Talent Analysis

Sullivan is a strong skater with good balance, and excellent physical conditioning. His biggest challenge will be to overcome what some scouts consider to be questionable hockey instincts, and learning to read the play, especially at faster pace.

 

Future

Sullivan has left the Boston College program to play for the Green Bay Gamblers of the USHL.
