Mike Hoffman Scouting Reports

Reports: 3
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.

Has averaged around 14:00 TOI in SJ. All of his ice time comes at ES and PP.
Risk / Reward forward. Streaky.

Goal scorer
Power play specialist
He isn't a threat in transition. Not slow but not fast.
Very limited amount of grind and battle to his game.
One of the top shooters in the NHL when he is afforded time and space in the offensive zone.
Defensively his commitment to detail is barely adequate.
