Player Summary:
Matthew Tselnik is a steady, reliable two-way defenseman who plays a mature, composed game from the back end. As a key piece on the powerhouse Mid-Fairfield Jr. Rangers blue line, Tselnik consistently takes on tough minutes and delivers in all situations. He’s strong defensively — using good stick positioning, strong gap control, and smart reads to shut down plays early — but also has the ability to move the puck with confidence and contribute offensively when opportunities arise.
What stands out about Tselnik is his hockey IQ and decision-making under pressure. He doesn’t force plays, understands timing and spacing, and makes quick, effective outlets to kickstart the transition game. He plays with poise beyond his years and doesn’t panic under forecheck pressure. His ability to defend high-end talent, break up entries, and make clean first passes makes him a reliable asset on the back end — and the offensive side of his game continues to come along.
