Notre Dame's puck possession style fits Evans' game well. He is responsible in all three zones and makes smart decisions with the puck. He also can play a grinding style and muck it up physically.

Evans, who scored 16 goals and 47 assists this past winter for the Buzzers, will likely go somewhere in the fourth or fifth round. He is the type of player that should stay in college throughout his four-year career before signing a pro deal.

Strengths: Great vision, ability to find seams, smart decisions with the puck

Weakness: Sometimes criticized for not shooting enough

 

[WeThreeKings]

Evans is a skilled offensive winger for the St. Michael’s Buzzers. Jake is currently committed to
play NCAA hockey at the University of Notre Dame. Evans displays a strong offensive skill set and
has continuously improved his offensive numbers at the Junior A level. He is an elite finisher in the
league and has the ability to take over games with his offence. Jake is a strong smooth skater and
has the ability to beat defenders wide with a quick burst. He displays good hands and elite puck
skills in the offensive zone and is good at finding openings in coverage.
2014 BLACK BOOK -46 2014 NHL DRAFT PROSPECTSEvans has a strong wrist shot with a quick release coming off the half wall on the powerplay that is
very effective. Jake is also a good playmaker and uses his vision well to set up teammates with
crisp cross ice passes or threads the needle through traffic for backdoor opportunities. He stands up
for himself after whistles and is not afraid to use his stick for cross checks or slashes when pushed.
Jake can disappear at times when games get to physical and needs to work at bringing a consistent
effort every shift. There are some games when he is an absolute game changer while others he
looks like he does not even want to be on the ice.

 

[Habs Icing]

I'm unclear about what I should be doing in here. Anyone wanna help me out?

Make some comment even if you never saw him play a minute of Hawkey.

The steal of the draft

 

[Hoople]

6'0" 174 lbs according to elite prospects.

But can he fight?

Discuss.

Yes, but not well.

He will either be hated because he stands up for himself and fights but will be loved because he cannot fight well.

Too early to tell.

Thank God he is not a smurf.

 

[Runner77]

Discus Jake

Jake passes the discus too much. We seem to have the market cornered in playmakers, not enough shooters.

 

[Disappearing Semin]

Another few killers and Boston will be scared of us

 

[bigtimehockeyfan999*]

We just picked Matt Damon Jr

holy **** thats uncanny

 

[montreal]

At Notre Dame next year, he will be in the same conference as Hayden Hawkey. ND had a tough year so they will be looking to turn it around as it was their first season in the Hockey East conference after being in the CCHA.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

He sounds like a player who could end up making the NHL club down the road based on his scouting report.

You wonder which report we should look at.....this one?

heard that he wouldn't get drafted because he was a little slight to be projected out that far but he's supposed to be pretty gifted with the puck and very creative. Not sure where the physicality/grit stuff came from him. Should learn how to play his zones at Notre Dame though

Will eventually replace Bork in the lineup

 

[Whitesnake]

I have 2 favorite NCAA Teams. Michigan and....Notre-Dame. Habs will not have a prospect in Michigan since Pacioretty. But....we're adding one to Notre-Dame.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Apparently he has a lethal shot he needs to use more

 

[BeliveauFan4ever]

Jake Evans. Nice.

Another '15 bargaining chip Garth Snow might find too good to pass up.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Hopefully he pans out unlike another player from the OJHL we drafted: Dustin Walsh.

i love ND

http://youtu.be/26rAKbXEY7Y

I used to go to Collège Notre-Dame as my École secondaire and somehow decided that it was cool to love the American counterpart...never stopped since then.

My love for the Wolverines started when my father bought me a Wolverines T-Shirt when I was fairly young....never stopped cheering for them since then.

2 great reasons....
