Ryan McAllister Scouting Reports

Established an identity early in his freshman season. Led the NCAA in scoring at the 20 game mark. His game went through some peaks and valleys in the back half of the season. In 13 games, before the NCAA tournament, he scored (3g-6a) - which was well below the pace he had set early in the year. His element is offense. Deceptive/ Accurate shot. Scores goals working off the half wall, middle of the ice, and around the net. His hockey IQ is sound. His read/react game is pro worthy. Quick out of the gate - could use more separation speed in open ice. Trending flat compared to beginning of the season - but still (6th) in NCAA scoring.

Continues to play to his established identity coming from Brooks in the AJHL
Off to a fantastic start to his NCAA career. Leads the nation in scoring at the 20 game mark.
His catch and release is elite. Has a deceptively hard/accurate shot. Scores goals coming off the half wall, the middle of the ice, and around the crease.
Three zone detail, overall, is reliable but he does not project as a penalty killer at the pro level
Element is offense. More open ice separation would benefit his game. More quick than fast.

A bit of a late bloomer who is producing to his identity as a freshman at WMU
Coming off a spectacular season in AJHL . He was named CJHL player of the year in 21/22
Displays high end puck touch. His catch and release is quick. He sees plays developing and makes decisions accordingly. Good quickness out of the blocks. Room for more speed in open ice / off the rush. Element is offense. Defensively he isn't poor but he doesn't project to be a player who can play deep in the lineup and penalty kill.
