Bennett Hatch

Displayed an impressive shot with a quick release and good velocity, showing a clear shoot-first mentality and a willingness to use it whenever the opportunity presented itself. Got the puck off his stick quickly. Also showed confidence in possession, demonstrating the patience and composure to hold onto pucks and make plays rather than rushing decisions. Could benefit from increased attention to detail and defensive awareness in his own zone, although this was an area for improvement across much of his team.

Showed an intriguing combination of size and skill, displaying quick hands, good puck control and strong puck protection. Possessed a very nice release and looked comfortable handling the puck in tight areas. Was relatively quiet offensively against a strong opponent but showed flashes of the skill and offensive upside that make him an interesting prospect.
