The Results are in, NLSC Night a Success
For the first time, the NLSC skaters and puckstoppers took the ice to wow fans and NHL scouts. They did just that, and perhaps more, it is almost for certain that all these players have talent, and are ready for the NHL.
The scouts have had a meeting, and have released the official results. Here is a look at the NLSC scouting reports.
Alex Buckley
Position: Right Wing
Has a good shot and puts it together with good speed and slick passing. Plays with a lot of intensity and agression, and is also great on the defensive end.
Although he has a good shot, it's not always on target. He's not known to be an accurate shooter. He plays with a lot of grit and agressiveness which sometimes causes him to make mistakes like lose his temper and end up serving costly penalties.
D. Davis
Position: Center
Really fits into playing center, feeds his wingers the puck and shoots it himself if he needs to. He doesn't have many flaws and usually gets the job done.
Davis doesn't show a lot of character, and isn't always too concerned on being on the same page as everyone else. He likes to do his own thing which tends to hurt him in a team sport.
Dean Grant
Position: Defenseman
Solid defenseman that gives a lot of effort. Very hard to beat, and plays his man agressive. He can also get the puck on net which opens up rebound oppertunities for his forwards. Overall, he's a tough defenseman with good speed and good passing.
He doesn't really have a good slapshot that can intimidate the oposition. He's not an offensive threat and doesn't have great hand-eye coordination.
Sam Keon
Position: Goaltender
Good all-around goalie that can come through for a team. Has good reflexes and knows how to use both his glove and stick hand.
He's not always consistant and is not hard to beat when being screened or with bouncing pucks.
Calvin McClammy
Position: Goaltender
Good young golatender who is quick and pounces on pucks.
The big problem with McClammy is that he doesn't come up with a lot of saves. He likes to use his quickness and poke check to grab loose pucks, but isn't great at handling shots.
Igor Peras
Position: Goaltender
Very quick and focused goaltender who doesn't tire out quickly and will not give up a lot of rebounds for second chances.
Although he doesn't give up a lot of second chances, he's not extremely hard to beat with the first. Unkile McClammy, he doesn't have a great poke check and hand-eye coordination.
Peter Robertson
Position: Center
He has all the tools to make it in the NHL. Almost a perfect center for any winger and doesn't shy away from taking the draws. Great passer with tremendous speed and a good mental game. Great leader who doesn't take dumb penalties.
Robertson doesn't have a whole lot of tricks and moves up his sleeve and doesn't have a great shot to match his speed and passing. Not a gritty player who likes to get his hands dirty or play a man agressively.
Ivan Shchipansky
Position: Left Wing
Fantastic shooter with great speed and toughness.
Doesn't have a very good mental game and will often take dumb penalties.
Will Sit
Position: Right Wing
Agressive player with a tremendous shot, great speed, grit, and a positive attitude. He can pull a team out of a jam quickly and comes through in crunch time.
He plays a very uptempo offensive game and doesn't always do everything right like pick the right battles, occassionaly takes bad penalties, and gets caught up in his own performance rather than the team's.
Khalid Sleiman
Position: Defenseman
A committed defenseman who doesn't like to lose. Doesn't usually get beat and likes to join the rush.
Sleiman can occassionally make unexpected mistakes and isn't a stranger to the penalty box. He also doesn't have a great shot and prefers to dish out the puck to teammates.
And finally, here are the stats:
Scoring
Peter Robertson: 2 Goals, 1 Assist, 3 Points
Will Sit: 1 Goal, 1 Assist, 2 Points
D. Davis: 1 Goal, 1 Assist, 2 Points
Alex Buckley: 1 Assist, 1 Point

Sam Keon: 20 Shots Against, 18 Saves, 2 Goals Allowed
Calvin McClammy: 27 Shots Against, 24 Saves, 3 Goals Allowed
Igor Peras: 27 Shots Against, 24 Saves, 4 Goals Allowed
