Michael Hage

With the likes of Mac Celebrini, Adam Fantilli, Jayden Perron, and Matt Coronato all moving upward in the hockey careers, the Chicago Steel's current roster doesn't surround Hage with any other horses up front. So the offense makes him the lone pony and funnels through him. A terrific skater who gets up to top speed quickly. The talent and pace backs up defenders as he blows up defensive gaps using his rapid acceleration and nimble hands to slide laterally and force defenders to turn or get burned. He is big and strong, smart and nimble. He makes the players around him better. He is only beginning to scratch the surface in terms of production, because he would be in a lot more highlights if he was playing for a thicker, more talented team. I am of the opinion that his name will be called in the first day of the draft.
