Player Summary:
Colton Matracia is a strong, reliable two-way defenseman who plays with a level of maturity, confidence, and discipline that stands out in the 2012 age group. A core piece of the Ohio AAA Blue Jackets blue line, Colton plays a well-rounded 200-foot game with a calm presence and excellent hockey IQ. His game is built around smart decision-making, tight gap control, and clean puck movement—he rarely panics, even under pressure.
Colton’s foundation has been shaped through several years of high-level skill development, including three years of training with the respected Lee Harris Skating System. That influence shows in his smooth, efficient skating stride, crisp pivots, and lateral mobility. He’s a defenseman who knows how to manage his gaps, defend with positioning, and transition the puck quickly and effectively.
In the offensive zone, Colton picks his spots well. He jumps into plays with timing, gets shots through from the point, and supports his forwards in a smart and calculated way. He has a strong sense of when to be aggressive and when to stay home, making him dependable in all situations.
Coaches trust him with big minutes, and he continues to prove himself against top-tier competition—most recently at the 2025 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament. With his strong skating base, polished skill set, and team-first approach, Colton is one of the more complete and promising young defensemen in his birth year.
