  5. Rookie Profile: Gifford Shock Position: C Height: 6'2" Weight: 200 lbs. Nationality: Canadian General Overview: Gifford Shock may have the name to turn scouts’ heads, but his skills remain raw. He has displayed flashes of brilliance from time to time, but seems to be struggling early at a VHLM level. However this could be due to a lack of professional level coaching. Right now, Shock’s game looks pulled straight off of a frozen pond. He shows explosive speed and uncanny abilities with the puck, but his positional play is weak and he seems reluctant to use teammates at times. Puck Skills: Shock’s greatest strengths lie in his hands. He handles from the wrist at a professional level, retaining poise as he carries. He has shown creativity and an affinity to challenging defenders one-on-one. More often than not, Shock comes out better than the defender in these situations. Dynamic puck skills are the cornerstone of Shock’s game. The only concern with puck skills is a tendency to hang on to the puck too long. Shock will dance around opponents and tire himself out. The result is often a bad-angle shot or a giveaway on a forced pass. Shooting: Shock has a quick, accurate release on his wrist shot and snap shot. He often aims short-side while in the high slot. While successful and difficult to save, this is an easy read. He shoots well from his front foot, which allows for release at unexpected times. If he could be coached to use this more instead of setting up in the high slot, his shooting would become much more dangerous. His slap shot is seldom-seen and nothing to write home about. He retains decent shooting accuracy on slap shots, but the power isn’t very strong. Skating: Shock doesn’t have the explosive speed of some of his peers. It takes him more strides to get up to speed, and he often relies on lengthy rushes to get himself up to speed breaking into the zone. While this hasn’t caught up to him yet, it could create problems at a higher level. When Shock starts to face smarter, better conditioned defenders, he will have to step up his acceleration. On the positive side, once Shock is up to speed he is one of the fastest players on ice. Carrying the puck doesn’t seem to faze him at all and he is able to retain speed while puck handling. When he has gained his stride, his zone entries can be lethal. Shock’s skating game is perfect for a fast-breakout team but may bring about struggles in a long possession game. On-Ice Awareness: The lack of awareness is the biggest knock on Shock’s game. He plays like an uncoached player, and has trouble fitting into systems. His style is erratic and unpredictable, which throws confuses opposing defensemen, but also confuses his teammates. The only area where he is predictable is in the high slot. In the neutral zone he will weave and leave himself vulnerable to open-ice hits. In the corners, he will try to outwork opponents when he has open outlets to cycle to. Shock sometimes looks lost in the defensive zone. He gets too involved in the game and doesn't end up marking his man, which can leave open attackers in the slot. He has a preference to carry the puck out of the defensive zone. When Shock is leading the breakout, it goes well but it can be difficult to engage cooperation on a team breakout. Physicality: At 6’2” and 200 lbs. Shock is a sturdy build. When carrying the puck he uses his size to shake off opposing defenders. In the corner he can win battles with a lower-body strength. His hitting game, like much else, is unrefined. He throws body checks at questionable times and will get caught chasing after an opponent for a hit. Future Outlook: Shock’s future depends completely on his coaching and organizational development. In terms of pure talent, he has the potential to be a generational player. He could be a creative, unstoppable offensive force with the right training. However, if a coach is unable to reel him in, he could end up falling into the highly talented burnout mould of many professional hockey players before him.
