Welby led IHC’s attack with 5G–2A—7 pts in 4 GP (1.75 PPG). He created off the rush, attacked lanes with pace, and finished with a quick, compact release; he was willing to drive through bodies to the net front. At 13 Welby already has a pro frame. He uses his strength and size to his advantage. His combination of power and skill is promising. Welby is returning back to the Islanders for 2025-2026.
