Michael Sabatini

Team: Honeybaked Bantam Major AAA

Position: Forward

Birthdate: 1995

Overall Player Rating: B+

Skating ability: Above average

Shooting ability: Above average

Passing ability: Average

Weakness: Disappears at times

Intangibles: Dangerous forward who can bury the puck,

Stats: In 31 games, Sabatini had 16 goals (three on the power play), 18 assists and 50 penalty minutes for Honeybaked.

Career potential: Sabatini has what all the scouts want in a prospect. He skates very well, makes accurate passes and has a rocket for a shot. One scout I talked to said his only setback is his effort at times. The Gross Pointe native has a year to iron out any problems he has in his game and if he does, he will be playing at the Junior level down the road. Look for Sabatini to increase his offensive production this fall at the Midget level.
