Aaron Hakala Facts

Agency: Premium

With the puck, he’s a risk-taking, deceptive carrier and passer, who creates a volume of scoring chances. He can beat goalies with his shot on the power play and he’s especially effective at creating off the cycle, at getting the puck off the wall with timely passes and handling moves. His feet never stop in the offensive zone. He likes to circle the ice to drag defenders out of position and find seams to the inside. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
