KYLE
STECKLEY
Dave Barr assessment… “Physical winger, good size possessing a hard shot. Works the corners very well and is very tough in front of the net.”
Position: Right Wing
Born: 2/21/1990
Team: Niagara Falls
Home: Ridgeway, ON
Ht: 6.01

HPO (Mid-Term) Ranking:
n/r
Central Scouting Assessment:
Kyle is certainly a physical presence on the ice, delivering some big hits and tying up his man in both ends of the ice. He occasionaly makes some very impressive rushes and can score some timely goals. However, consistency is still a goal he needs to achieve.
