Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
Played for the Taft school during the 2005-06 season. Moved to the Sioux City Musketeers for the 2006-07 season. He was named to western team for the 2007 USHL Prospects/All-Star game. At the conclusion of the season, he was named to the USHL all-rookie team and captured rookie of year honors.
2007-08: In 37 games with the University of Michigan (CCHA), Pacioretty recorded 39 points (15+24) and 59 PIM. He represented Team USA in six games in the World Juniors tournament. He was named CCHA Rookie of the Year and named to the CCHA All-Rookie Team.
Talent Analysis
He is a good power forward with an above averages skill set. He's a good skater with quick feet. He handles the puck very well, has a good shot and has a quick release. Has the size and tenacity to be a force on the ice, just needs to learn when and where to apply it with consistency.
Future
Pacioretty was a late cut from the club's 2008-09 training camp and his talent has blossomed to the point where the Canadiens felt he could not develop further in the collegiate ranks, precipitating an early signing to a pro contract. The young forward should be one of the club's first call-ups to the NHL ranks, and could very quickly find himself on the Canadiens' roster.
