C Alex Newhook - Victoria Grizzlies, BCHL (2019, 16th, COL)

[Isaac Nootin]

Series tied 3-3. He has 16 points in 9 games.

Series is indeed 3-3, but Newhook has 17 in 10.

Beautiful part of the world.

Didn't they have a restaurant that served insanely good home made pie on the HWY just north of Duncan- I think it was before Chemainus? Something Rooster, maybe?

Red Rooster most likely. Still open I’ll have to try the pie sometime

I thought it closed. Great crust, and the in season pies(Blackberry, Blueberry) the best I've ever had, though there is one place just outside Hope that is very good for Blueberry pie in the Fall.

There are a lot of people here saying that Jost had better numbers than Newhook. (He had a way better team, and I personally don't set much store by stats).

But I noticed that in their draft - 1 years, Newhook's numbers were quite a bit better than Jost's.

A 120 point pace compared to an 80 point pace.

 

[Steve Kournianos]

Prince George completely neutralizing him. Both of his two assists in the series were off blocked shots or broken plays.

Victoria down 2-0 but return home for Game 3 on Monday.

 

[covfefe]

Very quiet so far in a fast and physical series, he hasn't been able to get anything going.

If the Grizzlies left right after the game last night, they'd just be getting close to the ferry to Victoria now. Such a long haul for both teams.

it's been crazy on HFboards lately, people seeing guys some players making huge impact like Matthews, think every single first rounder would come out a PPG player when they are 19 year old... some player take till they are 24-25 year old to figure out their potential and how to make their style fit into the NHL. now as a top 10 had 50pts when he's 23 year old-ish he's a bust! trade him!

Hes only 21 aswell. He probably is more complimentary than a driver but he can and I think likely will get there.

What are they doing to shut him down?

How is Hughes playing? Are his stats a product of Newhook?

 

[covfefe]

What are they doing to shut him down?

PG is playing a very fast, tight checking style and matching Victoria's lines well. Newhook is not getting open or creating space like he typically does. PG has gameplanned around shutting him down and they've done a great job at that so far. They also had the benefit of not having to travel 15 hours north to play the last two games.

Newhooks season is done , my home town spruce kings with the sweep. He did have 2 goals tonight though.

 

[Nabrules]

U18s? Here’s hoping he makes the Canadian team this time round.

 

[TLP]

Hasn’t he been cut from every team Canada team? Other than the Teir 2 West team where he was adequate at best?
Someone doesn’t like him at HC.

He's been cut from 1 team, this past August, and the U-19's as a 16 year old which isn't a part of the POE.

Xavier Parent looked great though!

On the U18 team

How is Hughes playing? Are his stats a product of Newhook?

Hughes was good and worked well with Newhook, but he definitely benefited from playing with him a lot during the course of the season. There are some flashes of talent but I felt he tried to go through players with dangling when it wasn't really necessary. I hope he starts adapting in college sooner rather than later next season because he's certainly far from a bad player.

 

[Thebesthockey]

The U18 will say allot on wether he sticks mid pack first round or drops late first...

Anyone know if the NHLN will pick any of these games up?

Bobby Mac snoozed on this kid all season. Button probably too, I forget what he had him ranked.

Craig didn't have him in his post-lottery mock, and had him #27 latest rankings.

 

[Thebesthockey]

Blends in with all the others
this is why comparing/competing in JrA vs CHL/NCAA/USHL in draft year add defenite ingrediant of uncertainty

 

[DANOZ28]

i know hes a little more risky of a pick but i hope my wild take a hard look at him at #12. we could really use a C with speed.

 

[cg98]

After a somewhat slow first half and a lackluster Jr A tournament, Newhook has really cranked his play up to 11 in the last half. His play at the U18s is night and day compared to the Jr A tounry back in December, he looks so much more confident and comfortable playing against higher competition here and its finally paying off on the scoresheet. Whoever picks him is going to have a steal.

 

[Newfoundland]

3 point game, 3+3 in 6.
