Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
2007-08: He finished his first season in North America leading all QMJHL rookies with 32 goals, and he finished second to Deschamps in points with 66. He also made another appearance for Team Belarus in the World Juniors, picking up three goals in five tournament matches. Thumbing their nose at Central Scouting, who had dubbed Deschamps the top prospect, the QMJHL named Stefanovich the recipient of the Mike Bossy Award, given to whom the league deemed to be the best professional prospect for the upcoming draft.
Talent Analysis
On paper, Stefanovich looks to have all the tools that teams look for: a blend of scoring ability and size. Stefanovich’s sharpshooting abilities and offensive instincts are top notch, but his effort is inconsistent at best. Though he is willing to drive to the net, Stefanovich is a player who mainly fights through contact but doesn’t initiate physical play. His skating needs work, especially his acceleration, but his hockey sense and his ability to read to play softens the blow of this weakness.
