William Whiteclaw's Player Profile

Tony Ferrari - The Hockey News - June 5th: "Whitelaw is an undersized skilled winger who plays a water-bug game and does everything he can to put opposing players on their heels. Whitelaw is excellent at corralling the long flip pass through the neutral zone, tracking the puck over his shoulder and creating separation like an NFL wide receiver."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - June 5th: "He’s a competitive guy too who fights his way from battle to battle and one skill play to the next. He can make plays in transition or make something happen out of nothing inside the offensive zone through a combination of will and skill."

Chris Peters - Flo Hockey - June 1st: "He put up big points in the USHL, was even better in the playoffs and added more bite to his game. Still, he does not have a big frame and at points can play too individualistic to have success at the professional level which is why there’s a fair amount of risk tied to him."

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - May 30th: "Whitelaw's game is full of pace due to his powerful skating stride. He'll be able to carry through the neutral zone at higher levels and create controlled entries with his speed and skill. "

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - May 29th: "Whitelaw hasn’t let his small frame stop him from putting a beating on goalies across the United States. His 5-foot-9 frame will be the thing that tears him down the most, but the skill is apparent."
