8/13/23 MHA Showcase – He’s a bit small for the age group but has a pretty good compete level and his positioning on the ice is very dependable. Loved the way he jumped off of draws and got to 50-50 pucks following a face-off. Showed a nice skill set; saw him swat down a puck…

8/13/23 MHA Showcase – A decent skater that gets to scoring areas and competes well. He’s not an overly big kid for the age group but has a knack for maximizing his size to play even bigger than he is. Saw him on multiple occasions box out defenders or shield them off while maintaining possession…

8/13/23 MHA Showcase – He’s pretty active and quick to jump into the mix. Not shy about puck battles along the boards. Hoskins’ positioning is pretty good too. He got out and challenged the point well, forcing opponents to alter shots and even blocked a couple of attempts as well.

8/13/23 MHA Showcase – Skating is good enough to get the job done but would like to see him improve his stride. Very good about stops and starts on the puck and positioning is pretty solid. He’s in the mix and applying pressure as an F1 when he can, but also effective as an F3…

8/13/23 MHA Showcase – He’s pretty quick to react and jump into plays. A pretty supportive center throughout the rink, which is a bit rare for this age and skill level. Pierczynski is pretty busy, keeping his feet moving a ton and all over the ice in a good way. Definitely one to apply pressure…

8/13/23 MHA Showcase – He’s a real big, strong kid for the age group. Solid on his skates and very comfortable with the puck on his stick. One of the more poised ones with possession. On top of that, Pietila has a very heavy shot and quick release that produced multiple goals on the weekend.

8/13/23 MHA Showcase – I would like to see his skating improve but loved his intentions with the puck. Executed a few nice zone entries. One example where he gained the blue line, left a nice drop pass for a teammate to skate into and then drove the net to back off the D. Plays…

8/13/23 MHA Showcase – Not a very pretty skater but he’s a major pest to opponents. A really hungry F1 on the forecheck that disrupts opposing defensemen. Showed a willingness to drive the net hard and generally just hard to play against. Does a lot of dirty work plays well and had a nice tip…

8/13/23 MHA Showcase – He’s very smooth with the puck on his stick. Has a knack for being dangerous off the rush both with and without the puck. On multiple occasions, he adjusted his route through the neutral zone to time his zone entry with the puck carrier. This allowed him to drive the net…
