Theo Magnusson is a 17 year old Swedish defenseman with exceptional skating abilities and a great mind for the game. He is an exciting puck mover who sees the ice well, and projects to be a star player one day.

Magnusson grew up playing hockey with his best friends Liam and Patrik. Liam didn’t end up pursuing a career in hockey, but Patrik currently plays for the Riga Reign in the VHL. Theo thought about taking the VHL route as well, but he figured his talents could be of more use in a newer league, the SHVL.

What Theo will bring to the team that selects him is a perfect puck-moving defenseman who can get the puck up the ice with ease. He is an all-situations defender, and is at his best with open ice, such as on a powerplay or 3 on 3. His best feature, his skating, is a treat to watch, and is sure to serve him well on the ice.

Teams should also consider Magnusson’s weak shot for an offensive-minded player, and his defensive game, which still needs a bit of rounding out.

Overall, expect to see Theo Magnusson become a prominent name in this league. He has a ton of talent and a good work ethic to accompany it.

Anrijs Asts is defender from small country in Baltic States - Latvia. He started to play hockey when he was small - at 8 years. His dad and big brother was his mentor and helped him a lot with getting better.

His strengths are being defensive defender. He is helping his team to be better and get victories. Winning is a priority for him. He is good at passing, shot blocking. He will be really helpful for his team in first season because he is one of few defensive defenders.

He is not thinking so much about offense because defense is a priority for him. He started playing hockey on capital city of Latvia Riga Team. He played there more than 6 seasons and now he is here - on SHVL.

He will need to prove that he is the best and he will. His working mentality is amazing and ability to earn TPE even better. I think that he have that power to prove that he is future hall of famer and hockey legend.

His idol is Marian Hossa and he loves to play hockey at any time of the day. He is big fan of NHL team Buffalo Sabres because of latvian brother Zemgus Girgensons.

István Novak is a 6’6” forward from Hungary, and surprisingly plays a lot different then a 6’6” forward usually would. In his minors club Patriot Budapest HC, he dominated the Hungarian junior league, leading the league in goals, SHG, and PPGs, using his dominate size and power to put up points. He still is able to utilize his elite size with sole force, but it isn’t where his style of play stands out. He has shown a fair development in speed and acceleration being able to make it up and down the ice pretty quick, but could have some issues going as fast as some of the top talent. His biggest weakness is he lacks a lot of playmaking ability, he can always put the puck in the back of the net, but all alone or without some help with some good forwards, he struggles to show offensive awareness and can often put the puck in bad situations and less time in possession.

Overall István Novak is a talented big forward who can possibly be a top goal scorer for years to come in the league, he intends to be the first Hungarian to make the highest level of hockey, and hopes many more follow after him.

Reilly Bourque is a 25 year old late blooming center that is ready to prove his skills are ready to take the next step. The SHVL is the perfect platform for Reilly to get in at the ground floor and become a veteran presence for whoever takes a chance on him.

His strengths are his overall balanced game. He prides his game on his ability to pressure on the offense and get back and defend well in his own zone. He provides a better than average physical tool box using his 6 foot 4 frame. Reilly can be the perfect player to build a team around and be the go to player in all situations of a 60 minute+ game.

His weaknesses are his deking abilities and slapshot. Bourque will always snap or wrist the puck on goal rather than winding up for a big clapper. He says he likes to leave that stuff up to the defenders at the point and be the guy to tip it and fool the goalie on a change of direction. He has decent hands but wont be a flashy player by any means. "Keep it simple stupid" is a motto he clearly lives and plays by. Smart plays equals output.

Sigard Gunnar is a ice hockey phenom from Iceland. Known for his style of waiting by the opponent's blue line, and waiting for a cherry pick pass, so he can skate up and snipe one on the goalie, with his insane shot. He hopes to grow hockey in Iceland, as that isn’t a focus in the country as they are mostly football (translate soccer). He’s a pure sniper and models his game after the Russian monster Pavel Bure.

He has a very good shot, as his wrister and backhand are probably the most deadly thing we’ve ever seen. He doesn’t have a good slap shot, but as a student of the game he knows they strengths and weaknesses that he needs to posses in this game. His weaknesses are his physical and defensive game, which he has said that he has been training constantly, and only hopes to fulfill a two-way game that no one has ever seen before. He also has bad skating skills for a winger.

Although he’s a very one-dimensional player obviously this is based off of his shot. He has only time to grow, and continue to branch out his game. He continues to grow his skill set from skating to strength. He’s a risk to take based off of these facts, but it’s a risk vs reward system.

It’s difficult to write about Kevin Cushing’s biggest strengths and weaknesses because there is very little about him that could be considered a strength, and arguably less that can be considered a weakness. Cushing comes from a defensive pedigree, his older brother Brian once a top earning linebacker in the NFL.

Kevin, as a defenseman, follows in that, but very differently. For one, he lacks the raw strength of many defenders, indicating a lack of physicality. Unsurprisingly, his body checking ability is almost non-existent, resulting in more passive defense rather than active disruption. Forwards won’t have to worry about him blindsiding them, and he brings a complete lack of intimidating presence, only furthered by his lack of fighting skill. Additionally, he is among the slower of the available defensemen.

Those are major weaknesses for a defenseman, but obviously there are strengths. His lower top-end speed is negated by his respectable acceleration and ability to maintain speed while turning. Forwards will greatly struggle to outmaneuver him for position. Coupled with adequate defensive awareness, it is highly unlikely he will ever be out of position. His balance and coordination serve him well on the transition as well, and his passing is quickly improving. What he lacks in disrupting forwards will be made up for on offense.
