Thomas Vandenberg's Player Profile

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - April 14th: "He’s not a god skater and he struggles physically, but he makes up for it with quick, heads-up breakout passes and stout defensive play. I love how many individual stick battles he tends to win. Fortunately, skating is one of the easiest fundamentals to fix, and if he can add a bit more speed, he could reasonably become a decent fourth-liner in the NHL."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - March 17th: "He's one of the youngest players in the draft, too, born just a week from eligibility for 2027. And while he's average-sized, the details and habits are already there, he puts himself in good spots and he excels in the faceoff circle. He has played tough matchups and performed in all situations on a consistent game-to-game basis."

Smaht Scouting - February 27th: "Thomas Vandenberg is an undersized center with not the greatest physical tools to his disposal. The skating is subpar and his shot doesn’t stand out, but he makes it work as a tactician, working give-and-gos with his linemates to create space and offensive opportunities."
