ISS ranked Jakob Chychrun at #2 is a confident power house defensemen with impressive size and strength for his age. Rounding out the ISS Top 3 is London Knights Left Winger Max Jones, who is a highly skilled power forward with pro frame and shot.
"Matthews never slows down”, says ISS Hockey Director of Scouting Dennis MacInnis. “This kid is magic. His hockey sense and the way he can react on developing game situations is advanced. He has exceptional overall skills.”
