Scouting Reports:
“Big and well- rounded center, Poehling is an intelligent and competitive center that can do a bit of everything; equally effective as a playmaker and goal scorer and shows both strong hockey smarts and two-way acumen. Good straight line speed but needs to work on his all-around agility.” – Brandon Holmes, Riding Pine Hockey
“A do-it-all power-center…a thinking mans hockey player… good straight-line speed but could work on his first couple steps… he makes up for foot speed with great hockey sense, and his strong worth ethic…controls the puck well, protects it nicely…has an uncanny knack of being in the right spot at the right time…has a quick, hard shot…possess a strong one-timer as he reads the play incredibly well, and positions himself effectively…makes good passes and is able to create offense…makes pro-type plays…high compete-level, 200 ft. player…hard on the forecheck, takes great angles to pucks and battles hard down-low and along the boards…isn’t afraid to mix it up, and get to the dirty areas of the ice…solid in the face-off circle…a good head on his shoulders with the drive and the right attitude to succeed…will produce offensively and be a player that is used in many roles by his coach …reliable, mature, high compete-level, 200 ft. player.
