London Knights proud to announce William Moore from the,
well with William, we always, you know,
look for that elite talent and, you know,
obviously there's some recruitment to do there with him,
uh you know, signed with the, the program
right now, but you know, we've always felt
that you, you have to have elite players uh
in, in team and on your roster if you're
gonna have a chance to win. And that's what
William brings his hockey sense is very high level,
understands uh how to create offense in multiple different ways
, whether it's getting to the net, tipping puck
finding rebounds or making him at a, you know
, a nice pass that maybe he sees the layers
that other players don't see. Um And then when
you add that into a 663 frame that's gonna fill
out eventually, it's a nice package to, to
have on your teeth. The London Knights are proud
to select from the Bond Kings, Alexi Medvedev.
The first thing that you look at when you see
him play his, his feet and his dynamic ability
to go post to post or to make an elite
save is something that you, he can't teach,
it's just high, high level. Um, he's
already grown since the draft. We measured him.
He's over 61 now. Um, you know,
he's, he's lightening quick in the net. So
I think we looked at him. He's got a
late birthday, so he's got a lot of runway
to continue to develop. And we looked at him
as, you know, being a bona fide number
one in the league and, and with his natural
athletic ability, I think it's something that our coaches
are really excited to work with. London and Knights
are proud to select from the Cleveland Baron Blake,
Carol Smith. Yeah, with Blake, we really
liked his goal scoring ability. Uh He's, you
know, a big strong kid for his age right
now, uh has a little bit of that power
forward, kind of model to his game and,
you know, he's got a shot that if you
give it to him, he's got a quick release
. Uh you can find the back of the net
and you know, one thing that at times last
year looking back to our team, maybe we could
have used a little more of was something that Blake
does really well, which is a pure goal score
. A lot of Knights are proud to select from
the Don Mills Flyer PJ Fagan. Well, with
PJ, we thought he was kind of the new
age defenseman that, that you find a lot of
time, you know, is that or that you
look to find, I should say, uh,
good size. Are you at overÂŁ200? But
skates very well, uh, can transition the puck
out of his own end using his feet. Um
, and then he has a little bit of a
throwback quality to him where he plays physical. He's
in your face. Um, if you're skilled forward
, you're not gonna want to play against us and
we're really excited to, to work with PJ and
help them develop into, uh, you know,
a real strong two way defenseman in our league.
So a lot of the players that we took this
year, you know, they're skating is one of
their attributes and no one would fall along that trend
. You know, he played on probably a little
bit more of an average elding team for what they
normally have in their draft year and, you know
, uh produce points every night was plus minus player
for them on their team. Uh again, transported
the pock out of his own end extremely well.
And uh again, a little undersized weight wise right
now in strength size. So it was a projection
pick where, you know, as he trains and
fills into his body, he's got a lot of
really good attributes there to be a strong, another
strong two way defender to go with BJ in that
draft class. Yeah, we were very pleased,
you know, with our, you know, with
our pick there of, of Brendan and know,
like you said, you could kind of get polarized
a little bit by Martin and, and what he
did, but what we really liked about Brendan is
that as the year went on, he just continued
to, to get better and better and early on
, you can see that he can put the puck
in the net. I thought later as the season
went on his, his, uh, distribution and
passing really took another level and he was becoming a
little bit more of a dual threat player. Um
So again, another player that we really liked and
, and that we feel, you know, has
the potential to put fucking that at, at our
level and, and score goals and, and be
a dynamic offensive player. Yeah, we're extremely happy
with our draft and, you know, all the
players that we were able to pick um some players
that we thought maybe might not be there in those
, those draft class. So um now that kind
of attention, quote switches, focus and now we
put all our effort into the development of them and
making sure that we're helping them with their off ice
training programs or on ice training programs and working with
them in the season so that, you know,
now we can hopefully develop them into the best,
best player possible for the London Knights and beyond.
