Peter Cehlarik's Player Profile

Cehlarik had an interesting season from a developmental standpoint, and his status is trending upwards. Born in Slovakia, and brought up through their amateur program, he has played in Sweden the past two seasons. He played U20 hockey there before breaking into the top-level team, eventually receiving a regular shift. He is average sized, but still strong for a U18 player. He shows quality physical value in terms of his ability to protect the puck and win battles. Cehlarik is a skilled individual as well, and he can make above-average plays with the puck. He shows good vision as a playmaker, making quick decisions and processing the game well, especially considering his age and the SEL-level competition. His major issue is his skating, which is notably below average. He has a sluggish first few steps, and his top gear is not threatening.
