Talent Analysis

Tommaso Bucci is a play-making forward that has an extremely high hockey IQ, and uses that to his advantage. His strongest attribute is his passing and decision-making, and you rarely see him turn the puck over in the offensive zone. Above average hands, and definitely some elusiveness. Not an outstanding shot, but definitely effective. He has a knack for being in the right place at the right time, and finishing on rebounds. His biggest weakness last season was his size and strength, and from early showings at the Summer Showcase it's obvious that he put on some muscle weight and has worked on this aspect of his game. Has the potential to be one of the elite playmakers in the USPHL.  (USPHL Prospects, July 2014)
