Determined & tenacious off puck… heavy hitter & battle around the net. Big presence.

Quotable

  • Craig Button, TSN Director of Scouting at TSN.ca:

“Adrian is an excellent skater with speed and he uses it to get to openings and to back off defenders. He’s a player who understands how to use that skating to maximum benefit and to create chances.”

From the THW War Room

  • Eldon MacDonald, THW:  A few words on Adrian Kempe:
    • The bull –   Adrian is not your typical Swedish dangler; he is more like a bull in a china shop that heads directly to the net and is not afraid  to run over anyone in his way.
    • Size and speed – At 6’2, 187 lb., Adrian possesses the size and speed that  today’s NHL teams are looking for.
    • Other skills – Adept playmaker, good stickhandler, heavy shot, elite wrister, tenacious forechecker, decent defensively.
    • Draft placement – With all the small players in this year’s draft, Adrian is likely to go sonner rather than later – the teens most likely.
