Ivan Hlinka Report – Russia, Sweden, Czechs, Slovakia

Glass Half Full

Watched Glass last night…beast mode again. He could have three points every night…he may get 150 next year Skating looked okay..and really responsible at both ends. He has to be in the top three mix…keeps doing this in the playoffs and who knows..a fellow socuts’ point point is very valid in 8 guys being in […]

Game Report – Kingston vs. Ottawa

It looked like the start of another one of those poor effort games at home for the Ottawa 67’s when the Kingston Frontenacs scored three goals in the first period. However, something clicked after the first intermission and the 67’s stormed back to defeat the Frontenacs 4-3 in regulation. Kingston prospects: Jason Robertson – Robertson […]

Meet your Makar Mario

U-Mass Amherst is going to welcome two high-octane offensive defencemen with Cale Makar & Mario Ferraro joining the blueline next year. Instant offensive infusion for any college team.

Kids in the Hawel Part II

Liam Hawel is Guelph’s first-line center now..quite a jump from fourth line winger in Soo…you like to see improvement and this year he’s the CHL poster boy…really starting to look like Arnprior is going to finally develop an NHL player for the first time since Danny Fridgen. He gets stronger and he’s going to be […]

Ivan Hlinka Report 2016 – Canada and US Prospects

Several prospects for 2018 stood out in this tournament which is usually an indication that this wasn’t a superior set of prospects. This Hlinka tournament featured a thin crop in Russia beyond Kostin, a subpar draft class from Sweden and the US, and no standout Canadian defencemen. At the start of the tournament I thought […]

Jaret was Every Inch a Kailer

Kailer Yamamoto, Jaret Anderson-Dolan and Hudson Elyniuk been put together in Spokane the last couple of weeks…and have been pretty dominant as Spokane’s top line. Will putting all of your eggs in one basket work in the playoffs? If a team can shut them down Spokane will be in trouble..but easier said than done with […]

Mr. Robertson’s Neighbourhood

Jason Robertson’s shot/release aren’t far off of Owen Tippet’s…. deadly from 25 feet out..about the 25th he’s scored there. Puck skills and ability to protect it are good too..and his vision and passing. How much better is his skating than Jonah Gadjovich…30 spots…50 spots? Guess that’s what needs to be figured out, some parallels though.. Gadjovich […]

Scouting a Prospect to the Max

My expectations going into Victoriaville’s game versus Gatineau Mar. 1 were not overly high given the stats and recent reports I’d received from other scouts in regards to Maxime Comtois. The 6-2 center/winger was touted as a top-ten pick going into the season after amassing 60 points and catching everyone’s attention last year as a […]

Hamilton Bulldogs vs. Ottawa 67’s, February 25, 2017

Hamilton boasts three prospects slated to go high in the upcoming NHL Entry Draft, Matthew Strome, Marian Studenič and Mackenzie Entwistle. Goaltender Kaden Fulcher could also be selected in the later rounds of the draft. With the Bulldogs fighting for home-ice advantage, the Ottawa 67’s were fighting just to stay in the playoff hunt. In […]
