Talent Analysis
McKenzie shows his leadership on the ice and his coach validated that by making him captain part way through the 2008-2009 season with the Pentiction Vees. His skating could use a little work but what he lacks in top speed he makes up for in effort. His great work ethic makes him a threat at both ends of the ice and almost very dangerous when it comes to the penalty kill. Uses his size well to win battles in the corner. Some needed strength should come along as his 6'1 frame continues to fill out.
Future
Freshman at the University of Miami-Ohio for 2009-10.
