While I could provide a lengthy, in-depth assessment of Veitch's high-level play, in the interest of time, I need to focus my time on the many OHL Draft eligibles, but the Newfoundland native still deserves a mention. I mainly appreciated his game for how he used his physical tools and tactical handling to drive the net. Benjamin constantly protected the puck to the outside, combined power moves and swift puck touches to cut in and drive for premium chances. I could rave more about the presumed QMJHL draft-eligible forward, but needless to say, he's no doubt a high-end player.

Veitch was heavily involved in his team’s offense from start to finish, using his rare combination of size and skill to create offense for himself and his linemates. Once again, he was doing plenty of damage on the forecheck, using his frame to outmuscle smaller defenders with ease and make quick one touch passes to the front of the net. He showed a great ability to play under pressure as well, dealing with contact around the perimeter as he assesses his options and executed on many passes towards the interior. His biggest sequence of the game came on the power play when he peeled back at the offensive blueline, attacked downhill and pulled a puck through a defender to get into space to get a shot off from a high-danger area.

Veitch was the only Newfoundland forward who was able to create offense individually throughout this game. He had a really strong rush play in the first period when he flashed his stickhandling ability to pull pucks through multiple Nova Scotian defenders in the offensive zone to work his way into space before executing a slick backhand feed to the slot for a scoring chance. Throughout the rest of the game I thought he was fully engaged in board battles and using his strength to come out on top and generate puck touches for himself. I liked how wasn’t shy to attack the middle of the ice, drawing defenders towards him in the process before kicking it outside to a teammate who could then attack downhill into space.

What impressed me most about Veitch throughout this game was his ability to use his size to create advantages for himself and his teammates all over the ice. He came out of the gate flying in this one, getting in on the forecheck with speed and delivering crushing body checks to PEI defenders. He was dominant below the goal line as well, winning a large majority of his puck battles before executing quick feeds to the slot. Veitch was even difficult to contain as a puck-carrier in transition, demonstrating the ability to turn around defenders with his speed to create space up high. He had a nice sequence in the first period when he drove wide around a defender, stopped up quickly then executed a spinning backhand feed to the middle of the ice that lead to chance from the high slot.
