HF's January 2009 Q&A with Beck.
Talent Analysis
Beck made a huge jump in his progression this season and showed scouts that he's a viable long-term power-forward type of prospect. He has good size and has shown an increasing willingness to drive to the net and camp in the tougher areas of the ice. Beck showed that his scoring and playmaking abilities were increasing, although he still has a long way to go in terms of his stride and skating ability.
Future
Will continue with Guelph in 2009-10.
