I wasn’t there myself just going on what I heard but as far as young talent Woods, Croft, Sheilds & Arsenault looked to be good upfront, all putting up multiple points. Taylor & Diamond I was told looked good on the Back end and Aiken was solid between the pipes. Look for the Saints to have another great showing at this years draft IMO
Ok thanks, I looked for it to be streamed but it wasn't, they are the names I expected you to say, Connor Arsenault and Shields and did you mean Tyler Wood? or was there another kid there named Woods?
No Problem
Yes I meant Tyler woods, Brady Croft, Will Sheilds & Michael Arsenault
These guys are gonna be fun to watch this season
Heard shields and Tyler wood and Connor Arsenault were looking good, Micheal Arsenault was pretty good too, heard Petipas and taylor and manders looked good and MacEeachern looked pretty good too
These kids must be on all summer, sometimes the on ice training never stops for some of them, but I guess it's getting close to start ramping up for their tryouts at the end of Aug and early Sept
Pittsburgh Penguins Elite 15U have 2 N.S. kids on there roster Owen Phillips and Michael O'Brien, lots of kids heading to the US in the fall
The Mount team had some decent players last year but not really standouts. If they could add Shields or an Arsenault would definitely help them but they would still struggle if they played a team like the Knights. The mount will likely get some more decent 06s that don’t make the Knights or Wild. The Knights will have the top 06s and the Wild will have some good ones too.
Thought the Mount had better 05s compared to the Knights or Wild last year. It's just that a full team of 05 against top 04s like Huggan, MacLean and Vos and even some 03s isn't going to be easy no matter what.
I agree, and I believe the knights and wild are gonna be strong teams this year with 05 & 06, but don’t count the Mount out just yet, there U18 team will be strong with some returning players in their roster. But I strongly believe with the program the mount has and hearing kids like diamond and Taylor on the back end with Jean, Croft, Balsley all signed up front and Aiken in nets plus who ever Else they sign this season. this team is going to be a tough competitor in the U18 league this year. IMO
So you are saying, that if all is back to normal, Mount U18 will be playing in the NB-PEI U18 league? I don't think that will be the case at all. The league will move back to some inter-lock games with NSU18 and the Mount will have to sell their program for exactly what it is.....a route that creates visibility to US Prep. If not...why would anyone in their right mind pay 30K to play in the NBPEI league.
That I can’t say for sure all I am hearing is that the U17’s and the U18 will be playing in the U18 major league this coming year, as well as travelling Quebec, Ontario & State side to tournaments and showcases. They produced a lot last year come draft time, look for them to try and do the same this year as well
So what you are saying is The Mount will play in the NBPEIU18 league as well as travel to the U.S and Quebec. So basically setting their own schedule for the league to work around? Not a chance, exhibition only and probably only within PEI, they will not be part of the league. Not sure I can give them much credit for producing talent either....MacDonald was there 2 years...the rest would have been drafted regardless of where they played. There is no cake and eat it too scenerio here, they are a Prep team in a Prep league.
Yes I agree. I can’t see them playing in the U18 league. I just meant if they played some exhibition games. The 2006 age group won’t be as strong as the 2005 from last year. I think covid helped the mount take in some players they may not have with parents thinking they would have the advantage of being in PEI and being on the ice lots.
Agree 100%. The distribution of 06's will be interesting to follow. The Knights will have roster spots open and so will the Wild. It's time HPEI gets their S*I% together has players sign 3 year contracts with their respective teams. Would love 2 see 2 solid teams next year.
Anybody who was at the Hockey Quebec U16 camp this week can add perspective/ refinement to that list, since it was, in many cases, the first time they do high pace game for over a year?
Desruisseaux was probably the best player there. As for the rest, not too many surprises for me. Guillaume Fillion on D looks like a top 3 round guy.
I'll probably do a more in-depth list soon.
I’m hearing the Wild are securing Sharkey, Dickson, maybe Arsenault at F and maybe Smith, Mackinnon on D. G Gallant looks to be going there too with Thompson moving to Knights.
Knights are securing Campbell, Griffin, Nicholson and Waugh which is pretty impressive.
It's an even distribution as far as numbers go, but the Knights may have the better 06's with Campbell, Nicholson and Waugh, but I do like Dickson and Smith for the Wild, but the Island kids are lucky that there is room for 10 of them in Major Midget, doubt if the will be the case in N.B.
I think you missed NB's top defenseman Jereme Richard and Liam Kilfoil is headed for US prep with Mt ST Charles...you have alot of PEI guys listed but probably there best is Tyler Wood, he is another kid who chose US Prep. I also think Justin Smith was Easterns best 06 defenseman
I agree Richard is good. Seemed to have an edge to his game too last time I seen him. I agree Smith was Easterns top D man. I don’t agree about Wood. I’d put him top 5-6 now. Body language always been atrocious.
Well 2 out of 3 ain't bad...just thought these 3 kids would compliment your NB/PEI list, Smith and Richard are steady stay at home type of D-men that should transition to U18 nicely and well I guess you're not much of a fan of the Wood kid, lol
Kilfoil and Wheeler in NB are both 2007's not 2006's, that said they are probably better than any 2006 forward in the province in terms of IQ and upside. Richard and Gill are two of the top D men in NB based on the Bantam season, they will log solid minutes with the Flyers next season.
I didn't know about Wheeler. Thought he was a 2006. Interesting. The 07s in New Brunswick look pretty solid across the board.
