Christian Humphreys

May 2025 – After his NCAA debut went poorly (1 point in 10 games, multiple scratches), Humphreys jumped ship to Kitchener of the OHL and has looked fantastic ever since. He ended up leading the squad in points per game with 33 in 28, and although his stat line is assist-heavy, it’s not so heavy to limit his outlook at this stage of development. He produced just as well in the playoffs, played both center and wing, and doesn’t take many penalties, good indicators going forward. Unfortunately his season ended with an injury sustained from a high hit. He initially indicated that he would return to the NCAA in 2026, but that has not been updated after seeing so much OHL success so his future is uncertain. Regardless of which league he returns to, the small-ish forward will need several years to becoming a well-rounded threat and fill out.  Hayden Soboleski

June 2024 – Humphreys ended the season strong and was remarkable during the u18’s. It was clear to see that playing alongside trailblazers in Trevor Connelly and LJ Mooney gave Humphreys the confidence to flash his skill more often. When he wasn’t showing off Humphreys was sticking to his usual guns, intelligent distribution and well sequenced transition play with the occasional eye-popping stretch pass. While Humphreys does bring a lot of talent to the table, it’s not quite projectable to the NHL level. He plays a slow game and a not very physical one at that. If Humphreys can bring the dawg out during his time in Michigan, he has a great chance to land on an NHL team’s middle-six. David Saad
