Kearsey drops down to a low posture and slips in front of attackers, preventing their access to the puck or the net. He takes every puck in motion, carrying them away from defenders on his first touch, and he uses a lot of rapid changes of directions. As he’s constantly moving, deceiving, and activating all over the ice – the defence has a hard time reading his intentions. He threads passes through opponents and participates in all of his team’s offensive zone movements. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
