Initial Scouting Report:

A big developing two-way defender with size, speed, and a good first pass. Has a hard time with shot accuracy, but rushes and passes the puck well into offensive situations. Tremendous edge work and acceleration often used to overcome positional deficiency. Plays the body, and willing to drop the gloves if merited. Often attempts to do too much to his determent. Has a chance to be a solid defender if he calms and simplifies his game at the next level. Scouts have likened the physical attributes to that of Dustin Byfuglien, with better speed but a worse shot. Currently looks to be at minimum a future shutdown defender, with the potential to become the coveted top pairing RHD.

 

Playing Career:

Drafted 3rd overall in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft to the Kelowna Rockets Tucker has completely two full seasons with the club. Most recently playing top pairing minutes with Lukas Johansen in all situations in a successful season that saw the Rockets lose in the second round to the Victoria Royals. Tucker was named an assistant captain in 2016, and led the team is assists, hits, and PIMs.

Strengths:

 

Physical attributes (Size and Toughness) - Legubrious plays that game hard and fast. Physically dominate on a regular basis, and capable of using his impressive speed to find hits in all areas of the ice. Willing to stand up for teammates and create space for skilled forwards.

 

Speed - His speed allows him to fly the zone well when first pass opportunities don't present themselves, and to maintain positioning against all but the best of opponents. Very rarely is the opposition capable of separation during offensive rushes.

 

Hockey IQ - Showing mostly in the patience and awareness of his teammates Legubrious rarely turns over pucks, and tends to make the smart efficient plays particularly in the defensive zone. When on his game he plays a fast and simple brand of hockey where he is able to efficiently anticipate oppositions moves and defend accordingly.

 

 

 

Weakness:

 

Shot accuracy: Tucker’s primary offensive weapon is his slap shot, which has as much of a chance of missing the net as hitting it. He needs to improve accuracy even at the expensive of shot speed.

 

Aggressive Play: There are times when Tucker attempts to do too much when the team is down. Jumping out of position for a big hit, taking a penalty in an attempt to initiate a fight, or just being stripped of the puck on an end to end rush. He needs to learn to rely on his team, and not attempt to carry everything on his shoulders.

 

Emotional Control: Playing with an edge is an important part of Tucker’s game, but there are times when he goes beyond with dangerous stick infractions, boarding players in the numbers, and a litany of offences exemplified by his 10 game suspension in his 2014-2015 season for jumping the boards to fight Taylor Crunk of the Victoria Royals.

I love the Rockets stats image, great work finding a good stat line. I also took some time to really analyze each strength and weakness, you didn't just go for attribute names and then write to the attribute. Your Emotional Control part really got me, might be best to invest in Fighting if you're going to do something like that haha.

 

The picture works perfectly at the beginning too, shows you have a lot of passion.

 

Approved!
