WHL: Lucky Lukacevic

Ned Lukacevic (2004), LW

On a line with Brad Schell and Chad Klassen .. comes back deep to support the defenseman .. solid on his skates .. was caught flatfooted and being beaten by a defenseman so he gave the player a heavy duty slash in which he received a penalty .. on the powerplay .. agile skater, with a smooth as silk stride .. made a nice move eluding a check in the offensive zone .. uses his body to protect the puck .. still needs to work on his strength, although it is improving .. goes to the dirty areas to get open and will pay the price to score .. great anticipation intercepting a pass at center ice .. tried to drop down and block a shot, but didn’t time it right .. displays potential to be a sleeper pick in the upcoming draft.

Adam Hobson (2005), C

Shows leadership beyond his age .. communicated with his linemates before a draw .. good speed and mobility to cut down defenders time and space .. takes players out along the wall if he gets the opportunity .. backed up his defense when they pinch in .. holds up the other center on a draw .. received an obstuction PIM .. keeps his feet moving and displays a good work ethic on every shift .. still maturing physically, but will take even a big hit and bounce right back up .. definitely a player to keep an eye on for 05 Entry Draft.

Chad Klassen (2004), C

Centered a line with Ned Lukacevic and Brad Schell .. dished out a nice pass right to Schell who was waiting on the doorstep and able to easily tuck it home .. on the powerplay and penalty-kill .. moves the puck swiftly up to his linemates .. got wide open at the side of the net and blasted home a slap shot along the ice .. while killing a penalty he lost sight of his man and let him sneak in to the open .. wasn’t able to hold off a defender one-on-one even though he had a half as step on him .. was levelled in open ice as he was skating with his head down .. selected the game’s second star.

Jason Lynch (2005), D

Has above average top end speed and first step quickness.
