Matthew Wood Scouting Reports

Reports: 1
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.

Projection: Second Line
Trending: Prospect
Big body - power forward - net front on the PP
Leans goal scorer but has shown ability to make sneaky small area puck plays / distribute
Room for more consistent 200ft effort - especially offensive zone exits
Skating mechanics on straight lines are fine.
Room for more power out of the gate / first three stride quickness
Agility / tight turns are also an area that requires improvement and can be exposed when having to defend man on man in defensive zone
