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.

Connelly joined Team USA for the World U18 tournament in Finland on loan from Tri-City in the USHL.
Very light but skilled and elusive.
Difficult to check. Slips off defenders. Makes plays. Sees the ice very well. Leans play maker / play driver / distributor in the offensive zone more than shooter.
Defensive detail has a long way to go. Tracking back and supporting will need to improve as he matures.
Pace is fine. Upright stride. Room for more power. Edges are very good / escapes and creates chances in small areas.

Pure offense.
Continues to display elite offensive upside playing at the USHL level in Tri-City.
Providence College commit.
More quick than fast. Tends to lean on his inside edges more than most prospects but it doesn't hold him back.
Creative in the offensive zone. Always in motion. Ability to beat more than one defender off the rush. Slippery / hard to check.
Defensive detail ranges wildly. Late offensive zone exits require attention and more commitment. Offense wins out. Can't teach what he does with the puck on his stick.
