Here's what Elite Prospects had to say about him:
Whether playing on the wing or down the middle – both positions he appeared in throughout the year – Hoch has an aura of maturity while he steps on the ice.

When the play enters the defensive zone, he scans actively, recognizes threats, and eliminates them methodically
