Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
In his second full season with the Spokane Chiefs, center Adam Hobson made considerable strides towards developing his offensive game, earning more ice time in the process. After recording just nine points in 63 games last season, Hobson skated in all 72 contests this year, recording a career-high 37 points.
Many feel that 2005-06 is Hobson’s year to shine. Barely scratching the tape at 6', he is a good skater with decent speed. He has good hands and can be very tenacious, which makes him a very effective two-way centerman. He is a team first player who is extremely coachable. He has a great overall work ethic and is a superb role model on and off the ice. He has a decent shot but is a monster on loose pucks. He doesn’t try to overdo it and is very competent at both ends of the ice.
Talent Analysis
Scout #1: He’s a very good two-way player; he has a good sense for the game and he’s a very good faceoff guy. He’s going to battle to play in the NHL but I’m not sure that he will play in the NHL.
ISS (June): Opening some eyes with his combination of size, skills and skating, Hobson quickly earned his way into increased ice time and a key role. He has good speed, soft hands and tenacity. He might be limited to a third-line or checking-line center role in the NHL but he’s a team-first guy with a great work ethic.
