Profile Contributed By: Matt MacInnis
History
2005-06: Played 60 games for Salmon Arm scoring 49 points (18 goals, 31 assists).
2006-07: Scored 27 goals and 30 assists in limited action (39 games) due to injury. He started off well but was unable to play much of middle section of the season after getting hurt during the CJAHL Prospects Game in December.
Talent Analysis
He’s a speedy, talented winger with a good, hard, shot. He can play with a bit of an edge at times, but this can be inconsistent. He beats opponents on the rush using his skating.
He needs to put on a significant amount of muscle at this stage in his career. His feistiness could result in injuries later in his career if he’s unable to get bigger. Defensively he needs a lot of work, but this is not uncommon for a prospect his age.
Future
Winnett is a project pick and will likely need at least three years in college before he’s ready for the professional ranks. He has the potential to be a second line scoring winger.
Winnett is bound for the University of Michigan in 2007-08.
