Joe Kinsella

Team: Chicago Fury Bantam Major AAA

Position: Defense

Birthdate: 1996

Overall Player Rating: B+

Skating ability: Above average

Shooting ability: Average

Passing ability: Above average

Weakness: Needs to get more involved offensively.  

Intangibles: Talented blue liner who good instinct.  

Stats: In 29 total games this season, Kinsella has one goal, eight assists and 24 penalty minutes for the Fury.  

Potential: Kinsella is more of a “stay at home” kind of defensemen. He does a great job against opposing team’s top forward lines and logs a lot of ice time. In addition, he’s a strong skater and is smart when he has the puck. While his has shown glimpses of offensive production, one scout told me he could be close to a “ten goal, 20 assist” blue liner. With that said, Kinsella should adjust well at the next level.
