Talent Analysis
Has great speed and is up there with the best in the U16 Division in terms of straight-line speed and agility. He's a player who thrives in the offensive zone. Great vision, always knows the right place for the next pass and hits his targets more often than not. Shot isn't top-notch but his hands are, so he can pull a goaltender out of position and finish. Great forechecker, very pesky and uses his speed. Not the most physical player, but has enough muscle on him to battle for pucks. Has a tendency to float a bit in the neutral and defensive zones, and not always in the best defensive positions. Very high offensive upside here. (Pete Judge/USPHL Prospects, July 2014)
Future
Acosta is uncommitted. He will play for the New Jersey Hitmen in 2014-15.
