Ben Kindel's Player Profile

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - January 28th: "He's small but checks every other box you want. He's a very good skater with the first few steps and top speed to play at the higher levels. He's a skilled, creative offensive player who sees the ice well and has scored in large numbers in junior."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - January 22nd: "Extremely intelligent player who rarely takes a shift off. There’s a little Brayden Point in Kindel. He thinks the game at an elite level and, at the same point in their careers, their skating looks a little awkward."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - January 16th: "Kindel is a dual-threat offensive player. He’s equally good as a shooter and a playmaker and is the driving force of Calgary’s attack. Kindel does a great job of finding open space and exploiting it and he has a shot he can unleash from just about anywhere."

Tony Ferrari - The Hockey News - Dec. 17th: "Kindel has some of the most interesting passing ability in the draft, and his defensive game is positionally strong. He lacks physical strength, which affects his ability along the boards at times, specifically in the defensive zone, but there is a lot to like about his game on the rush and in the offensive zone."

Smaht Scouting - Dec. 10th: "Kindel is a smart, versatile forward who is always in the right position and a constant factor in all three zones and all situations. He has an impressive small area game, as he likes to hang onto pucks and draw pressure before finding teammates with precision through tight lines."

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - Dec. 3rd: "He’s an infectious player who doesn’t cut corners. Kindel works the entire 200 feet of the ice. There are some nights when he looks like he might be running on fumes, but he gives all he has. In time he will add more strength and endurance."
