Neutral Zone Scouting Report

"The two-way player who can give opposing players fits. He can play in all situations and supports the play well in all three zones. He is a low center-of-gravity skater with good balance but won’t wow you with speed. He has quick, but choppy hands when handling the puck through open ice. He scored Cedar Rapids’ 2nd goal of the game when he picked off a pass up the middle in the offensive zone and then buried it beating the goalie low blocker side." USHL Game Report, December, 2021

Neutral Zone Scouting Report

"Black is a gifted athlete with a lot of tools. He has a long, smooth stride which allows him to carry the puck effectively and buy time for his poise, vision and hockey sense to create scoring chances. He caught a pass here and in one motion received the puck and fired it instantly which is rare at this level. What stands out is his hockey sense; he really knows where everyone is on the ice and utilizes his teammates to their full potential. He has the dual ability to create both off the rush and in-zone as he was able to pull off defenders in the corners and behind the net and go to the scoring areas either with a pass or skating himself." U18 USA Hockey Nationals, April, 2018

Neutral Zone Scouting Report

"Babbage is a tall, mobile, athletic defenseman who maintains tight gaps and keeps opponents to the outside. He’s gotten stronger this past season and is quick back on retrievals and able to survey the ice and move the puck quickly and efficiently. He works the puck well along the blue line, he can create space and get low shots through and has deceptively soft hands to make subtle plays when pressured. The assistant captain needs to improve his net front defense and be tougher to play against instead of relying on his feet and his stick, but he’s a talented, multi-purpose defender who should be an immediate impact player at Quinnipiac next season."

Neutral Zone Scouting Report

"Offensive defenseman who LOVES to shoot the puck! Responsible in his defensive zone as he owns an active stick. Stays low to the ice and breaks up plays by reading the play and using his poke-check. Has his head up in all three zones surveying the ice for his teammates, but also surveys the ice without the puck. In the offensive zone can step into slot areas and hammer one-timers. Has a quick release and his shot has tenacity as well. When his shot gets on the net, it typically causes trouble – either leading to rebounds or beating the goaltender clean. Lots of upsides to his game." NAHL Team Report, June, 2021
