8/13/23 MHA Showcase – Wade was real good in tight spaces, with and without the puck along the walls and other high-traffic areas. When he’s out in the open, he can really turn it up too. Had a couple pucks taken away from him that he quickly tracked back down, stick lifted, got the puck…

8/13/23 MHA Showcase – Pretty tall and lanky goaltender that uses his size to take up a lot of the net. Even from his knees, Hubenschmidt stays tall and keeps himself big. Feet are pretty swift too, as he carves his way from the goal line out to challenge shooters. Also snaps up from his…

8/13/23 MHA Showcase – Made some nice pucks to space type plays. He led one teammate with a pass off the wall that they could skate into and attack the zone. Bendall then drove the net hard, got the pass back and almost connects with a third teammate via a one-touch pass from the slot…

8/13/23 MHA Showcase – Naeyaert shows a good first step towards loose pucks. He’s quick to jump into scrums along the walls, jump on rebounds following a shot on goal. He’s pretty competitive as an F1 too and applies good pressure. Opponents are definitely rushed into decisions and forced to make plays under duress when…

8/13/23 MHA Showcase – Can definitely get up and down the ice. He’s got good speed and uses it to push the pace of play with others on the ice. Cook is a little smaller but really competes and works his butt off. He set up a nice scoring chance, then tracked down the play,…

8/13/23 MHA Showcase – He’s a bit small for the age group but I wouldn’t say it holds him back much at the moment. Bates’ footwork is pretty good. Like a running back hitting the hole, he sticks his foot in the ice and gets going north in a hurry. Bates forced a blue-line turnover,…

8/13/23 MHA Showcase – Squatty, thick looking forward but a surprisingly good skater given his frame. Tucker has a great jump off of draws, which I love to see. Shows good attention to detail, engaged in the play and high compete level. Tucker is pretty hungry on the forecheck too, playing super scrappy below the…

8/13/23 MHA Showcase – Kind of a choppy stride, his skating could use improvement. However, he is able to make up for it quite a bit with his hands and puck skills. Made a nifty move that ended up splitting the D and springing himself on a breakaway. Would like to see Blackwood make a…

8/13/23 MHA Showcase – A little light for the age group but it doesn’t stop him from being successful. Polyviou is really good along the walls, very engaged and quick to jump into the mix. Has a tendency to take the initiative and be F1 on a forecheck, applies good pressure on the opposing D.…
