Kieffer Bellows's Player Profile

Ryan Kennedy of The Hockey News - April 19, 2016 - "Bellows may not be the most complete player in the draft, but his goal-scoring acumen is top-tier. He has already struck three times in three games at the under-18s, with five points total. Bellows is a Boston University commit."

The Draft Analyst - March , 2016 - "Bellows is a well-built goal scorer with a low center of gravity who can play a punishing, heavy yet cerebral game. He’s a good skater with tremendous balance and moves well laterally. And while he used play center for Edina’s powerhouse high school program, Bellows is most certainly better suited as a shooter from the flank. He’s built like a Mack truck and plays with fire, using tremendous athleticism and work ethic to maintain his compete level, even during extended shifts. He’s extremely difficult to move off the puck, and he’s proven to be a load to handle for some of the NCAA’s bigger defensemen. Bellows is a hard, accurate passer, but can also feather a pass off the rush or lead his teammates with timing and precision."

Ryan Kennedy of The Hockey News - February 16, 2016 - "Tied as the leading scorer at the Five Nations in Finland with five points in four games, Bellows is a Boston University commit with strength and a wicked goal-scoring touch. Consistency is one area scouts would like to see improvement from him."

Damien Cox of Sportsnet - January 13, 2016 - "Another Team USA cut cut for Helsinki. The pure sniper has 26 goals in 33 games."

Curtis Joe of Elite Prospects - 2016 - "Kieffer Bellows is a skilled power forward that can dominate games. Possesses high end puckhandling ability as well as a crisp, accurate release on his shot. Proficient forechecker and loves to win puck battles, which stands out as a consistent part of his game. Strong skater that can bull through the opposition or go around them. Drives the net hard and is a decisive finisher. All-in-all, a competitor that punishes the opposition physically, as well as on the scoreboard."

Future Considerations - November 2015 - "The son of former NHL goal scorer Brian Bellows, the apple did not fall far from the tree in this case. Kieffer has a natural scorers instinct and desire to hit the twine. He has some solid strength and uses it to get to prime scoring areas with and without the puck. Has a real hard shot that he can absolutely wire on net. Can go unnoticed for a few shifts but usually makes an impact in each contest, so consistency will need to improve. This Boston University commit will be high on NHL teams radar come next June."
