Ty Hanson

In top form, Hanson looks unbeatable off the rush. He closes his gap as early as possible while maintaining backwards momentum. He backpedals to the middle, forcing the attack wide, then comes across with a well-timed poke and a heavy shoulder to win possession. Those skills translate deeper in the zone, and he proactively eliminates off-puck threats, too. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
