Aldwin Craig Prospect Report

[Eldredman 81]

Aldwin Craig - LW

Mexico City Kings S76 - 48th OA

San Diego Marlins S76 - Trade

6'2'' - 210 lbs

 

Strengths

 

Defense - Craig plays Offense in hockey, but hes a Defensive man at heart. He has always vowed to protect his teammates from the goons of other teams.

 

Strength - Craig has good size for a hockey player (at least he thinks he does) at 6'2'' and 210 pounds. His size is more than just a couple random numbers, as he also possesses great strength at the VHLM League level. Although this won't stand out quite as much in the big leagues, it's something he relies a lot upon while he plays for the Marlins.

 

Passing - Perhaps due to his fear of having the puck, Craig has developed into a solid passer. He is afraid of shooting or handling the puck at the expense of protecting his teammates. How long he can continue getting lucky is unknown, but for now it is enough to impress scouts.

 

Fighting - Craig is really good at fighting at the right time. Rather than physical weakness or something similar, Craig's fighting strengths are a direct result of his teams hockey knowledge. He has yet to have a fight in an official VHLM game, but that is bound to change.

 

Weaknesses

 

Scoring - As mentioned above, Craig rarely shoots the puck. He would much rather pass it off to a scorer and go back to looking out for his team. He never could protect his father and that comes back on him in the rink.

 

Leadership - Craig lacks confidence as a lead hockey player, since he has always been the number two guy. As a result, his confidence can rub coaches the wrong way, making it hard for him to ever show hints of leadership. Perhaps this will improve one day, but for now Craig is trying to improve himself on the hockey rink.

 

Discipline - The downside to Craig's ability to hit hard is his discipline. He will often get penalties for interference for not being able to stop chasing a target after the puck has been passed away. This issue usually happens after a teammate get hit by said target. This leads to the other team being able to earn too many Power Play opportunities, which can lead to disaster to the success of his team.

 

Room for Improvement

 

Scoring - As shown above, Craig needs to work on and improve his skills at taking the shot and making it in the net. With Thadius Sales (star goal tender) as a friend, he is hoping that if he can score on Thad, then he can score on anyone.
