Hunter Jones quickly made a name for himself in the league and ended up getting drafted 6th overall to the Kelowna Knights in what was a deep draft. #39 for the Kelowna Knights is a 6'2", 200 lb Right Winger with gifted offensive abilities and work ethic.
Three Quotes from the Scouts
1. Hunter has absurd 63 strength for a rookie, close to the highest of any drafted player. His strength will allow him to easily enter his rookie campaign and keep up along the boards and in the corners. Defense will have a hard time stopping this guy when he gets accustomed to the league.
2. Being 6'2", 200 lbs and strong as a bull, you would think he would toss his weight around more in the league. The guy is a offensive winger so only has 40 checking and is considered his only weakness. Blessed with size and strength, he could be feared, but he tends to shy away from body contact. If he can combine his skill with his checking ability he could be a superstar.
3. His endurance 62 and skating 63 could be a bit better, but his defense 62 is right where it should be for a rookie winger. Defense can often be ignored by rookies, but Hunter has worked on it so that he contribute a 200ft game for the Knights. Defense will allow his team to win more games while he is still putting the puck in the net.
