Plays for the Brooks Bandits past few years, rare for players from Canada let alone Calgary to play there and he was the only '06 there last year IIRC. The hockey guys know what he is. He's starting to heat up. Point a game in AJ and is 2-3 PPG the last bunch of games after the move.
He is pure skill, he's always looked like Johnny Gaudreau. Calgarypuck fans wet draft dream type pick. The Mathias Tedenby. Listed at 5'9"...but his dad is absolutely a unit, he is definitely growing more.
Had a 5 point game today.

Free is on the SC watch list, skill and vision out the yin yang but needs to learn to make people miss to avoid being ragdolled, it's like he forgets he's a small guy until he's on his ass
Like Gaudreau if he was 2 inches taller and 10lbs heavier he would be a top 10 pick.
He's heading to Penn state next year and should get a good opportunity on a rebuilding team under the tutelage of a really good coach in Guy Gadowsky.
