It’s extremely unlikely for him as an 18 year old. As he said, maybe next year if he keeps this up but it’s really hard to make the Canada WJC team and I doubt he’s even on their radar for this year.
A 6'3 18 year old scoring 10 goals in 12 games on a low scoring team will get him on the radar. I'm not saying he will make the team, I do think there is a chance he is invited to camp.

He wasn’t even part of the summer showcase was he?

I honestly don’t think there’s much of a chance at all.
 
Trying to remember Boucher, He basically only had a good shot but pretty much sucked at skating and pretty much everything else?

Reid Boucher had 28 goals and 50 points in 67 GP in his age 18 season after we drafted him.

Josh Filmon already has 11 goals and 17 points in 14 GP.

Their production is a bit different.

Liking the way Filmon has come out playing this year, very exciting kid to watch. Maybe we should invite this Mathew Ward kid on his team to camp next year too. Undrafted 18 year old on the smaller side at 5'8 but plays bigger than his size. Led the Broncos in points last year and currently leading them again. Seems to rack up the PIMs as well.

I’m going to go watch the next time the Broncos are in Town. Hopefully I don’t jinx him and he goes on a cold streak
 
Bring a sign that says " FILMON, Devils fans are watching you" with a creepy face on it.:naughty:

Just noticed that Swift Current has another tall skinny kid who was drafted late in last years draft and is now over a PPG in Connor Hvidston.

Hvidston was a Sept b-day so very young for last years draft, which I'm always on the lookout for, but still, I prefer the goal scorer in Filmon.

I only see one 20 year old in their top 12ish in scoring, and that guy is 5th. Looks like a similar story to the Devils in recent years as their goal tending is lousy, but that team could be pretty good next year.

The second game in a row that our boy Josh had a goal and an assist, this time in a away 4-3 win.



A very interesting side note, he played center.



He’s gotten some face-offs in earlier games. Then in his last few games he’s taken a bunch more with a move to center:
11/25: 1/9 FOW/FOA
11/26: 9/15
12/2: 8/21

He has a total of 29/69 FOW/FOA in 19 games.
I have no idea if this is a permanent move or if he’s subbing for someone who’s out, but it’s great to see.
