^Verhoeven^#8|: Verhoeven is a 5’6″ defenceman, whose strongest attribute was passing. This 2010 birth year player made crisp point to point quick passes, long and hard stretch passes out of Ottawa’s end and cross ice passes intentionally behind hard skating forwards such they could pick the puck up off the boards in full flight. She was above average in all aspects but seemed more comfortable in the O zone. Grade:
|Grace^Lalande^#14|: Lalande, the 2010-born, 5-foot-8 defenceman, was above average in all aspects of the game and has the potential to become an impact player. She played well at both ends of the ice, though her primary area for improvement is becoming more aggressive. Lalande was somewhat conservative physically, particularly against smaller opponents, who made up much of the opposing roster. Her defensive positioning was excellent. When outnumbered in front of her own net, she remained composed, avoided overcommitting, and positioned herself effectively between opponents so she could
react when required. Grade:
|Yiling^Gardner^#20|: Though still uncommitted, Gardner was the best player on either team. As the game progressed, her skill increasingly separated her from the rest of the field. An above-average-sized forward born in 2009, she displayed maturity through a calm, confident performance that improved with each shift. The left-handed shooter possesses a very good shot—just below elite level—and used it frequently and intelligently. Even from poor angles, she aimed low at the goaltender’s far pad to create rebounds. Gardner was difficult to knock off the puck and generated several shots while opponents reached around her but were unable to dislodge her. She was also above average defensively. Often the F1 or F2 on the backcheck, she did not have overwhelming top-end speed, but her first three steps were quicker than those of any other player, allowing her to keep pace with the opposition’s fastest skaters. Gardner’s play improved steadily throughout the game. Had she opened with the same compete level she showed later, she would have established herself as the game’s clear standout much earlier. Grade:
|Avery^Wojtyk^#22|: Wojtyk, the 5’6″ 2009-born forward, performed consistently in all facets of the game.

|Aydan^Thompson^#77|: Despite her smaller frame, Thompson displayed a high level of skill.

Grade:
|Sammy^Dandy^#6|: Dandy is a right shot defender who can play either side. An above average skater both front and backwards. She displays elite passing ability delivering and receiving pucks cleanly. The ’27 is a complete blue-line distributor who executes precise stretch passes out of the defensive zone and engages in fluid give-and-go sequences with partner. Dandy plays power play minutes and actively joins the rush to create odd-man opportunities . Decision-making may be an area for improvement specifically regarding shoveling pucks up the middle from the defensive zone when under pressure. Grade:
|Cecilia^Hayduk^#7|: Hayduk is a 5’7″ right shot, right defense active puck rusher who excels at carrying play up the ice. She shows good angling skills to contain opposition forwards.

The ’27 features strong core balance and stability, making possession difficult to disrupt. She serves as a dynamic F1 on the forecheck, and tracks back with determination on the backcheck.

Pittsburgh Pens Elite U19
|Alexa^Williams^#3|: Williams is a tall, mobile defender out of the Pittsburgh Pens Elite U19 who defends with aggressive gaps and activates with the puck on her stick. She is a quick skater with smooth edges who pivots cleanly and changes direction without losing speed, allowing her to stand up attackers at her own blue line rather than retreating into her zone. Her long reach lets her break up plays early, poking pucks off sticks and closing lanes before forwards can get inside her. She handles the puck well in motion and is confident enough to beat forecheckers one-on-one, and she showed that in the neutral zone when she picked up a loose puck, carried it in with pace, and delivered a clean pass to a teammate in front for a high-danger look. She backtracked hard immediately after that play, showing she is willing to work in both directions and does not cheat for offense. Grade:
|Kendra^Comer^#9|: Comer has a powerrfrul stride and very good speed. She can change directions quickly with the puck. She handles the puck smoothly into the o-zone. She moves in out of space in O-zone fast, effective stick lifts, big second effort girl, works hard every zone. Grade:

|Sienna^Suisham^#25|: Suisham is a quick, competitive, puck-driving forward who hunts pucks, attacks downhill, and plays with pace on every shift. The Merrimack commit reads developing plays before they happen, jumps lanes to steal pucks, and has the separation speed to turn those takeaways into partial breakaways, as she did when she beat defenders to the net and received a pass in stride. Her hands are soft and crafty in tight — she escaped pressure at the offensive blue line against East Ottawa by manipulating a defender and keeping the puck on a string — and she carries with her head up, which lets her pick the right option rather than forcing plays. On the power play the ’27 gets a hard, low wrist shot from the point through traffic and to the net, creating rebounds and second-chance opportunities. She drives hard to the net with the puck, protects it well through contact, and drew a penalty by refusing to be knocked off her line. Her awareness showed up in four-on-four situations where she managed space well, and her work ethic, intensity, and energy are consistent from shift to shift. Grade:
|Khilyn^Natale^#27|: Natale is a poised, two-way forward who plays at her own pace and makes the game simple for her linemates. She is patient with the puck, holding it an extra beat to let lanes open rather than forcing plays into traffic, and she protects and takes space through the neutral zone to buy herself time. Her passes are hard and placed on the tape, delivered with enough velocity to beat sticks and get teammates moving into open ice. In the offensive zone she consistently covers for her defenseman when the point pinches, reading the play early and rotating back to take away the counter. Defensively she works with an active stick in passing lanes and is aggressive with her poke check, stepping up to strip pucks and kill plays before they build speed. Grade:
|Lena^Levins^#71|: Levins is a tall, strong-framed forward who plays a heavy, straight-line game and uses her reach to control play. She covers ground with a long stride and builds real speed through the neutral zone, pulling away from backcheckers once she gets to top gear. She handles the puck in stride and beats defenders one-on-one, extending the puck away from body contact with her reach and taking the outside lane wide. Along the half wall she protects possession with her body and buys time for support, and she does the dirty work in front of the net — she screened the goaltender on the power play and tipped a shot five-hole to open the scoring, then found open ice for a stretch pass and went in alone with three opponents tracking her hard, still beating the goalie with a deke to make it a two-goal lead. Defensively she is in good position supporting her D in the zone, blocks shots, and stays aggressive on her points to in the defensive end. Her offense right now comes from deflections, net-front work, and breakaway chances rather than from a shot that beats goaltenders cleanly — she needs a quicker, heavier release off the rush and in the slot, because at higher levels the net-front and breakaway looks dry up and she will not have a secondary way to score. Grade:
|Madyson^Kirsch^#82|: Kirsch is a fast, north-south forward who plays a straight-line, pressure-based game built on her legs. She explodes out of her first three steps and builds to top-end speed quickly, using strong crossovers through the neutral zone to add pace and beat defenders on the rush. On the forecheck she arrives first, wins the puck race, and forces opposing defenders into rushed decisions and turnovers. She is quick on loose pucks and attacks the net directly with possession rather than peeling off to the perimeter. In the face-off circle she is a reliable option, winning draws cleanly both at center ice and in the defensive zone, which makes her trustworthy in key situations. Grade:

She is strong on her stick, making her difficult to dispossess, and she utilizes her defensive partner effectively. She handles the puck well, often rushing it, and will opt to turn back and reset rather than lose possession or dump the puck without support. Grade:
|Taylin^Lucas^#12|: Lucas is a right shot, forward. Moves into open space in front of the net to create options, but loses stick battles at times. Shows average skating ability for the level. Grade:
|Jenna^Ring^#31|: Ring is a 5’10” regular catching goalie who seals the post well and has above average rebound control off of her long legs.
