Scouting Report written by Paul Zuk

Currently sitting near the top of the list in “Best Draft Eligible Names” for the 2021 NHL Draft, Matthew (Mackie) Samoskevich is a 2021 NHL Draft eligible prospect currently playing for the Chicago Steel in the USHL. Samoskevich is a natural born center, but is more than capable of suiting up on the wing, as he has done throughout the better part of two seasons with Chicago.

Samoskevich grew up in Newtown, Connecticut, and played his youth hockey for the Connecticut Oilers 14U AAA in the AYHL. From there, he joined Shattuck St. Mary’s Prep School for three seasons (16/17 to 18/19). In his final season at Shattuck, Samoskevich tore up the competition, scoring 36 goals and 74 points in 51 games. He joined the Chicago Steel, who selected him in the 2018 USHL Futures Draft, in the 2019-20 season, where he tallied 13 goals and 34 points in 47 games. So far this season, Samoskevich has continued his meteoric rise, scoring nine times and adding 17 assists for 26 points in 22 games.
