Scouting Notes

Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: May 4, 2016 · Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) · Video (With Replay)
Good acceleration from a standstill. Quick feet.
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: May 4, 2016 · Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) · Video (With Replay)
Great power move to split two defenders with speed and stickhandling, then drives the net for a dangerous backhand shot.
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: May 4, 2016 · Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) · Video (With Replay)
Powerplay time on the top unit, setting up behind the net
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: May 4, 2016 · Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) · Video (With Replay)
Like most of the Finn forwards, he is always in motion, and his edgework is solid when not at full stride
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: May 4, 2016 · Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) · Video (With Replay)
Long legs and solid technique generate a lot of power in his skating, which will only improve over the next 12 months.
Summary By Brian Fogarty · Game: May 4, 2016 · Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) · Video (With Replay)
Another big Finnish forward with good speed, edgework, and hands kills. Uses his speed effectively to change gears and turn defensemen. Constantly on the move, and his edgework allows for subtle speed and directional adjustments when gliding. Smart and willing to do the hard work in the corners. His passes are accurate and he is a capable puck handler.
Summary By Zachary DeVine · Game: Aug 2, 2016 · NJEC 2016 - NJEC · Live
The other of the Finnish wingers, Vesalainen has size, puck handling and shot that coaches dream about. He’s played in the SHL (oddly) but got 19 games in with Frolunda’s men’s club. He can have a tendency to drift wide on plays, but he’s relentless without the puck, plays a very strong defensive game for his age and not afraid of physical play. Might be a top 5 player next summer.
Note By Zachary DeVine · Game: Jul 29, 2016 · NJEC 2016 - Finland Practice · Live
Vesalainen has a big shot that he can get off in a hurry

Vesalainen has pro-size and is very young, but 6’3 already. Played half a season in the SHL

Vesalainen has a heavy shot. Good power.

Vesalainen hounds Sean Day and causes a turnover due to his ability to skate with Day on that play.

Vesalainen strips the puck away and nearly scores a goal. Quick hands and stick made that whole thing work.

Vesalainen doesn’t like to be hit. At all.

Vesalainen does it all for Finland. Out on the PP, top line, and now out on the PK

Vesalainen a few times has covered for pinching defender. Good awareness of where his teammates are on the ice and doing an overall good job.

Vesalainen not as effective as in the USA game, but still influencing play.

Vesalainen is one of the more talented Finns at NJEC. He has the size and ability but can stay or stray to the perimeter for spells. Will go to the center of the ice, but it’s not a given and an issue at times.

Vesalainen taking a bit too long to get his shot off, Canada whacking at his stick as often as possible

Vesalainen with a solid hit on Kolesar. Has been one of the more physical Finn forwards

Vesalainen still no points but is not for lack of effort. Playing hard, going to the net, and chippy as well. Feel like the first point will open the flood gates.

Vesalainen getting to the net, but not working hard to get a good look. Twice this game he has skated himself into coverage.

Generates a lot of speed in a straight line, good acceleration and top-end.
