2021 NWHL Draft Prospect Profile: MacKenzie Lombardi

F MacKenzie Lombardi, Morrisville (NEWHL - DIII)

Hometown: Hamilton, Ontario

Lombardi is a waterbug, small and quick with fantastic offensive upside. She’s a diminutive, intelligent sniper who manages to do her fair share of distribution as well. Her biggest drawback is her size – she’d be one of the smaller forwards in the league at just 5’2”, and she’s rather spindly to boot. But you can’t argue with the results – two straight seasons at or above a point-per-game pace and a near-20% shooting percentage. She compares very favorably to Beauts star Autumn MacDougall, and although the pandemic prevented her from suiting up this year, she would be an intriguing addition to a team’s middle six.
