Hockey scouting, dug in.

Every prospect gets scored on the same 10 tools NHL scouts actually track — not vibes, not box scores. We watch shifts without the puck as closely as the ones with it.

Skating - Speed/Power — top-end speed, explosiveness, and stride power in open ice.

Skating - Quickness/Agility — first-three-steps, edges, and change of direction.

Shot — release, accuracy, and whether it beats a set goalie.

Puck Skills — hands in tight spaces, protection, and control at speed.

Playmaking — vision, timing, and setting teammates up to score.

OZ Hockey Sense — reads and support with the puck in the attacking zone.

DZ Hockey Sense — gap control, positioning, and reads without the puck.

Compete — puck battles, board work, what happens after the whistle.

Physicality — strength on the puck, contact, and willingness to engage.

Size/Strength — frame, reach, and physical strength to win puck battles.
