This game seemed like a bit of a coming-out party for Oliver at this tournament, despite having a few impressive shifts in prior games. In this game, Oliver was regularly engaged in the play, and more often than not was the primary driver of the breakout, transition, and zone entries while he was on the ice. He demonstrated a highly powerful stride in transition, and although he seems to straddle the threshold of in control and out of control with relation to his technical skills, he always seems to be able to maintain possession and push himself further in terms of his technical puck skills. Where he really excelled was in using his core strength and flexibility to add power to his legs when moving laterally through traffic.

Event
Day 5: 2021 USA Hockey Select 16 Camp - The Dashel Oliver that I knew and remembered from the USA Hockey Nationals was back in full force for this contest. Oliver's quickness and ability to build speed continually while circling around his opponents was on display during every shift of this game. His primary, and possibly most valuable function is to gain the offensive zone in controlled fashion, and begin as well as support the cycle with his speed.
