2024-25 USNTDP U18 Discussion

LJ Mooney hurt in the Notre Dame game yesterday after a big open ice hit from Tyler Carpenter.

That’s going to be the problem with LJ. Does he have the skating, evasiveness, and skill to overcome his diminutive stature? I just don’t think he does. I’m not sure if there is a legit pro player there and I’m a fan on Mooney.

It was a dirty hit, so not sure it’s the best way to assess those things. Look how big Laine is. He got injured with the same type of hit.

Fair questions about if Mooney has those attributes for the NHL, but pro? There’s a lot of pro hockey leagues. I’m pretty confident in saying he’ll make money playing hockey, if he wants.
