It’s well documented since being drafted by the Oshawa Generals; Beckett Sennecke has undergone a substantial growth spurt. Originally listed at 5’10” for his OHL draft, he now stands at 6’3″ – a remarkable increase in height for a hockey player over just a couple years. And he appears to have put in the work to maintain and improve his level of play.

Sennecke’s skating technique and overall mobility on the ice have steadily improved year over year. He exhibits strong edgework and east-to-west movement. Adding muscle mass, particularly to his legs, could further enhance his first step quickness and speed. That added strength could benefit him in other areas as well.

Despite his 6’3″ frame, Sennecke can be knocked off the puck rather easily. While he is one of the hardest workers most nights, battling for pucks, he needs to win more of those physical battles. Building strength would benefit Sennecke by making him harder to knock off the puck during battles along the boards.

One of his strengths is his shooting ability. He possesses a heavy one-timer and wrist shot with decent release. As he builds strength, his shot will further improve. However, he struggles with accuracy at times, which requires refinement as he develops. Nonetheless, his solid shooting fundamentals provide a strong foundation.

Sennecke is more than just a goal scorer. He has the ability to slow the game down, lure in defenders, and then find open teammates after creating space. While his vision is slightly above average, it’s an innate skill that’s difficult to improve through training.

Though his defensive game remains a work in progress, he shows great promise on that end of the ice. In the neutral zone, he uses his size and reach to disrupt play as effectively as anyone. The main area for improvement is his defensive zone positioning and decision-making on when to challenge the puck carrier.
