Akezhan Melis - '03 Forward - Boston Jr Rangers
Commit : Albertus Magnus
Melis had 2 multi-goal games over 4 Frozen Final games, finishing with 4G 4A.. Plays at a high pace, with the confidence on the puck to make something happen out of nothing. His release is so quick, catching and releasing immediately. Sees the ice / feels the game so well, a perfect powerplay assist with a perfect backdoor pass in game 1 vs the Avs. Had 2G 1A in game 3, scoring mid-battle, swatting at a puck in the mid slot while falling. Would add another getting to back door off a face-off play competing for space.
