Draft Year: S80

 

  Kisslinger II has played 14 games so far with the Halifax 21st, he has 11 goals and 20 assists for 31 points in those 14 games. He currently shoots around 16.6 percent, has a plus/minus of 8 and 21 hits this season. He is currently the captain of the Halifax 21st. He is currently in 3rd place in the point race. He is a big bodied left wing, who skates very well and can score you goals from anywhere. He is a sniper that often can play playmaker.  He also does not mind to throw his big body around and will make a hit if needed. He is a much different player than his father, Zachariah Kisslinger, who was drafted by the Prague Phantoms. We believe Kisslinger II will have a much higher ceiling than his father did, Kisslinger II is first-second line talent.  

 

Pros

 

SCORING: Kisslinger II does not shy away to take a shot on goal, and he certainly isn't shy of scoring. Kisslinger currently has 11 goals on 66 shots. which gives him a 16.6 shooting percentage.  He has a very hard wrist shot, and an even harder slap shot. Kisslinger II has lots of muscle to put into his shots. He can shoot from anywhere.  One of the top goal scorers in this draft. 

 

PASSING: Kisslinger II has immerged as one of the VHLM's best passers this season, 20 assists in 14 games shows what a great love for passing He has excellent vision and can read the ice like no other. He has immense Hockey IQ which is rare to come by. His passing is definitely elite.  

 

CONS 

 

ENDURANCE: Kisslinger II is a big body who does not have the gas tank for a long shift. Kisslinger is one of those guys you put out when you desperately need a goal, not when you need to defend. Kisslinger II needs to work on his endurance. He has the ability to do it, it is just if he choses to do so. 

 

DISCIPLINE: Kisslinger II has a temper and can often take his anger out and make silly decisions on the ice. He will take some silly hits when he knows he should not.  He has not taken very many penalties this season, maybe showing some improvement, but only time will tell.  Sometimes he seems like he plays with too much emotion which causes him to get into his head in some moments of the game.
