What he brings to juniors
Torres offers a junior staff a prep-to-junior candidate with recurring responsibility and a broader national evaluation opportunity. The development case centers on whether movement and puck control can support a useful older-level assignment.
What translates
His technical background credits mobility and management after the shot. A club should assess whether that control remains available when contact occurs before he has fully settled at a changed shooting lane.
USA Rank #23 · 2010Why this placement
The rank recognizes a positive prep foundation and relevant evaluation context. Serious consideration is warranted, with sustained junior use still required before the present tools can be projected into a substantial role.
Next development step
The next test is tracking the continuing puck through traffic while recovering. A staff should look for purposeful movement back to coverage rather than an additional correction once the next shooter is ready.
Competitive context
His 2025–26 record with The Rivers School lists 26 appearances, with a .913 save percentage.
