Gariepy was a player who really started to elevate his game and find his confidence as the camp went along. At his best he was making skilled plays from off the halfwall, using strong cuts and quick dekes to get pucks around defenders to get shots off from the middle of the ice. His one on one ability could definitely catch your eye at times as well, using a series of slick dekes and toe drags to get around defenders while maintain his speed to break into space in tight. Off-puck he always had his feet moving in the offensive zone, either looking to insert himself into loose pockets of space to make himself a passing option or hounding the opposition looking to win back possessin for his team.

It was a coming out party for Gariepy in this game as he was able to pull together one of the more dynamic performances of the entire camp. His high motor along with a versatile attacking style made him very difficult to predict and contain, as he showed the ability to beat defenders in a multitude of ways. His hands were the crux of his offensive performance, using slick stickhandling to toy with defenders and gain access to the middle of the ice. He was consistently able to get off the halfwall by making a strong cut towards the middle and simultaneously pulling pucks around sticks to get a shot off from the inside. He was equally dynamic in transition, using his speed to overwhelm defenders and use a series of toe drags and pull throughs to get around them and get chances off from in tight. He was even using his hands effectively in the defensive zone along the halfwall, using quick dekes to get around pinching defenders and execute a pass in transition for a controlled exit.
