Interview

I had an opportunity to interview Lucas Herrmann at the UNH Hockey Media Day on September 25th.

Mike Lowry ("C-H-C"): What would you like UNH fans to know about you, both as a person and a hockey player?

Lucas Herrmann: As a player, I like to play hard and fast and do everything I can do to help the team win. As a person, I like being pretty laid back but once the game starts, I change a little bit.

Mike Lowry: In your games that I've watched online, it's clear you don't mind mixing it up in the offensive zone. Is that an aspect of your game that you enjoy and are good at?

Lucas Herrmann: Ya, for sure. I definitely try to get under the other team's skin. I like what I do because it gets me going as well. I think I do a decent job with that.

Lowry: Do you see yourself as similar to any of the upperclass forwards on the team in terms of style and skill set?

Lucas Herrmann: I'd say I play like (Eric) MacAdams. He covers the puck, always protects it well. He drives to the net and always plays hard. He plays with an edge and mixes it up. I think we're real similar. He's been definitely helping me. All the guys have. They've been awesome.

2018-19 Highlight Reel

Neutral Zone Scouting Reports

From the NAHL Showcase, October, 2017

"Hermann had a level of snarl that at times helped him and at times did not. He walked the line for sure. The 2000 was not intimidated by older players. He was not huge or heavy but very strong and skated well. He worked and finished his checks. He was thrown out of one game for a hit from behind, which resulted in limited viewing. He had some nice tools, soft hands and is a solid prospect."

From Lawrenceville Holiday Tournament, January, 2017

"He is not pretty but gets the job done. Lucas is an average skater with a good shot that he can get off in a crowd. He had a dynamite weekend and was one of the top scorers through hard work and grit. The work ethic is high end and he goes to all the right places and does all the little things to help his team win. A really solid 200ft player who gets in on the forecheck and takes the body, plays a pretty direct game and drives the net."
