Anaheim Jr. Ducks 16U
Tate offers a team a development candidate whose youth performance has begun to receive a major-junior test. The two settings give a recruiter a reason to examine a pathway toward more responsibility, without assuming that a short introduction settles readiness.
The available record describes competitive outcomes more precisely than technique. A direct assessment should identify how his reads and first-save positioning produce those outcomes before attaching a stronger mechanical label to his game.
His placement credits youth competitive success and encouraging initial junior appearances. The case for consideration is that progression, with sustained use still required to judge how much of it can be repeated.
A staff should follow him through traffic, quick passing and immediate rebounds in the same evaluation. Controlled decisions across that variety would make the transition more informative than a short appearance line alone.
His Anaheim 16U club line lists 26 appearances and a 2.23 GAA; a club-wide save percentage is not available.
Separately, his eight-game T1EHL regular-season line was 2.35 GAA and .925, with two league playoff appearances at 2.00 and .923. In two WHL appearances for Kamloops, he recorded 2.51 GAA and .919. The junior sample is encouraging but small.
