Prospect statistics - September

This is something I’d been meaning to do a couple of days ago, but certain things (illness, bachelor party, subsequent second illness) have conspired against me. But no longer, so here I present Bubbling-Under’s September prospect statistics.

A word of warning; these stats have been compiled by a fan. This isn’t by any means definitive. This is a tool to be used by similar-minded fans to grade our prospects. Also, the CHL websites are absolutely horrible this year for personal stats-tracking applications such as this. I’ve done the best I can, and hope that in the future I can get by using eliteprospects.com for the CHL and AHL prospects.

With all that said, on to the stats. The three CHL leagues are under way, and our two prospects in the Elite Leagues in Europe have been under way for more than half a month now. I’m still awaiting word on the USHL and NCAA season openers, while the AHL and ECHL will be underway in about a week’s time.

---------------------------

Cameron Abney: 3GP 0-0-0 -3 0PIM

For a fighter trying to become a well-rounded hockey player, he hasn’t done a whole hell of a lot of...well anything. A disappointing September.

Drew Czerwonka: 2GP 0-0-0 -2 4PIM

Another pugilist, but at least he’s putting up a couple of PIMs. I didn’t come into this year expecting much, so at least he’s meeting expectations.

Curtis Hamilton: 2GP 0-2-2 -2 2PIM

A solid start to the season for Hamilton, and he’s still healthy. Both are positives. Better work on that minus-column however.

Anton Lander: 5GP 0-3-3 +1 6 PIM 8 shots 89:03TOI

This is why I love eliteprospects. More stats for me to play around with and use for interpretation. Lowetide is using the top corner of his site as a shrine to Lander and his FO%. A great start to the season offensively for Lander, who is currently holding down the 3C spot for Timra and is an assistant captain.

Ryan Martindale: 2GP 0-2-2 0 2PIM

I’d hoped that Martindale would be able to be an offensive leader on this team, and he’s showing he’s fully capable of it. Here’s hoping his compete level remains high all season.

Tyler Pitlick: 1GP 0-0-0 -1 0PIM

It’s a one game sample size. Not much can be said here.

Kristians Pelss: 3GP 0-0-0 -2 4PIM

Again, a player who is coming in without expectations. Judging from his stat-line, he’s adjusting.

Toni Rajala: 4GP 1-2-3 -1 0PIM 19shots 56:19TOI

This is a nice stat line, but it must be stressed that Ilves played 7 games in September with Rajala missing the last three. That’s cause for concern. Is it injury or military? I really don’t know.

Jeremie Blain: 2GP 0-1-1 0 2PIM 5 hits

The Q is currently lapping the field in terms of CHL websites. He also has two shots, none on goal.

Brandon Davidson: 3GP 0-0-0 0 7PIM

His point totals are down from last year, but there’s no Eberle in Regina either. He looks to be holding his own defensively without Colten Teubert.

Martin Marincin: 2GP 1-0-1 0 11PIM

We’re seeing both offensive acumen and feistiness from the big Slovak. Both are qualities I like in big defensemen.

Tyler Bunz: 1GP 0.84SV% 2.90GAA

It’s one game. I’m not looking too far into these poor stats until we get a reasonable sample size.

Olivier Roy: 0GP

Acadie-Bathurst played three games in September with no sniff of Roy. Cause for concern? I think so.

------------------

Those are the prospects who have had their seasons begin. In the months to come, I plan on updating these stats to compile season totals, while still providing monthly totals. My hope in doing this is to provide proof that a player’s stats may or may not be “sustainable” or just the product of a couple hot months.

I’ve also plans to compile these stats for some of the top upcoming draft prospects. If you have any input on whether I should attempt this, or have a specific prospect in mind for me to track please don’t hesitate to ask.
