- Scouts consider Cates to be a naturally skilled forward with the potential to make an impact at the collegiate and, later, work his way up to the pro level. Needs to fill out his lanky frame and play against a higher grade of competition.
- Dominated this past season at the high school level for Stillwater High (whom he captained) and for Team Northeast. Also appeared in 11 games in the USHL for the Omaha Lancers, chipping in two goals and seven points.
