James Hagens's Player Profile

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - March 26th: "Hagens is always in motion. He’s exceptionally difficult to check and contain. On the power play he floats around the offensive zone in an attempt to find open ice and get pucks to the net."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - March 25th: "Hagens’ game is about skating and playmaking. He’s extremely breezy as a skater, making his patterns look easy out there. To use a hockey cliché, he’s on top of the ice, he’s agile and his stride and edges are dynamic, light, mobile and adjustable, with legitimate speed and quick acceleration through his crossovers and cuts (he often beats guys on angles and loses them on cutbacks)."

Smaht Scouting - March 23rd: "Hagens’ game is centered around his skating and playmaking abilities. He boasts ridiculous top speed and the puck seemingly just sticks to his blade as he carves through the neutral zone and into the offensive zone."

Kareem Elshafey - FC Hockey - March 9th: "Hagens is no longer the top-ranked prospect at FCHockey but he’s still very much a premier prospect. Despite not producing to the level some expected, with 33 points (nine goals, 24 assists) in 33 games, Hagens remains the best playmaker in the class and had a good showing for Team USA in their gold-medal run at the World Juniors."

Tony Ferrari - The Hockey News - February 28th: "His understanding of how to manipulate defenders into making mistakes to open up passing lines is incredible at times. The slick passing and speed Hagens plays with should make any team happy on draft day."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - February 26th: "Continues to produce point per game numbers as a freshman at a premium position. Proving he doesn’t always have to play with Gabriel Perreault and Ryan Leonard to be successful."

Adam Kimelman - NHL.com - February 21st: "What he lacks in size he makes up for in dynamic skill and skating. He's consistently played and succeeded against older competition."

Mike Morreale - NHL.com - February 21st: "He's a team-first player, has great competitiveness and has exhibited a commitment to also excel in his own end of the ice as a freshman at Boston College."
