Ethan Procyszyn is an intriguing prospect, known as a reliable two-way center. However, his defensive play is already very polished. He has a strong work ethic and competitive drive, with exceptional puck protection abilities.

With his large frame, Procyszyn can deliver big hits but avoids compromising his positioning to throw them. He typically wins physical battles in the gritty areas of the ice and leverages his size to drive the net with or without the puck. Upon arriving at the crease, he has the soft hands to finish plays in tight quarters.

Though not the fastest skater, he uses his size and reach effectively in the defensive zone to break up plays and transition the puck up ice. As a center, he displays a strong understanding of positioning and plays the role well. His ability to lead the breakout makes him an excellent two-way player.

Procyszyn shows promise as a bottom-six forward at the professional level. He brings energy, physicality, and defensive responsibility to the ice, with some secondary scoring ability. These qualities make him an attractive depth player that NHL teams will likely consider in the draft.
