Little report i found on Kyle that may be of interest:


Kyle Cumiskey, D - Kelowna (WHL)
7th round, 222nd overall
5’11 165
Born: December 2, 1986 in Abbotsford, BC

After getting minimal minutes with Kelowna in his rookie year during the 2003-04 championship season, Kyle Cumiskey really stepped up this past season into an expanded role for the Rockets. Cumiskey helped anchor a blue line that also boasted the likes of Shea Weber and Mike Card, both of whom helped lead Kelowna to back-to-back WHL Championships and Memorial Cup Finals appearances. Although fate wasn't on their side this year, Cumiskey shined for the Rockets.

He is a very poised and gifted offensive defenseman, as indicated by his 40 points while playing in all 72 games this season. He is extremely versatile and can be used in all situations. He is a balanced skater with decent acceleration and overall speed. He has good hands and vision, which ultimately gives him the upper hand on the rush.

Cumiskey is set for a third season with Kelowna in the fall.
