Tyus Sparks Vancouver Giants 4-Jan-08 6-0 196 RC (2026 Eligible, Wiz #148, CS C)
Sparks seems to be a well-rounded player who is thick but not tall. He has
good agility, speed and puck control and is always in the play. Shows
good burst on the carry in and can create chances. Willing to drive the
net and got a good chance on a rush. Had a steal in the offensive zone
for a chance. Had two assists in the game. With high energy and good
offensive skills, this player could be drafted as a prospective
contributor in the bottom six for an NHL team. Currently rated round 5
or 6, but with improvement over the season could jump up some in the
2026 draft. 18-6-9-15 this year for Vancouver, 53-11-6-17 last year.
Ryan Lin Vancouver Giants 18-Apr-08 5-11 172 RD (2026 Eligible, Wiz #8, CS A)
Lin shows fast skating with a smooth stride and it is immediately
apparent why he is highly rated for the 2026 NHL draft. Plays the
penalty kill and runs the point on the power play and showed good
stamina tonight playing long shifts on special teams. Had a good rubout
in the defensive zone. Has more emphasis on passing right now as shown
in his stats; 18-3-19-22 this year, 60-5-48-53 last year. Is a smaller
player and will need to add some strength while keeping his speed and
agility. Would expect more goal scoring as he develops. Rated top 10 in
the 2026 draft right now.
Brett Olson Vancouver Giants 24-Feb-08 6-2 190 RC (2026 Eligible, Wiz #163, CS W)
Good sized forward who is active and has a nose for the net in the
offensive zone. Had several opportunities in the offensive zone,
otherwise had a quiet game. Has a later round grade right now. 19-3-6-9
this year after 64-4-11-15 last year.
Matej Pekar Seattle Thunderbirds 8-Sep-07 5-10 165 LHRW (Undrafted 2025)
Game’s 2nd star with one goal and two assists. Small player and needs
open ice to operate. Not currently graded for the draft after being
passed over last year. 16-6-12-18 so far this year.
Cameron Kuzma Seattle Thunderbirds 17-Jul-08 6-3 198 LC (2026 Eligible, CS W)
Kuzma had a quiet game tonight. Good size and active player. Got a W grade from Central Scouting.
Marek Sklenicka Seattle Thunderbirds 27-Aug-08 6-4 170 G (2026 Eligible, Wiz #178, CS C)
Sklenicka has some potential as a late round goalie pick. Shows good
form and reactions and makes good saves. Came over from Czechia this
year and won the top goalie spot in Seattle. Stats show some
inconsistency with a 4.06 GAA and 0.886 save percentage so far. Seattle
has gotten back its NHL drafted players so that may help.
Ashton Cumby (CHI, Rd. 6, 2025)
Cumby had a goal tonight from point on a low shot, and also had a nice
carry out of the defensive zone late in the game. Had 2 assists last
night, 11-1-5-6 so far this year.
2027 Eligibles:
Blake Chorney Vancouver Giants 13-May-09 6-0 197 LC
15-4-3-7 Vancouver this year. Did not play in the game but was a high pick for Vancouver in the 2024 WHL entry draft.
