Samuel Colangelo

Great skater with size.Is quick out the gate and handles pucks through traffic and stick checks and has creativity to accomplish looks, but has a shooter’s mentality and likes to finish plays. Displays a major league rifle of a shot. He is an excellent passer.A powerful straight ahead North-South skater who can be a bull while on the way to the net and when he gets there. Also has a compact shot he uses when there is little roon to unload the big boy. He is still improving his coordination and a lower knee bend for better balance. When that is improved, he will own the contested areas. Needs to use his gifts every shift to make a difference. Gives a higher effort when he has the puck and seems to be less interested and complacent without it. Being surrounded by a strong cast of players, he has grown much, but you want feel he will become a guy who makes his teammates better. His tool box deserves a higher worth ethic. There is no doubt he had a big part to do with the Chicago Steel's success, along with the bevy of productive players. He has committed to Northeastern University.
