Often times, young hockey players derive their game from NHLers they look up to or capture inspiration from. In terms of scouting, it’s not eccentric to compare a young prospect’s game to that of a mature NHL player, to create a visual complement for the reader or listener.

However, a prospect’s play can sometimes be unique and difficult to compare to that of a well-known player. Such is the case with Michael St. Croix.

The Winnipeg native has had great success from an early age - dominating the Manitoba midget AAA League in scoring and having played in the Under-17 Hockey Challenge at age 15 - it’s as if the passion for hockey is in his blood, which may be true.
