Elite level hand speed. Footwork has improved vastly, shooting him up as one of the top 2021 prospects in the Philly area. Extremely coachable, improving positional IQ. Finished 2nd in 2021 class at The 2018 Faceoff Academy National Showcase.
PT Ricci
Matt is a hard working and dedicated athlete with a large upside. Matt has the ability to not only faceoff, but play both ends of the field. Matt's greatest asset is his athletic ability and grit.
John Bodnar
One of the more talented 2021 FO/M recruits in the Philly area, Matt displays all of the tools needed to be a great faceoff guy. He's athletic, strong, and has a high IQ for the game. You won't find a player who wants to constantly improve/learn more than Matt.
