Matthew Schaefer's Player Profile

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - July 3rd: "Drafted first overall by the Erie Otters last spring, the 6-foot-1 defender is an incredible skater and is always actively engaged at both ends of the ice. Offensively, Schaefer has real potential, but he’s also positionally sound and aggressive in his own zone."

Chris Peters - Flo Hockey - June 29th: "Schaefer has been through a lot of adversity the last year following the loss of both his mother and the mother of the family he billeted with in junior. He didn’t put up big points last year, but he has a tremendous amount of upside based on what we saw at U18s and where his game can go."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - March 18th: "He’s a heady two-way defenseman who skates well over balanced and light edges, managing play in front of him. He’s got a good stick and an ability to close out on carriers, be disruptive and then advance and steer play down the ice. There are some parallels to Brock Faber."
