EJ EMERY

2024-10-31

Scout: Tony

Skating:

EJ is a very good skater, agile, able to stop offensive players by forcing them into bad spots.

Passing/Handling:

EJ is a excellent passer, he can get offense started by getting the puck out of the d zone quickly

Shooting:

shooting is not EJs forte. It is something he will need to work on.

IQ (Vision, Anticipation, Panic/Poise):

EJ has very good vision, and see ways to play good d against rushing players and how to get the puck out of the d zone

Forechecking:

I did not see any fore checking in the games I watched

Defense:

EJ is not BASH defenseman, but more of a passive defenseman or maybe a better term is defensive dman

Best Asset:

EJs best assets are his skating and vision to see plays develop

Biggest Concern:

EJs shooting would be my biggest concern

Top Tier/Role Potential:

Tier 2 is probably the best tier for EJ, he will probably be a good assist man but might not and probably a good plus/minus player .

Justification for Top Tier Assessment:

EJs passing, skating and vision will help him get to Tier 2

50th Percentile Tier/Role:

"EJ could end up being a bottom or 7th defenseman, if he does not add some bash and goal scoring to his game

"

Justification for 50th Percentile Tier Assessment:

Lack of BASH, and goal scoring

Stylistic Comparable:

I would say EJ is similar to Olli Maatta.

Scouts Final Thoughts and Additional Stats/Info:

EJ has to play to his strengths, skating, passing and his vision. He could carve out a good career.

Games Scouted:

2 USHL games
