2014-15: Shinkaruk attended training camp with the Canucks and was assigned to AHL affiliate Utica at the start of the 2014-15 season rather than returning to Medicine Hat for an overage season. As a 20 year old rookie Shinkaruk posted very respectable numbers netting 16 goals and adding 15 assists for 31 points in 76 games. He also chipped in four goals and two assists in 23 playoff games with the Comets.
Talent Analysis
Shinkaruk is a tenacious forechecking winger with great hands. He is offensively skilled and is willing to pay the price to score goals. His ferocious style has taken its toll at times and there are concerns that he will be able to withstand the physical punishment without added muscle and strength. He reads the play well and distributes the puck to teammates effectively.
