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.

Started the U18 Worlds playing to his identity in game vs Slovakia.
Opened the scoring in the first period when he slipped off a check and fired home a snap shot short side.
Undersize / transitional 'D' / PP QB
His ability to make plays in small areas stands out versus his peer group.
Adequate defensively. Active.
There are times he could manage the puck / take a shade less risk trying to make something out of nothing via outlets / defensive zone exits ... but his creativity and overall impact wins out
On the rise
