Jackson Smith's Player Profile
Corey Pronman - The Athletic - January 28th: "He's a 6-foot-3 defenseman who skates quite well. He’s funky-looking at times going 10-2 with his edges a bit too much, but he's a powerful, fluid skater who can easily get by checkers and skate pucks up ice. He has good offensive skills and playmaking ability from the point."Ryan Kennedy - The Hockey News - January 27th: "When you watch Smith, there's not much to complain about. He has a solid frame, he skates well, and he plays physically. The Ams blueliner has put up admirable offensive numbers this year, too."
Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - January 22nd: "Is rounding into form by continuing to develop his physical game. Keeps good gaps and projects to provide at least secondary offence at the next level."
Hannah Stuart - Bleacher Report - January 20th: "Smith is difficult to beat one-on-one and enjoys getting in opponents' faces. Combine that with his skill and he's a pain in the behind to play against. He's a high-end skater, very agile, and great in transition. He's also been improving his ability to use his skating and the physical aspect of his play in his own end."
Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - January 16th: "He’s physical, he skates so well, and he’s as mobile as it gets for a 6-foot-3 defenseman. I also think his hockey sense is great, and it’s only a matter of time until he finds a way to explode offensively."
Tony Ferrari - The Hockey News - Dec. 17th: "A big defender who moves at a high level, Smith’s game has evolved into becoming a more two-way defenseman. He’s using his skating and skill offensively and in transition as he has always done, but he’s learning to leverage his physicality and mobility in the defensive end more effectively."
Smaht Scouting - Dec. 10th: "A fast, mobile defenceman with size, Jackson Smith is a strong defender who can make clean breakouts and jump up into the offence to provide a real threat. His defensive stick ability is noticeable as he breaks up plays and allows his team to break out the other way quickly."
Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - Dec. 3rd: "He's a big, strong, reliable defender who's deployed in all situations and matches up against top six opponents. Smith is a solid skater who closes the gap and is always willing to play with some edge and bite."
