Jakub Dobes

Started with Topeka but an injury call-up to Omaha in the USHL has offered him a audition at a higher tier. Has size, excellent reflexives for first shot / save quickness, and adjusted quickly to the higher skilled shooter and faster pace. Moves well laterally but is a work in progress as he improves his puck handling, squaring up and setting to shooters, and occasional leaks of shots squirting pas the goal line. Committed to Ohio State University. Was the Central Scouting Services 20th ranked North American net minder.
