Scouting Report
EVALUATED 09/09/2020TPE Hockey
Despite a slow 2020 season with the NTDP, Ty Smilanic remained one of their go-to goal scorers all season long. He came off a strong U17, 20 goal year and even earned a game with the U18 team. Production has been a bit of a problem for the Quinnipiac commit, but the talent is there. Smilanic has a snappy wrist shot with a quick release. He’s dangerous in the slot and likes to sneak into that area in order to get passes. His explosive first steps also make for a player that you have to keep an eye on. Smilanic’s hands are decisive and fast as he's able to cut through defenses. His strong lower body and above average skating also contribute to his attacking offensive style. Smilanic will have to put more points on the board, but the potential for an energetic, power winger is there.
