Aaron Ness (D)
5-10, 165 lbs
DOB: 05-18-90

The following reports all come from the World Under-18 Championships in Kazan, Russia.

(Currently ranked #24 overall by Red Line for 2008 NHL Entry Draft)

Has a small frame and won’t get much bigger, but offsets that by using subtle little head/shoulder feints that throw off forecheckers. Excellent athleticism, quickness, and reactions. Has loose hips and opens up well at the point for 1-timers.

Puck movement skills are terrific. Makes very quick decisions before the puck even hits his blade – decisive 1-touch passes are crisp and accurate. Has excellent timing and instincts to move in off the point on the PP. Makes great decisions in puck distribution.

Made some dynamic solo rushes. Made beautiful look-off and pass to set up opening goal vs. Finland. Terrific skater with acceleration, but lack of bulk will always be an issue defensively as he’s easily overpowered down low.
