There is a promising young center called Ref Ulriz making noise somewhere in Poland, tough to say where a young boy aged just 11 will go in the future, but if the latest scout reports can be trusted: ´Bit like Rafe Ulrich, but better´. - he will have a bright future ahead of him.

Ref´s ability to wait that extra half of a second is the key in his success, does not really pass the puck in a flashy way or have a heavy shot, but puck control and skating ability is almost elite level already, can dangle around anybody and use his strength to keep defenders behind him.

Scouts gave rating 40 out of 99 for both passing and shooting with very little potential on either improving - ever, but puck handling and skating were already at 90 out 99. On top of that, it was reported that defensively Ulriz is well above anybody in his age group, so almost weird combination of puck skills, skating and defensive play in one small package.

Or well small and small, Ref is at the moment roughly around 180cm and still growing, if we look at his father, Ref could grow well over 200cm in the future.
