Kyle Cumiskey

Prospect Grade: 7.0 B  (About Prospect Grades)

History

After getting minimal minutes with Kelowna in his rookie year during the 2003-04 championship season, Kyle Cumiskey really stepped up this past season into an expanded role for the Rockets. Cumiskey helped anchor a blueline that also boasted the likes of Shea Weber and Mike Card, both of whom helped lead Kelowna to back-to-back WHL Championships and Memorial Cup Finals appearances. Although fate wasn't on their side this year, Cumiskey shined for the Rockets.

Cumiskey is a tad on the short side, at 5'11. He is a very poised and gifted offensive defenseman, as indicated by his 40 points while playing in all 72 Rockets games this season. He is extremely versatile and can be used in all situations. He is a balanced skater with decent acceleration and overall speed. He has good hands and on-ice vision, which ultimately gives him the upper hand on the rush.
