Cody Croal Facts

There are no shifts off for Croal. He's a menace. He smashes opponents into the boards, throws reverse hits, and gets involved in every scrum. With a powerful stride and non-stop motor, he outworks the few opponents that can't outrace. He's legitimately skilled, too. He hooks passes around opponents, cuts inside before going backhand, and fakes shots before going cross-slot. Additionally, he manipulates sticks to create shooting lanes by putting the puck wide before going back across his body. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
