St. Anthony’s vs. Culver Standout
Speed is always the first thing that’s associated with Dale and with good reason. He is so FREAKING fast. He’s so fast he makes fast people look not fast.
So, yes, he’s fast, but there’s a lot more to love about Dale’s game. The fact that he was playing in all situations for the Friars in his first game as a sophomore tells you just about everything you need to know about his future. Dale finished with a goal and an assist – both on man-up – and you can tell that St. Anthony’s trusts him to do a lot. He initiated as a dodger, took some faceoff wings, played man-up, got back on defense at times and oh, also laid one of the biggest hits of the game when he wiped out a Culver player on a faceoff. His goal came on a stepdown from 13 or so yards out on one of the top goalies in the country. He set up five-star senior Jake Johnston (LI Express / Johns Hopkins), too. Dale’s easily one of the top sophomores in the country.
NLF Fall Invitational Standout
Dale’s one of the – the? – fastest players in the class of 2028. He looks like he’s shot out of a cannon every time he puts his foot in the ground and decides it’s time to go. His clears are comical to watch as he blows by everyone and leaves people flailing at air trying to slow him down. Dale was the offensive bellcow in a win over Prime Time. In settled 6v6 sets, he got the defense out of position by sweeping to his right and throwing a handful of deft feeds inside. Sag off of him, and he’ll keep it himself and let it rip. Dale also showed off the power on his shot by canning a rip from the wing off off of a Harrison Tyler (Lawrenceville, N.J.) feed. St. Anthony’s is loaded offensively again this year – just like pretty much every year – but it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Dale get significant time. He’s too athletic to be on the bench.
