Massive defender already at 15 (6’3”, 190lbs) - Verhoeff is a man amongst boys on the ice. Verhoeff is a very good two way defender already at his age. He is a kid that has good instincts that has surprising good puck skills and uses his size very well positioning himself well to win loose puck battles. There is always the chance that he is a kid that may be dominating because he is more physically developed than his peers at this stage, but nonetheless he is a guy to watch moving forward.

Interesting that PuckPreps has Verhoeff ranked #1 for the 2023 WHL Draft early on this season.

I think that’s a little optimistic - I love the player and he would be my #1 ranked defender for the WHL draft but #1 overall is real optimistic from the guys at PuckPreps.

this kid is 15!!? Yeah, definitely a kid that hit physical maturity earlier than his peers.

He's very raw. He's very tall, can skate well, plays good defense, but his puck game is hit or miss. He can make clean plays, but he also makes too many that he needs to improve on.

He scored the GWG later in the 3rd period as well.
was in OT on a nice net drive feed from Reschny. He looked really good all game moving the puck and playing well in his zone. With Misskey+Kipkie gone to NHL camp he was the #1 dman tonight and didn't look out of place. Hopefully still gets good minutes when they come back.

Thanks, I read the boxscore wrong I guess.

Good outing and hopefully part of a good core for Victoria going forward.
