Andrew Cristall

Cami Kepke of chl.ca writes this about the prospect:

""For a second straight season, sniper Andrew Cristall led the Kelowna Rockets in scoring with a monster 40 goal, 71 assist campaign, tallying 111 points and a +23 rating in 62 games. The 5-foot-10, 175-pound winger finished fifth in the league in points and tied for fourth in assists. Cristall recorded the second-longest point streak in the WHL, racking up 17 goals and 28 assists for 45 points in 23 consecutive games stretching from November to January.""

Kepke also adds that the 19 year old had a pair of hat tricks and a career-high seven-point night (two goals, five assists) and tied with Tij Iginla with 15 points (four goals, 11 assists) to lead the Rockets in preseason scoring. Cristall, a 2023 second-round pick of the Capitals, was also named a WHL B.C. Division Second-Team All-Star and got an invite to Hockey Canada's National Junior Team Summer Showcase which is the first step toward representing his country in the 2025 IIHF World Junior Championship. Cristall signed an entry level deal prior to the start of the 2023-24 season.
