Since this may have influence on the draft, let's break it out.
Canadians getting spanked 3-0. They are sleepwalking through this game. No one looks impressive for the Canadians so far.
3-2 Finns, Alex Newhook with the snipe from the right faceoff circle. Nice shot.
How's Newhook looked? I'm curious to see if he has a good tournament, if he jumps up the draft boards.
It's still early but he looks really good. Lot's of confidence, dangerous with the puck, strong back checks, looks like the QB on the PP....speed ok. He has been more of threat than Cozens out there. Always questions with guys coming out of the BCHL but if he continues to play at this level he likely gets into the top 10.
My brother is a broadcaster for a BCHL Team and watches the kids closely. He has been saying Newhook is a top ten player for awhile.
Rees though has been the standout for Canada thus far. Kid is everywhere. Lacks size but blazing fast and feisty as hell.
