Romano is a steady, two-way center who contributes on both sides of the puck for Kitchener, with his all-around game showing significant growth during his second OHL campaign. He is recognized for his strong skating ability, featuring excellent top-end speed and edge work that allows him to evade attackers and maintain puck control. His vision and puck-handling complement his skating, enabling him to make intelligent decisions and execute plays consistently. Offensively, Romano is a steady scoring threat, particularly in transition and when rushing the puck up ice. He has the ability to suddenly accelerate the pace of play, putting defenders on their heels. While his defensive game is still a work in progress, he is no slouch, with improving defensive awareness and positioning. He competes hard for the puck and is utilized on the penalty kill. Romano needs to add strength to his frame to enhance his effectiveness in front of the net and along the boards. He projects to evolve into a top-six forward at the next level, and rounding out his defensive play while maturing physically will aid his development. It seems likely he will hear his name called in the early second round of the 2025 draft.
