Northern Cyclones 16U
Barany gives a junior recruiter a youth prospect whose stopping record and puck-control assessment merit attention. The case is to test whether the process behind those outcomes remains useful against faster and more persistent pressure.
His prior technical opinion connects mobility with rebound management. A staff should see how that combination handles chances where the initial stop does not end the possession and a new release follows quickly.
He is unranked because a positive youth foundation does not yet define his junior role. Consideration is warranted for a focused evaluation of the quality and repeatability of his save preparation.
The most informative test is contact under net-front traffic. Finding the next puck promptly and recovering to a usable lane would help establish whether his current control can translate to an older assignment.
His 2025–26 record with Northern Cyclones 16U lists 20 appearances, with a 1.80 goals-against average and a .929 save percentage.
