Sister: Abby Newhook

Newhook’s footwork, agility and heel-to-heel skating are high, high-end. He can skate circles around the opposition if he wants to

— EPrinkside.com 2019

What makes Alex unique is his high-octane motor. He’s magnetized to the puck in the offensive-end and is constantly in motion

— Hockeyprospect.com 2019

Offensively driven player, he handles the puck with finesse and excels when leading a rush

— Future Considerations 2019

A terrific skater with excellent balance and agility. He has powerful strides that allow him to accelerate quickly and blow by defenders

— McKeen's Hockey 2019

explosive forward … at his best with puck on his stick … always wants the puck … plays with no fear … quick release … dangerous every shift
