Captain Clayton Keller excelled with an A+, leading offensively and improving his off-ice presence. Logan Cooley, also graded A+, showcased his dual-threat ability, contributing defensively while building his comfort as a player.
Standout Dylan Guenther secured an A+ for consistently delivering game-winning goals, while Kevin Stenlund impressed with his contributions well beyond expectations, albeit with lingering regrets about his short contract. Barrett Hayton earned an A for strong growth in his two-way game, while Nick Schmaltz received an A-. He reached a career high, despite slower starts.
In the B range, Jack McBain set personal records while providing necessary energy, and Josh Doan struggled to find his role but displayed potential. C+ grades went to Liam O’Brien and Kailer Yamamoto, both facing challenges in consistency and depth.
Matias Maccelli, with a disappointing season earning a D, will need adjustments for a successful return. Overall, the UHC’s debut season showcased promising talent and growth amid significant learning experiences for the young team.
