Scouting Report
EVALUATED 29/11/2024
Will Scouch
Regional Scout - USA
One of the most agile and purely skilled players available, he was blowing through the neutral zone on a few occasions, pushing pucks into the slot often, and evading pressure well for a player his size. The work rate alone was good, managing to shake off pressure and work his way into scoring areas with determination. A good glue player up the middle of the ice, Cootes was dynamic and aggressive with determination when it counts, but seemed to quiet down as time went by. There were some impressive slot passes and showcases of tight area skill down low that was definitely expected out of Cootes, but compared to many others wearing the CHL jersey, he was a little quieter than usual. This was especially true off the puck, but he still managed to show some impressive evasion and quickness that put him among the best on the team in that regard.
