Jett Luchanko of the Guelph Storm is an elite skater with excellent speed and agility. His quick first steps, top-end speed, and ability to separate give him an edge. Luchanko also possesses sharp edge work that allows him to change direction and maneuver in full flight. He can slow down or accelerate to create space for himself or teammates. While speed and skating skills are assets, hockey sense is crucial to utilize them fully. Fortunately, Luchanko has hockey intelligence to complement his skating talents.
Despite his smaller stature, Luchanko is unafraid to throw his weight around and finish checks. He battles fearlessly against larger opponents, never backing down from physical play. Though he will need to build his strength over time, his ability to shield the puck is already highly skilled. His eagerness to take the puck into traffic and drive hard to the net is admirable.
Luchanko possesses the skills to excel as a playmaker. However, he could benefit from occasionally taking shots himself rather than always looking to pass. Additionally, he must improve his awareness of when to drive forward versus pull up for the shot. Though not a poor shooter, adding strength would make his shot more consistent.
Luchanko’s defense is still a work in progress. Although he has made some improvements, as a center he must provide better support to his defensemen. He has a tendency to prematurely charge up ice on the attack rather than helping his team transition out of the defensive zone.
I’m not to worried about that. He’s too smart not to get it.
