Key Strengths

3 Areas
  • Ryan Trahan is a highly effective and reliable two-way defenseman with significant strengths in his own end.
  • His combination of high-level defensive IQ, strong positioning, and assertive physicality makes him very difficult to play against.
  • He is a dependable player who makes smart, safe plays with the puck and contributes positively to his team’s structure.

Opportunities

3 Areas
  • Increase Offensive Aggressiveness — Focus on developing a more threatening shot from the point. Work on shot power and a quicker release to turn point shots into more direct scoring threats. Practice walking the blue line to create better shooting lanes.
  • Enhance Puck Skills Under Pressure — Continue to build confidence and skill with puck handling on the backhand. Drills that force puck control and passing on the backhand while under pressure will help round out his puck management skills.
  • Maximize Skating Explosiveness — While overall skating is good, focusing on explosive starts and a faster stride return rate through plyometrics and overspeed training can add another dynamic layer to his game, improving both offensive separation and defensive recovery speed.
