Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
A Timbits hockey alumnus, Livingston was a 2006 first round OHL Priority Draft selection of the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. He has played for the Soo the last two seasons, getting more and more ice time, and increasing his offensive production, almost on a monthly basis. Livingston's best month thus far in his junior career was February 2008, when he scored 10 points (six goals, four assists) in 12 games. Never one to avoid a fight or sticking up for a teammate, Livingston had the highest number of PIM on the team this past season.
2007-08: In his second season with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds (OHL), the forward showed serious improvement over last season. In 68 games, he notched 21 goals and 23 assists for a total of 44 points. He also racked up an impressive 135 PIM, well over his total from his rookie campaign. An additional 14 postseason contests gave the winger a pair of goals and three more helpers.
Talent Analysis
A big winger, Livingston knows how to crash the opposition's net and is difficult to move when he is there. A good skater, he needs to work on his acceleration to be effective at the next level. An excellent forechecker, who knows how to finish his checks, Livingston has the potential to develop into a defensive forward at the pro level.
Future
Will remain with Sault Ste. Marie in 2009-10.
