Scouting Reports

"Some scouts have been buzzing about his (Warren Foegele) play of late, a fast-skating, hard-working, two-way left winger. Adding to the chatter is the fact he's one of those seeming 'come out of nowhere' kids who's playing at a level of hockey in Canada that doesn't usually attract many, if any, NHL scouts. Some scouts have wondered aloud whether Foegele may be this year's version of Mark Jankowski, the Calgary Flames' surprise first-round pick, 21st overall, in 2012 from Stanstead College in Quebec, who's now developing and playing well at Providence College." Bob McKenzie, TSN.

"A hard driving, good skating, get in the 'guts of the action' player who plays unselfishly and does the spade work for his team. Is just tapping into his potential and has great room to grow further and thus increase his impact." Craig Button, TSN Director of Scouting.

"It's easy to dismiss a good hockey player playing at a lower level as excelling because of inferior competition. But it's hard not to come away impressed with Warren Foegele of St. Andrews College. Passed over twice in the Ontario Hockey League draft, Foegele turned to the unlikely route of Ontario high school hockey. This late bloomer, who went from 5-8 as a minor midget to 6-1 today, is making some noise that will likely intensify as the draft nears. His impressive offensive numbers speak for themselves. But there's more to his game than numbers. He plays a full 200-foot game, working as hard defensively as offensively. Foegele has excellent speed with his long, strong stride. He has excellent puck skills and soft hands. His lower body strength is exceptional and he gets very low when he has the puck on his stick, making him tough to check. His grit/compete level is very high, and while he doesn't run players over, he does finish checks hard." Kyle Woodlief, Red Line Report.

"He’s always been a talented player and I think that a couple of the attributes that come naturally to him, in terms of being really coachable and working hard, have served him well and he has improved a ton over the last couple of years. All of this is a credit to his determination and hard work and his coachability to continue to grow and learn to continue to be the best player he can be. He has been great to have as part of our program.” David Manning, Head Coach, St. Andrew's College.

"A smooth-skating offensive winger at the high school level. Able to use his speed and quickness to generate chances. Has soft hands and a strong shot, as well as solid vision and playmaking abilities. He’s the complete offensive threat. Thinks the game and reads the play well. Needs work on his shot release, and getting it off quicker and at different release points to continue success shooting at higher-level, more skilled puckstoppers. This kid makes you believe in him when you see him play as he works hard and is involved all over the ice. Not physical at all, turns away from the big hit and does not like the rough stuff too much.” Future Considerations Draft Guide.

"A strong bow legged skater, he boasts exceptional straight ahead speed and plays his wing with efficiency as he operates well playing a north-south game.. tenacious and aggressive in his puck pursuit, he is brash down low and hurls his body at the opposition .. offensive zone hockey sense and creativity come into question as he has a difficult time stick handling.. does a formidable job of getting pucks on goal at all times .. uses his speed to attack scoring lanes as he elects to go through players rather than around them .. shot is hard and heavy, with a better snap shot than slap shot .. defensive game is a work in progress, hustles to get back but effort level is sporadic.” McKeen's Draft Guide.

Shane Eiserman: Incoming UNH Freshman and NHL Prospect

Shane Eiserman DOB: 10-10-1995 Hometown: West Newbury, MA Forward, 6'2", 200 lbs. Shoots Left Commit to UNH: August-27-2011 "I have wanted to go to UNH since I was a little kid. Growing up, I would always love pretending to play for UNH, during street hockey with my brothers and friends. Christmas after Christmas when I was younger, my God Mother Christie would always get me tickets for the hockey games and some sort of UNH apparel to go with them. The jerseys and the UNH atmosphere really stood out to me." from "Kelleher, Eiserman and Team USA Coming to UNH", The UNH Men's Hockey Blog

Scouting Reports

"He has a good package of size and skating, and he makes the most of what is given to him. He's good at picking up passes on the fly and getting into the offensive zone. He’s got a pretty good accurate shot and has a propensity for playing well at important times of the game." Dan Marr, Director of NHL Central Scouting.

"His size and his skating and his aggressiveness are qualities that are hard to teach. It comes very natural to him. The finer points of the game, that's where we're working with him to have some consistency and to use his tools and adapt. When he puts [the puck] on his hip and drives him [a defender] wide and, if he can't beat him wide, pulls up and delays, he's very, very effective. He has enough sense and vision to find lanes ... that is one thing where he's a bit under the radar, I talk to pro scouts all the time. I think that one thing that doesn't jump out at them is his ability to see the ice in tight little areas." Matt Shaw, Head Coach, Dubuque Fighting Saints.

"Shane Eiserman is one of those guys who, for want of a better term, is a freak of nature. He is big and strong and can really skate. He just has a lot of physical attributes that some of us have, and most of us don’t. He’s a power forward who has ability to make plays, score goals, see the ice and find things around the net. It’s kind of a God-given ability that you really can’t coach out of people. Shane’s biggest learning curve was to understand that he’s a big, strong guy, and if he just puts the puck on his hip and uses his skating, his speed and size, you just can’t contain him. The biggest guys in our league couldn’t contain him, and the smaller guys had no chance." Mike Field, Assistant Coach, Dubuque Fighting Saints.

"He’s a a big, strong kid, a true power forward. He definitely made strides over the last few years, and he had a good year in Dubuque. He’s just strong with a heavy shot, and he’s pretty nasty. He’s got a mean streak to him.” John Gruden, Assistant Coach, US National Team Development Program.

"Eiserman went to Dubuque this season to finish high school and was a big bright spot for the Fighting Saints. The power forward is a bull in a china shop and showed a great two-way game this season. His skating is also very good too. The only question I have is how well his offense game will translate to the pro game. Even so, I really like Eiserman in the second round." Andrew Weiss, Future Considerations.
