Jack Eichel’s skills will make him a regular competitor on the international stage. It’s his personality that can help him become a marquee player for the United States.
“He’s got good charisma,” said Jim Johansson, assistant executive director of USA Hockey. “He really enjoys the pureness of the game and exudes that to all the people that are around.”
Johansson got a close look at Eichel’s people skills last year.
