Despite his small stature, Riley Streska is considered to be one of the strongest players in his league. Being an extremely shifty player offensively, Streska has the ability to take a defender 1 on 1, by either dangling them or using them as a screen on their own goalie. Streska is renowned for his scoring ability, packing a highly accurate short with a strong and fast release. Streska is capable of winning puck battles in every zone on the ice, and takes advantage of the fact that he is in top physical shape. Streska has incredible endurance, being able to end a game just as strong as he started it. Streska also sports amazing edges, making him a lethal skater in tight situations. Overall, Streska serves as a powerful two way player with a lethal shot, which could make him an alluring draft pick for any OHL in the mid to later rounds. While his size hurts him, one cannot deny that his strength and shot make up for any downside it may bring. Besides, Streska is still young and has tons of time to grow even further, which if that is the case, Streska could become one of the strongest players in the draft, which would only raise his draft stock further. Time will tell for Streska, but the OHL may be a possibility for this young man before he knows it.
