TESTIMONIALS

page icon
"Doroff is a tall, athletic forward who led the White Bear Lake Bantam AA team in scoring. He's a rare prospect with size, skill, and grit; he has a long and fluid stride and plays a fearless game. He's disruptive on the forecheck with speed and a long reach, hunting down the puck and finishing his checks. He only scored once here, which was a bullet release snap shot goal, but he has excellent power and a quick release. A high-ceiling prospect who is only scratching the surface of what he can become with his length, athleticism, and scoring ability."
β€” Neutral Zone (Minnesota CCM Boys HP Final 54 16U: 50 Player Evaluations)
β€œHunter possesses that rare combination of size, skill, and compete level that you can't teach. At 6'2", he's already imposing at the high school level, but what excites me most is his upside. He led his Bantam AA team in scoring as captain, showing he can produce offense while being a leader. His willingness to go to the hard areas make him extremely difficult to play against. Hunter is just scratching the surface of his potential, and as he continues to develop his skills and hockey IQ, he has all the tools to be a difference-maker at the next level."
