Powered By
The Pro Hockey Group
Note: Reports prior to Sept 2023 were originally graded out of ten, and also included additional categories that have been merged into the current categories.
This likely results in the overall ratings prior to 2023 being decreased in comparison to reports since Sept 2023.

For an `Apples to Apples` comparison between players, we recommend only comparing reports before, or after, Sept 2023.
Results will average out accordingly as more data is accumulated.

Decent size - Right Shot - Leans 2-way 'D' - Has shown the ability to beat goalies from distance, on occasion, by snapping pucks on goal through traffic - average distributor - does not possess an elite offensive element
