Ben Danford Scouting Reports

Reports: 2
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.

Deployed in all situations at the OHL with Oshawa.
Leans distributor more than shooter on the power-play.
Good size. Willing to get in lanes to block shots defensively.
Right shot is a bonus.

Skating is solid on straight lines - some room for improvement in small areas / agility.
Competes. Part of leadership group with the Generals. Secondary offense.
