Landon Slaggert

U.S. A.  Developmental team whose father Andy is an assistant coach at the University of Notre Dame, where he has committed. As are most of the USA players, he has a high hockey IQ sound decision making instincts and good all-around toolbox and skill. Does everything well but doesn’t have an outstanding strength that would classify him in a more dynamic fashion. Not a speed demon, but shifty, quick, and elusive. He is a very good balance skater who has a very good wall game, a good cycle, and strong, hard forecheck. Mature and a great teammate who can play up and down a line-up in various roles but projects as mid roster. Pro-caliber vision, and hockey sense to read and anticipate where the play is going and makes good plays all over the ice because of it.  Not afraid of going to the tough areas. relentless worker with a 200 foot game who who lien up against the opposition's best scorer. He might not jump out at you when you watch him, but he rarely leaves you wanting more...In 2019-20, Slaggert appeared in 66 games scoring 34 points. In college, he needs to shoot more, when it is the best option instead of over-passing.
