Prospect Grade: 0.0 (About Prospect Grades)
History
2007-08: Wingels completed a stellar freshman season at Miami University, where he finished second on the team in rookie scoring with 29 points (14 goals, 15 assists). Having played at both center and wing, and in all situations this season, Wingels added more depth to one of the nation’s deepest and most balanced teams.
Wingels had one of his most memorable outings of the season back on Oct. 19/20 versus Ohio State. In that series, he tallied four points to help the RedHawks sweep the Buckeyes. The performance also earned him his lone CCHA Rookie of the Week honor.
Talent Analysis
Wingels is an outstanding two-way forward that won’t shy away from playing the body. One of his best attributes is his hands. He is a competent playmaker and distributes the puck really well. He is very poised and patient with the puck. Wingels moves with the puck quite well and his decision-making with it is also very good.
As good as Wingels is offensively, he is equally good defensively. His defensive zone play is excellent. He does a great job of containing opposing players and taking away passing/shooting lanes. He also sees the ice really well.
Wingels transitions well, skates with very smooth strides and has good speed, but he needs to develop a quicker first step. Wingels works and competes hard, and nowhere is that more evident than in his goal scoring.
Future
Wingels will enter his sophomore year at Miami University this fall.
