Neutral Zone Scouting Report
"Smaller forward who led Madison in goals in the regular season. He plays with excellent speed and energy. He used straight line speed to get in on the forecheck hard as well as beat out a few icings. He also used his speed to beat defenders wide as well as wheel the puck around the perimeter. He has some slipperiness to him when he has the puck on the rush." USHL Finals Game Report, May, 2022

Neutral Zone Scouting Report
"LeClerc is a smaller, athletic center that makes plays with his feet and senses. Cy was dominant on the faceoff circle and was able to win them in a variety of ways whether it be a quick pull, using his body or tapping a puck through the opposing centers legs. He accelerates quickly and attacks the play up ice with a lot of pace. He has a quick burst to get going and wins a lot of puck races. LeClerc is tough to get a body on as he is a smaller forward with quickness and can bounce out of traffic and slip through defenders while maintaining the puck. He showed patience with the puck and is able to see to the second layer of the offense and wait until it opens up to move it. Once he dishes the puck, he will jump to become an option to get it back." Game Report, October, 2021

DOB: February 7, 2003. 19 years, 6 months
2021-22 Team: Youngstown Phantoms (USHL)

NeutralZone Star Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
2021-22 Outstanding Accomplishments:
~ 2021 NHL Draft: Selected in 3rd Round (#88 Overall) by Buffalo Sabres
Neutral Zone Scouting Report
"Sardarian is an intriguing prospect who we had ranked late on our draft board but he’s the type of player who could go much higher given his size, athleticism and puck skill. He hasn’t even begun to grow into his frame yet at 6’1” 155lbs yet he still has straight line speed, he can get in on the forecheck and pressure defenders and has a long reach to break up passes and disrupt. He has a clever stick along the boards, he’s skilled off the cycle and can create offense both off the rush and in zone. He plays high on the power play, able to feed passes into the slot and to the backdoor and also work the give and go with his points or the low man and has a powerful one-timer he can score from the top circles. He handles the puck well with his head up looking to make a play and he has the dual ability to protect pucks and burrell his way to the net or make a slick move 1v1 and get around defenders. Talented prospect who has long term potential and just scratching the surface; he was drafted in the second round of the USHL Entry Draft with the plan to play University hockey in the states."

~ Most Power Play Goals (15) and Game Winners (9) in NAHL Regular Season
~ 6th Leading Scorer in NAHL Regular Season, 70 Points
~ NAHL All-South Division Team
Neutral Zone Scouting Report
"Skrastins is a highly skilled, offensive talent that was dominant with puck possession though he was not able to find the scoresheet. He had a game high 8 shots on target and 17 attempts at the net. Kristaps was consistently dangerous with the puck on his stick with his quick strike and ability to attack defenseman. He could beat you in a variety of ways with pace or his smooth, quick hands, pull up and shoot or find a linemate through traffic. At both ends of the ice, he plays a cerebral style and kills penalties as well as runs the powerplay. There is zero panic under pressure, and he can make things happen from nothing. He can generate chances on his own as he is creative to see through different options. Even without finding the back of the net, he played a confident game and was a threat every shift."

Neutral Zone Scouting Report
"Good size, consistent, two-way forward. He is responsible at both ends of the ice and doesn’t cheat for offense. He maintains good position defensively and makes good reads to intercept passes or break-up plays. He is excellent with puck protection and cycling in the offensive zone. He used his body and strong hands to protect the puck and cycle down low. He QBed the PP. He scored the opening goal in game 1 by winning a puck battle, moving the puck to the point man, getting to the front of the net, and displaying good hand-eye coordination to deflect the point shot with his backhand at waist level."
