Cole McKinney's Player Profile

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - June 10th: "McKinney has solid speed, hands and vision, and a decent shot from range. He doesn't project as a major scorer at the top level, but he could chip in offense. He projects as a bottom-six forward/fourth-line center."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - June 2nd: "He’s got above-average skating, tools and work ethic, with an eager and involved approach and an ability to make plays when they're there and execute. His skill level isn’t flashy but he sees and reads the game well and has some secondary skill."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - May 27th: "McKinney was one of the USNTDP’s top forwards all year long, and he was also one of the most aggressive. McKinney is a mid-sized, two-way center who can play on the penalty kill, block shots and win a ton of faceoffs."

Tony Ferrari - The Hockey News - May 12th: "McKinney is a rock-solid, do-it-all center who plays hard and fast. McKinney won’t wow anyone with his skill or offensive prowess, but he always seems to find a way to end his shifts with something positive happening. He uses his speed to be a stout defender, rarely giving a poor effort."

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - March 26th: "Opportunistic and streaky offensive winger. (40GP – 23G-34A)"

Smaht Scouting - March 23rd: "He has a strong shot, and when he has possession, he creates uncertainty, making it seem like he could generate something in any way possible. He has that ability to manipulate the defense to make the right pass or the shot. However, in situations without the puck, he loses that visibility and mostly tends to navigate around the ice."
