Eriks Mateiko's Player Profile

Chris Peters - Flo Hockey - June 3rd: "A massive human, at 6-foot-5 and over 200 pounds, Mateiko was close to a point per game in the QMJHL this season. He has some solid offensive tools and plays a heavy game, which gives him a chance with his frame. Sub-par skating, however, could limit his NHL prospects."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - June 3: "He's got good skill and soft hands for a 6-foot-5 kid (his listing was recently updated by an inch), and while his stride can still look a little choppy out of the blocks, he can actually really move out there (I think he surprised some people with a pretty strong showing at the CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game's on-ice testing) and it quickly went from being awkward to arguably above average (every time I see him play his skating seems to fall in line a little better than the last time, which is what matters at his size)."

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - May 28th: "The issue with Mateiko will be his skating. He has a heavy stride that lacks footspeed for the higher levels. I think there's enough to his game to be a potential bottom-six wing despite the skating concerns, though."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - May 28th: "I’m a big fan of the big man. The 6-foot-5, 209-pound winger just commands space and he doesn’t give you much to work, either. Offensively, he had a decent year, but he has a great shot and works hard in his own zone."
