Talent Analysis
An offensive dynamo. Came out of nowhere this season to be the go to guy for the Okotoks Oilers. Knight skates extremely well and has the ability to handle the puck in traffic at high speeds. He also has a quick release and is able to get a shot off while in tight quarters. Showed great patience with the puck this year. He uses his size well to protect the puck but not so much for the physical aspect of the game.
Future
Freshman at North Dakota in 2009.
