History
Spent the last two years with the Gunnery school in Connecticut where he earned where he has earned Most Valuable Player and Rookie of the Year honors.
2007-08: Joined BCHL’s Penticton where he finished second on the team with 67 points in 60 games. A team that included 2008 draftees Brett Hextall and Zac Delpe finishing first and third, respectively, in points. Smith’s 11+11=22 led the team in playoff scoring and got him named the playoff MVP as Penticton went on to win the Fred Page Cup. He notched three points in five Doyle Cup games, as they fell to Camrose.
Talent Analysis
Quick on his skates, this playmaker shows offensive potential with a high-energy style. Shows good hockey sense and is a quality forechecker. He is a bit undersized and will likely need to use all of his college eligibility before thinking about turning pro.
Future
Will attend Colgate University this fall.
Potential: Second/third line offensive forward.
