Statistics

What Scouts See

He’s a confident puck carrier who attacks openings with speed, but can also slow it down and patiently weigh his options. Always moving his feet, McAvoy is capable of slipping through gaps without the puck, or stickhandling around traffic while keeping the puck close to his body.

McAvoy’s strong skating allows him to defend against the rush and to take away the middle and force forwards to the outside.
