Talent Analysis

van Riemsdyk is very strong with and without the puck, has slick hands and likes to be fancy sometimes, but also shows the ability to make the power move to the outside. van Riemsdyk has a big, long powerful stride but does not have quick enough foot speed. He has a really hard shot and is deadly accurate. He will never be the best defensive player on the ice, however. (Future Considerations, June 2014)

Future

van Riemsdyk will play for Islanders Hockey Club Premier in 2014-15. He is committed to the University of New Hampshire for 2015.
