Carter Yakemchuk

Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL)

12/15/2023

He is a risk-and-reward defender, no question. He sees so much, but his passing at times couldn't translate the play he saw into the play on the ice. Very good skater, good size, lots of physicality, but he made some bad choices and needs work on his overall game awareness, I think.
