Final Rankings – The ceiling is low, but the certainty is high; Lafreniere plays an intelligent, disciplined, responsible game, allowing him to pester carriers and win battles all over the ice.—Luke Sweeney

June 2025 – Lafreniere is a quick-witted two-way forward who uses his intelligence to be a pesky play disruptor. A smart player with strong timing, he stays on top of the play, surveying and jumping on vulnerable pucks. While not always physical on the puck, Lafreniere is adept at using deception to surprise carriers and strip pucks off them. He finished fourth on Kamloops in scoring in his first year there, though his minus-33 was second lowest on the team. However, this was a weaker team, and everyone on the roster was well into the negative. – Luke Sweeney
