Director of NHL Central Scouting, Dan Marr:
"Jake Walman is a dynamic two-way defenseman who is quite effective at skating and moving the puck. He is a strong skater who plays with a presence both with and without the puck, has a good understanding of positioning and can play the game with authority. A player that is utilized in all situations, his development in the OJHL has prepared him for his upcoming move to Providence College."
