Matheson caught my eye in some U15 views from the OHFs, so I was already a bit familiar with his game, and I was really impressed with how he looked here. The package of offensive creativity, mobility, and puckhandling really came together to make for a strong showing. Within the offensive zone, I could always see the wheels turning, seeing what he was trying to do and that he was always looking to make something happen. Even if a forechecker was trying to close him down at the point, he had more than enough fakes and shifty skating moves up his sleeve to skirt around them, walk the line, and create a lane to get something toward the net. Lucas found the back of the net in this one after walking the line and firing one from the middle lane and also added an assist with an assertive carry into the offensive zone and slip pass to the slot. We’ll see how subsequent viewings of the Colts go, but I was really impressed with Lucas’ game and someone well on my radar to consider for inclusion on my rankings.
