Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
2008-09: Hanowski completed his senior of high school in Little Falls, Minnesota with 73 goals and 62 assists in only 31 games. On top of becoming the highest scoring player in Minnesota high school history, Hanowski was also nominated for the prestigious Minnesota Mr. Hockey award.
Talent Analysis
Ben Hanowski is an offensively-minded, goal-scoring forward who brings a mix of size, skill, and character to the rink. The Minnesota native also possesses uncanny vision and does his best work when the puck is on his stick. A shooter by trade, Hanowski has also shown solid puck-distribution abilities. For as electrifying of a player as Hanowski has been so far in his young career, his skating ability is limited, particularly without the puck. Also, because he has played in a weaker division of high school hockey, his actual offensive abilities are relatively unknown. Regardless, he has shown a diverse shot repertoire and deadly accurate wrist shot.
Future
Freshman at St. Cloud State in 2009-10.
