Jackson Cates article (source: Wayne Fish)

Jackson Cates' debut another example of Flyers' youth movement – FlyingFishHockey

Making the jump straight from college to the NHL is fairly uncommon but, like the 23-year-old Allison (a Western Michigan University product), it’s a little easier at 23 than, say, 20, as Joel Farabee did last season.

“I’m just trying to stay calm,’’ said Cates in a pre-game media Zoom call from Madison Square Garden. “Focus on what I can control, just play my game, that’s all I can do at this point. I’m very excited.’’

Talent evaluators have compared Cates’s game to that of Flyers veteran Scott Laughton, who is known for his strong two-way play.

“It makes me feel good to be compared to anybody in this league,’’ Cates said. “I’m a 200-foot player, smart on both sides of the puck and have that good awareness on the ice.’’

Cates, 6-foot-0, 175 pounds, attended the Flyers’ development camp two years ago.
“I knew it was a great organization,’’ Cates said. “They took great interest in me. I’m very happy to be here.’’​
