I watched him play last season in Spokane as Tri-Cities and the Chiefs are rivals. I focused on him and Dragicevic as they were clearly the best two players for the Americans.
Bell has good size and I was impressed with his skating as someone who still has a long way to fill out his frame. I was pleasantly surprised with the clear amount of skill (stick handling, board work, reading and anticipating the play) and a nice wrister that he wasn’t afraid to use from a variety of spots in the offensive zone.
It will be interesting to see if he goes pro or goes back to the dub as a 20 year old. I could see him spending the year between the Wranglers and Rapid City to get playing time or going back to the WHL and dominating. If he goes back to Tir-City I could see him getting dealt to a team with Memorial cup aspirations.
