McKeon was a young middie whom I’d heard positive reviews about coming away from the fall showcase circuit and tracked through the early goings of his freshman season. The explosive lefty raced out to a hot start, recording 13 goals and four assists through his first six games and now holding totals of 40 goals and 20 assists (plus 56 GB’s) heading into Monday’s playoff matchup. A smooth operator up top with a full bag of tricks, McKeon’s got an impressive left-to-left split and a hitch-to-roll in his repertoire, doing a great job of reading his defender’s body language and executing his moves from there. He has the kind of choppy footwork that allows him to win his matchups and get to his spots, along with the athleticism that allows him to win matchups on simple speed dodges. His frame is still filling out (as to be expected for someone at that age), but he puts a ton of zip on his shots thanks to snappy wrists, likely a byproduct of his hockey background.
