Scott Kishel
I was wondering if I could get some opinions on him from those that have seen him play. I see that he's going to play in the USHL for a year before heading to UMD. What do you think he needs to work on before heading to UMD? I've heard he's skilled with the puck, a good offensive defensemen but needs to bulk up and get stronger. How's his defensive zone play? Thanks

Yes he played for Virgina and was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in the 7th round, they traded one of their goalies to the Canes for their 7th round pick where they selected him.MNHockey08 wrote:Pretty sure Kishel is from Virgina, MN and he got drafted too.
I was trying to figure out what are his strenghts and weaknesses, what to expect from him when he reaches UMD after this upcoming season.

He is an outstanding skater and has great vision. He is certainly an offensive minded defensmen. He doesn't have a blistering shot or anything, he plays a finesse style. He also plays a finesse style defensively. He hits very little and plays more position and poke-check defense. He could certainly bulk up as he is not very big. He could be a very solid player at UMD in a year or two with the USHL experience.
