Adam Mascherin
Vaughan Kings
Forward
5'9, 166 lbs
Year of birth: 1998
The offensive catalyst
for the 1998 Toronto Jr. Canadiens, Adam Mascherin will bring a
multi-faceted skill set to the Vaughan Kings. Mascherin possesses
average start-up speed and his first step quickness will need work
but he remains very dynamic on his skates due to a powerful stride
and excellent edge work, and has the ability to rush the puck from
his own end into the attacking zone up the middle of the rink. Much
of Mascherin's offensive success stems from the ability to bypass
checkers using edges and top flight speed through the neutral zone in
order to create scoring chances from high percentage areas. In
addition to fine edge work in full flight, a few other components are
in play. Mascherin is of modest height but is very strong on his
skates and uses that strength to drag the puck along with opposing
players into the home plate area. Mascherin protects the puck well
and that allows him to dynamically evaluate options in the offensive
zone. Mascherin is particularly effective down low where he relies on
his keen vision to create plays using precise passes, resulting in
shots on net. Mascherin has a strong sense for offence, plays with a
physical edge, and can finish efficiently both in close and from the
top of the circle. Adam Mascherin will represent Ontario in the
Allstate All-Canadians game.
