Kashawn Aitcheson's Player Profile

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - March 26th: "Opponents can’t sleep on him when tracking through the neutral zone with the puck on their stick. Aitcheson gaps up with authority and finishes his checks. He’s also willing to drop the mitts on occasion."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - March 25th: "He’s a powerful, bullish defender who is hard to play against, defends firmly and commands his ice. He knows who he is and plays with confidence and aggression, often directing his teammates and always talking (to his teammates and opponents). He’s strong on the PK."

Craig Button - TSN - March 25th: "Then you have Kashawn Aitcheson. When I talk about Porter Martone, I feel the same way about Kashawn. He’s a guy you want on your team. He’s hard, heavy, physical, competitive, great skater."

Smaht Scouting - March 23rd: "He thrives on physical engagement and brings a competitive edge to every shift, using his size and strength to close gaps, disrupt plays along the boards, and tie up attackers at net front. Aitcheson defends with purpose and isn’t shy about stepping into opponents in open ice or leaning on them below the goal line."

Blake McGuire - FC Hockey - March 9th: "Defensively, Aitcheson is a standout due to his physicality and solid technical skills. He uses his size effectively to outmuscle opponents, win puck battles, and protect his team’s zone. Additionally, his defensive toolkit is impressive — he combines strong stick-checking with shot-blocking abilities, creating a well-rounded, reliable defensive presence."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - February 26th: "An infectious player with a boatload of personality who can play a rough and tumble game with some offensive upside."

Adam Kimelman - NHL.com - February 21st: "Aitcheson (6-2, 196) brings an entertaining mix of offensive skill and brute strength that makes him a nightmare to play against, similar to Ducks defenseman Jacob Trouba."

Mike Morreale - NHL.com - February 21st: "He's fierce defensively, gets in the face of his opponents and likes to be physically engaged."
