Jimmy Lombardi

Final Rankings – Lombardi is a pesty high-energy forward who uses speed and tenacity to pressure opponents, with a solid defensive game as a supporting center. However, his overzealousness leads to errors, and he may be better suited as a winger. With refinement, he projects as a bottom-six energy forward.—David Saad

June 2025 – A disruptive center with an active defensive stick, Lombardi plays with intensity but maintains responsible offensive-zone positioning, tracking back through the middle and rotating high to defend the rush. Lombardi’s M.O. doesn’t push the envelope offensively—retrievals, set-ups, driving the net off the puck, reaping rewards. He’s projectable, reliable, and plays with the intensity and physicality to thrive as a defensive player at higher levels. – Luke Sweeney
