Oscar Hemming's Player Profile

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - April 14th: "At his best, the 6-foot-4 forward is an absolute menace who can beat you with size, speed and skill. The raw potential is there, but he was forced to play some heavy catch-up to make up for lost time. I think a full year of college will do him wonders, and I still see some top-six potential."

Will Scouch - Scouching.ca - April 13th: "Hemming is physical, anticipatory off the puck, a dependable if a bit simplistic offensive transition weapon, and his shot is a nice stamp on top of it all. The big ticket area I’d be developing is his touch on the puck and the skill level he brings. He could be a bit too clunky on receptions and carries through the neutral zone, losing control too often and leading to unnecessary turnovers."

Dauton Reimer - The Hockey Writers - March 25th: "He cycles the zone well and knows where to put himself to create scoring chances. He also uses his big 6-foot-4 frame well, punishing opponents who decide to also chase the puck into the corner, face him against the boards, or just happen to be in his way."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - March 17th: "He's a big, strong player who stays around the puck, goes to the net and has some clear pro attributes. He’s got a pro release and strong skating that really builds into a head of steam and can make him a lot to handle when he drives down ice or to the net."

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - March 17th: "For his stature, he’s a solid skater on straight lines and he’s generally responsible off the puck in all three zones. His upside as a potential power forward who isn’t shy about battling physically is attractive."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - March 13th: "Hemming didn’t have a team for the first half of the year, and then came out flying with Boston College. But he has slowed down a bit as Boston College has struggled in recent weeks. At his best, the 6-foot-4 forward is an absolute menace who can beat you with size, speed and skill"

Peter Baracchini - The Hockey Writers - March 10th: "Hemming plays a heavy, but skilled game that revolves around his compete, physical play and skill. He’s quick and an agile skater for his size (6-foot-4, 198 pounds) that can power through anyone and is difficult to contain. He has great hands in the small spaces on the ice and attacks the dangerous areas with ease."

Smaht Scouting - February 27th: "Hemming is a strong skater with excellent east-west mobility for his size. His long stride extensions and clean edge work allow him to close quickly on loose pucks, pressure defenders in open ice, and recover into defensive positioning. He keeps pace with high-end skill and consistently arrives on time to disrupt plays, using an active stick and strong reach to thwart rush attempts and break up cross-ice passes."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - February 25th: "After a long layoff, Hemming has settled in nicely at Boston College, playing on a line with Bruins prospects James Hagens and Andre Gasseau. Hemming has put up two shots per game and has eight points in his 14 games played to this point. He exhibits power forward characteristics with how uses his frame to bump opponents and with his ability to drive the net."

Tony Ferrari - The Hockey News - February 23rd: "His combination of shooting talent, physicality and some really solid skating make him a truly effective player at the NCAA level. We've seen him step into the lineup and make his mark. Now, the discussion will be about whether he can sustain it or if his hot start was adrenaline-driven."
