New Jersey Rockets vs. Seacoast Spartans

Although the Spartans lost in convincing fashion, it wasn’t all bad. Alexander Weiermair displayed good speed and ability to protect the puck using both his body and stick. Weiermair rushed the puck a couple times this game, getting clean zone entries and was able to maintain puck possession whilst in the zone. This generated pressure down low and in the corners for his team, allowing for the point men to get more open. In albeit a poor performance from the Spartans, Weiermair was a light in the dark and showed good offensive qualities.

Coyotes vs. Toronto Jr. Canadiens - November 2, 2020

Out of California, Weiermair was drafted 16^th to Portland in last years WHL US Draft, and he continues to show why, continually being one of the best players on the ice for Vaughan and was exactly that in this game. Picking up an assist on Vaughan’s lone goal, Weiermair played a strong all-around game tonight. He doesn’t blow you away with speed, but he is an efficient skater, throughout the game using changes of pace and good edgework to create more space on the ice. Weiermair has great control of the puck and consistently displayed it along with his poise with the puck. He was holding on to the puck, using his puck control to keep the puck away from sticks and showed little dekes and dangles at different points.

A two point night for Alex Weiermair means he finishes as one of the highest scoring players in the game, an honor he rightfully deserves for his performance for Team Blue. Weiermair is a player with good skill that plays for the USNTDP, meaning he’s consistently adding little pro details to his game that end up really shining in environments like this. The key to Alex’s production in this game is the same key to his game that’s been working for him all year — a combination of good skill, positioning and understanding how to connect plays together for his linemates. That last bit may not sound overly impressive as many players understand the theory, but Weiermair is one of the few players at this game that seemed willing to prioritize that in lieu of the flashier plays that show up on the highlight reel. It’s for this reason that Weiermair put up the numbers that he did, even if the assists themselves didn’t come from super high-end creation. It’s because Alex Weiermair was playing the connector role far better than most.
