Montana Tanner

 

Team: Yellowhead Chiefs Midget AAA

Position: Defense

Overall Player Rating: B+

Skating ability: Average

Shooting ability: Above average

Passing ability: Above average

Weakness: Needs to work on taking care of the puck in his own end.

Stats: In five games this season, Tanner has five goals (all coming on the power play), one assist and ten penalty minutes for the Chiefs.

Potential: Tanner has put on an offensive clinic thus far this season. He has a rocket for a shot, is an above average passer and logs a lot of ice time matched up with opposing team’s top lines. One drawback is Tanner’s tendency to sometimes cough up the puck, especially in his own end. With that said, the youngster looks like he will have an outstanding season.
