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.

Lucius was thriving in Portland (WHL) before suffering a season ending injury. It has been a bit of a slow burn for Chaz since he turned pro. Before his injury he was playing with a great deal of confidence. His pace, strength, and impact offensively overall was (at times) above the WHL level. Continues to display good puck touch in the offensive zone. He has a quick release and rarely holds onto the puck too long before making a decision. On the power-play the puck went through him from the weak side flank and middle bumper. A streaky kind of scorer overall. Middle six prospect trending up before injury - had look of potential top (6) in time

The kind of player who doesn't need a lot of space in the offensive zone to score goals
Quick release. Shoots the puck accurately. Streaky
Has sense to find open / quiet ice in the offensive zone.
Has some grind to his game. Not shy about battling along the boards down low.
200 ft detail has room to improve but not an area of extreme concern
Does not penalty kill at the college level
Used regular shift and on the power play
