Profile Contributed By: Matt MacInnis
History
2006-07: Having committed to Alaska-Fairbanks for 08-09, Benn spent the season playing for the BCHL’s Victoria Grizzlies. Benn scored 42 goals and 23 assists in 53 games. Nearly half of his goals (19) came on the powerplay.
Talent Analysis
Benn is a pure sniper with both good shooting abilities and dekes in close. He showed consistent and rapid improvement over the course of the 2006-07 season. He has an uncanny knack for finding loose pucks, finding the space to make himself available for a pass and being in the right spot to bury rebounds. His skating is average at best. At 6’2, 185 lbs he doesn’t use his size particularly well and he’s not an overly physical force. He is extremely effective when he has the time to set up and shoot or on odd-man rushes. His defensive play is limited and will need improvement.
