Scouts will pay attention to defensemen who are 6’4” and weigh 200-plus pounds. Playing for a top-tier team like the London Knights also attracts the notice of scouts.

The issue for Jared Woolley is that few teams can match the defensive depth of the Knights. After starting the season in the GOJHL, he got called up by London, but once there, his ice time was limited by their roster talent.

Leveraging his size and reach, Woolley adeptly takes away time and space from the opposition with poise and calmness. His large frame also allows him to add physicality. While not the fastest skater, Woolley has demonstrated the ability to move the puck out of his defensive zone.

Woolley has the potential to establish himself as a strong defensive player. However, his offensive capabilities remain uncertain. Although he has demonstrated offensive production at every level so far, he was not given optimal offensive opportunities with the Knights. Further developing his skating skills will be advantageous.
