Beau Akey's Player Profile

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - June 5th: "A top player on a top team in the OHL this year, Akey is a beautiful, flowing skater with plus-level mobility in all four directions. He can transition pucks up ice, join in transition, walk the line, and fall back onto his heels and edges whenever he needs to."

Chris Peters - Flo Hockey - June 1st: "Defensively, he still needs work, but the skating tool is such that a team would be very excited to get the chance to work with him and help him round out his game."

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - May 30th: "Akey is a strong skater who is dangerous in transition. Inside the zone, he can make tough plays with the puck while also having a hard point shot that can beat goaltenders clean. I wouldn't call his pure puck-moving as dangerous as his transporting, though."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - May 29th: "While most eyes have been on Brandt Clarke in Barrie this year, it’s hard to ignore Akey jumping up 30 points this year. He does an excellent job of rushing the puck down the ice from his own zone and he panic-passes the puck far less these days."

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - May 5th: "Excellent skater. Quick, fast and agile. Leans transitional 'D'. Ability to lead the rush or distribute and join as an extra layer. Room for improvement defensively, though. Attention to detail and stopping on pucks."
