LHD Carson Carels, Cypress River\/\u00a0Prince George\/ (Rank: 3rd amongst North American skaters)<\/p>\n
Brown: \u201cI think he\u2019s unreal. He\u2019s big. Two summers ago, we were training together and I thought this kid is going to be a pro hockey player without a doubt. He\u2019s unbelievable, he\u2019s such a good skater, super smart and he\u2019s a farm kid too. He\u2019s got the size, he\u2019s got the grit, he\u2019s got it all.\u201d<\/p>\n
Liske: \u201cI\u2019d like to talk about his character first, unbelievable guy. There\u2019s not a guy who doesn\u2019t like him. He\u2019s honestly just a great teammate, competes hard. Even when I played with him on Team Manitoba, everyone respected him, everyone loved him. I would say he\u2019s the top D in the draft.\u201d<\/p>\n
Woo: \u201cHe\u2019s a big guy. I think he\u2019s good offensively and defensively, kind of an all-around kind of player. I think he plays with a ton of confidence, he had a great season this year.\u201d<\/p>\n
D Brek Liske, Beausejour\/ Everett\/ Rank: 44<\/p>\n
Brown: \u201cWe played against him a lot, he\u2019s a good player. His game went to another level, took another step in the playoffs there (Everett went to the Memorial Cup) and they lost (captain Tarin) Smith, he was great against us in the playoffs. He\u2019s another guy that\u2019s a smart player, good defender. He plays hard.\u201d<\/p>\n
RW Zachary Lansard, Ste. Anne\/ Regina\/ Rank: 70<\/p>\n
Liske: \u201cOffensive threat, he\u2019s one of my best buddies. So, I see him a lot, he\u2019s also a great guy but unreal skills. Skate really well, just a really good hockey player.\u201d<\/p>\n
Woo: \u201cHe\u2019s a young guy with a lot of skill. I think he had quite a few goals this year (24). Good couple of seasons so far in the WHL, bigger guy.\u201d<\/p>\n
RHD Jonas Woo, Winnipeg\/ Medicine Hat\/ Rank: 177<\/p>\n
Liske: \u201cShiftiest guy out there. He kind of dominated the league this year, rightfully so. Unbelievably skilled, competes real hard.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brown: \u201cWe grew up playing against each other since we were ten, maybe even before that honestly. He\u2019s always been so good, so skilled and super-fast, he\u2019s a one-of-a-kind player. There are not many guys like him, you see it more in the NHL with guys like Lane Hutson, but Jonas is so skilled, he\u2019s always been that way. He\u2019s such a hard worker too.\u201d<\/p>\n
LW Nathan Brown, Winnipeg\/ Portland (Rank: 224)<\/p>\n
Liske: \u201cHe gave us a ton of trouble in our playoff series (opening round of the WHL postseason), plays with a ton of heart, not a fun guy to go up against, he can do it all for sure. He\u2019s a classic Manitoba hockey player.\u201d<\/p>\n
Woo: \u201cI\u2019ve never played against him in the WHL but he\u2019s one of my good buddies. He lives down the block from me; he\u2019s done it all. I think he had a great year, I think he did his role to a tee. He\u2019s a bigger guy, loves the game of hockey, I think he\u2019ll do whatever it takes to get to the next level, I think that\u2019s important.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LHD Carson Carels, Cypress River\/\u00a0Prince George\/ (Rank: 3rd amongst North American skaters) Brown: \u201cI think he\u2019s unreal.
