Scouting Report:
A good, agile skater with fast first steps and great speed with the puck, able to move in different directions unexpected. Likes to go one on one and possess slick hands and puck handling skills. Has a great overview to set up plays with his accurate and strong pass. He doesn’t need a lot of space to make plays and shows great patience with the puck. Still needs to gain strength and doesn’t show a lot of physical game. Needs to use his powerful wrist shot more often and sometimes tends to try too much with the puck on his stick. Doesn’t panic when under pressure, though. Sprong is a player who always gets things going and doesn’t shy away from making plays. Shows hockey sense in many of his shifts and can make a difference on and off the ice in favour of his team.    

NHL Potential: Playmaker. Has a very good overview and great accurate pass to setup plays. 

Style compares to: Jaden Schwartz

Scouting Report:
A powerful winger with good size and strength who is using his body pretty well to make plays in his own zone as well as offensive zone. Is very good in corner battles and his physical play is excellent. Shows strength while protecting the puck and good work ethic also in his own zone. Backchecks well and is playing an important role defensively. While his defensive game is good, he needs to improve his offensive skills. Often without big impacts offensively because is lacking a good shot and his passing skills should improve also. Needs to shoot more and create scoring chances. All in all a power forward who plays a NA style of game who loves to use his body to make plays.    

NHL Potential: Power Forward. Plays solid defensive and physical game but needs to improve his offence.
