Scouting Reports:
“Tenacious and competitive goal scoring forward, Tolvanen is a pure goal scorer that battles hard for loose pucks and works hard on the forecheck; is able to finish opportunities with a lightning quick release on his wrist shot and has deadly accuracy, owns good hands in tight as well.” – Brandon Holmes, Riding Pine Hockey

“This goal-scoring winger is a real offensive threat…plays with speed, intensity and skills…elusive with the puck on his stick…likes to shoot and has an impressive accurate shot with an absolutely deadly release…positions himself correctly to be open for the one-timer…a smooth, agile skater and covers ground at high rates of speed in transition…quick thinker who doesn’t stop moving his feet…good speed when carrying the puck and can accelerate quickly…skilled stickhandler who protects the puck well…an underrated playmaking forward that is a dual threat in the offensive zone, although he does love to shoot…aware of defensive-zone puck movement and positions himself responsibly…hunter on the forecheck who looks to turn over pucks and quickly switch to offense…effective on the backcheck as he looks to break up scoring chances…does not avoid physical play, but does not initiate it either…will become a NHL goal-scorer and difference-maker.” – Future Considerations
