Fantasy Summary

A two-way power forward who is defensively responsible, with limited offensive upside. Projects as a bottom-six forward with penalty killing usage.


Observations

September 2025 – If there is one constant with GM Bill Armstrong, it is that he loves drafting big players who can skate well. At 6-4, Hoch is another of Armstrong’s type. He uses his big body and engages in physical play. He has decent hands and put up good point totals in the Czechia U20 league, but struggled offensively in the top league. Hoch can play both center and wing, excels at a strong 200-foot game, and has potential as a bottom-six player. Keith Duggan

June 2025 – Selected 78th overall, Stepan Hoch is now a member of the Utah Mammoth. Mark Henry
