[MacH 32]

Mac Hooper - RW

Name: Mac Hooper

DOB: 10/12/ 2003

Position: RW

Nationality: United Kingdom

Handedness: Right

 

Mac is an up and coming rookie in the next VHLM draft, From the UK he started playing at the age of 10 playing for a local team in a small league and fell in love with the game. Initially finding it difficult to fit in with the team as he was rather awkward but he slowly managed to find his way out of his shell, once he had found his confidence and began playing more freely was when he really started to improve. He continued to grow as a player and learned to play alongside teammates, giving advice were necessary and taking constructive criticisms as another opportunity to improve. The team grew with Mac slowly progressing each year until at the age of 15 he led his local team to a title win and Mac saw that as the perfect opportunity to jump start his move to America and the VHL. He is looking forward to playing in the American leagues and seeing what kind of challenge it will bring to his hockey career.

 
Strengths 

Passing: Mac enjoys the satisfaction of a well-executed pass that sets up a teammate to finish a play. Spending countless hours after practice to hone in on his passing ability. He is enthusiastic about bringing this sought after skill to the VHLM and racking up assists. 

 

Discipline: Making sure to pick his moments has become a key factor in the way Mac plays, biding his time patiently until the perfect moment appears, before sliding the puck across the face of the goal for a rapid onetime shot delivered by a teammate. 
 

Skating: Being quik is Mac’s specialty, moving the puck into the offensive zone cleanly and efficiently he sets himself up regularly to create plays and opportunities for himself and teammates. He has also found the skating ability useful for high-speed turnarounds.

 

Weaknesses

 

Size: Being a smaller player than the rest of the league he runs into the problem of being muscled around a bit, this can be avoided by an improvement to his gym routines and diet. The saving grace of his size however is his speed.

 

Face-Offs: Mac has a pretty weak face-off to be honest, he has spent time practicing it but has yet to make progress. He looks to continue improving his face-off ability.

 

Defense: While he has put some work into his defensive side Mac definitely needs to work on it a lot more, finding himself in sticky situations regularly and needing to use his quik thinking ability to alter the outcome of the mistake, though the lack of any mistake to begin with would be preferable.

 

An enthusiastic young player who looks to be improving his game, he is hyped up and ready to begin his rookie season, looking to open up with a strong start and propel himself up into the VHL with a strong VHLM season behind him is what he hopes to achieve. Once in the VHL continuous improvement and consistency  will be the key to improving Mac's game.

Review: Nice picture selection that's a good size and a solid list of the key attributes of the player. The descriptive text of his background could use some distinction from the rest of the text as It's the same size and font as the below parts of the reports with just a line break to separate it. The sub-heading for "Strengths" and the subsequent ones for "Discipline", "Skating" etc could also use a way to seperate them from the body of the text. This can be done by bolding the text, underlining it or changing the font colour. This would make the report look better and be easier to read as well. The pro's and cons could use a bit more detail as well rather than just picking the stats that are low. You've also misspelt "quik" as "quik" a few times in the report.

 

Overall it's a good effort that could be easily improved by some minor formatting additions.

Review:

 

That's a great jersey.

 

Formatting could use some headers and highlighting. Break things up for readabliity's sake.

 

Summary and conclusion both look good, a lot of the time people use one or the other. Both is better

 

Pros/cons are good. Word count is good. Well done here!
