When analyzing Kieron Walton, it is important to move past the statistics, despite them being satisfactory. His performance can be deemed as acceptable, especially when taking into account the Sudbury Wolves’ roster depth and the challenging circumstances that sometimes-hindered Walton’s point output.

Walton’s height is the initial standout feature, as he is tall and already well-proportioned. Despite his size, he is a strong skater with impressive speed. His ability to strategize at a high level, paired with his speed and size, positions him as a dominant player in both the cycle game and on the rush.

Walton’s scoring abilities are well-established, but it is his playmaking skills that could truly shine. His proficiency in puck possession, combined with his size that makes him difficult to dispossess, high hockey IQ, and exceptional vision, may elevate his playmaking to his standout strength.

Walton’s size is bound to attract attention on its own. When you consider his skating ability, he becomes even more fascinating. You simply need to believe that you have witnessed enough potential in his limited role to anticipate much more in the future.
