LD Dennis Gilbert - Chicago Steel, USHL (2015, 91st, CHI)

[Woodhouse]

Dennis Gilbert, LHD headed to Notre Dame in 2015-16 .. ranked #58 by NACS, #60 by McKeen's, and #93 by FC .. here's an All Access interview from December and a blurb from his WNYHP profile to get the thread started.

“He plays a two-way game but definitely has offense on his mind. He handles the puck really well and is a very good skater, especially for a guy his size. His confidence has grown all-season long as far as carrying the puck, jumping into the play offensively, his pinches at the blue line, etc. He is an exciting player to watch with the puck on his stick. What stands out most about his play is his skating ability, especially for a bigger body playing defense. I like his footwork and his overall speed is very good. He is a strong guy and it shows in his stride and the power he generates. Very strong skater. Just overall, his physical tools are NHL caliber. He’s got them all.”
