Fall 2024 Highlights


Neutral Zone Scouting Report
BCHL Showcase Report, November 26, 2024
"Primerano is a good-sized skilled winger with over 100 games in this league under his belt. He plays an honest game – finishes his checks on the forecheck stops on pucks and plays with jam below the dots battling for loose pucks. He kept an active stick in his own end and broke up passes at the point and into the high slot area. He earned the confidence of his coach which was evidenced by being on the ice at the end of the game to protect the lead."

"A smart prospect who always seemed to be in the right place at the right time supporting the puck and creating space for himself. He didn’t contribute on the stat sheet but he showed some puck touch elevating passes over stick blades and got his shot off quickly in stride off the rush. He played first line left wing both even strength and on the top power play unit and was always around the puck – will only get better as he continues to develop his power game."

NOTE
The statistics for the commits, presented in the above table, are categorized by the projected year they will enroll in UNH. For example, I project the "2025 Commits" will begin playing for UNH in the Fall of 2025. My projections projections are based on the following factors:
~ Number of UNH players leaving the team at the end of the previous season and the position they played.
~ Number of incoming transfer players and the position they play.
~ If a NCAA Athletic Aid Agreement has been signed.
~ The year the commit and UNH coaches originally targeted for enrollment in UNH.
~ How old the commit would be upon admission.
~ Number of years in junior hockey and remaining years of junior eligibility.
~ The commit's performance in recent seasons as well as injuries.
~ Anticipated date of high school graduation.
