NAME: Ethan Eskit TEAM: Yale Lions (CSSHL) HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 5’9, 146 lbs POSITION: Goaltender HAND: Left October 17th, 2020: Ethan is a goalie with tremendous potential. He plays with a lot of confidence and the players noticed it. He made a few big saves with his fantastic glove hand. Even though he only faced 30 shots, Ethan is one of the reasons why Yale walked away with the victory. – Andreas Georgiadis
NAME: Gavin Garland TEAM: Delta Green (CSSHL) HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 5’9, 161 lbs POSITION: Forward HAND: Right October 31st, 2020: The best player in this game and probably right now in my opinion the best 2006 forward in CSSHL. I know it’s only one game but this kid is impressive. His hockey IQ is through the roof and he has the skill to match it. Every time he was on the ice he made the … Read more
NAME: Tristen Doyle TEAM: NAX (CSSHL) HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 5’8, 161 lbs POSITION: Defence HAND: Right November 6th, 2020 vs Edge: He wants to be an offensive threat. That was my biggest take from Tristen Doyle. He wants to have the puck in the offensive zone and be in action. Which is great, but a couple of times he jumped the gun a little too early before taking care of his defensive responsibilities. However, due … Read more
NAME: Charlie Elick TEAM: Edge School (CSSHL) HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 6’2, 170 lbs POSITION: Defence HAND: Right November 6th, 2020 vs NAX: If there’s one thing that’s for sure about Charlie Elick’s game, it’s his ability with his feet. He really pushes the pace of play with his skating and breezes by everyone with ease. I haven’t seen that from many of the defensemen in this year’s class. He’s quick on his edges, giving himself that extra … Read more
NAME: Reid Varkonyi TEAM: NAX (CSSHL) HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 5’10, 170 lbs POSITION: Forward HAND: Right November 6th, 2020 vs Edge: There’s a lot to talk about with Reid Varkonyi, but we’ll start in the face-off dot first. He was dominant in this game. Every face-off seemed to be a clean win for him. It was impressive to see. Secondly, his strength was another aspect that jumped off the page to me. Varkonyi was rarely … Read more
NAME: Brock Souch TEAM: NAX (CSSHL) HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 5’4, 115 lbs POSITION: Forward HAND: Left November 6th, 2020 vs Edge: Brock Souch was the smallest player on the ice, but he doesn’t let that define his play. He gets stuck in battles and actually plays a decently physical game. His intelligence intrigued me. Souch read numerous plays perfectly throughout the game defensively breaking up plays with interceptions turning defence into offence. He’s got a bit of … Read more
Name: Caleb Hadland Team: Red Deer Rebels U15 AAA (AEHL) Height/Weight: 5’9, 155lbs Position: Forward Hand: Left The part that is most special about Caleb’s game is his innate ability to anticipate the play. There are times when he is on the ice that it seems as though he already knows where the puck is going to end up moments before it is even on route to end up there. This allows Caleb to … Read more
Name: Spencer Claerhout Team: Red Deer Rebels U15 AAA (AEHL) Height/Weight: 5’9, 174bs Position: Defencemen Hand: Left There isn’t a defenceman in this draft class as good as Claerhout at getting pucks on net from the blueline. His release from the point is quick, accurate, and he produces shots at a high volume throughout the game — creating tons of secondary scoring chances for the forwards causing traffic in front of the net. Claerhout also … Read more
NAME: Keith McInnis TEAM: Yale Lions (CSSHL) HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 6’0, 161 lbs POSITION: Defence HAND: Left November 7th, 2020 vs St George’s: Keith McInnis showed his strength early knocking down a St George’s forward with ease early on. He’s a powerful player in all aspects with his big frame, strong legs and a good grip on his stick. With all of that, it’s difficult for opponents to dispossession him of the puck. That allows him to … Read more
SSAC Southgate Lions vs MLAC Scott Pump AEHL U15 November 11, 2020 SSAC Southgate Lions: #17 Jake Sokoloski (Center)– Jake played a well-rounded game centring Carson Devlin and Luke Powell, picking up an assist in the process. Jake supported the play well in his own zone and also demonstrated his willingness to backcheck. Jake also forechecked well. #8 Luke Powell (Left Winger)- As a ’07 birthday and … Read more
