2025-26 NTDP U17 Team Selection

[BKarchitect]

All of these players will (should) receive invites and stand an excellent chance of making the roster

OHL Territory
Milojevic, Pelosi, Daley, Bergeron, Semetsis, Aucoin, Thibodeau (Canadian but born in the U.S.), Conboy, Jackman, Deanovich,

WHL Territory
Schnieder, Fitzhenry, McArthur, Thoreson, Spehar, Guiterrez

QMJHL Territory
Meyer, Sears, Pandalfo, Davis

The bolded players are guaranteed locks

Thanks!

Here is another projection I found from a couple weeks ago, in case folks were wanting to start to see some more names that might be interesting to follow. The linked post also has "other" names to watch for forward, defense and goal in addition to the projected roster.

Is Landon Jackman, Barret Jackman’s son? I see he played high school and juniors until this season in the St. Louis area. EP doesn’t say. Maybe I’m making a correlation out of a coincidence. Kid is huge…

Even if not, legacy and sibling names all over the place.

Nope, not his son

Love this list. Thanks for sharing.

I could easily see some of those bubble kids making the team, of course I've not seen all those listed.

Thoughts on Drew Roscoe at SSM? The kid has the size folks have to love but he was also really solid last year in other areas of his game.

Love that the list has Scuderi, Pelosi, and Berard. Not sure that Berard is better than Yakub but his game is really strong.

Anyone have the dates for the NTDP evaluation camp? I know March but when specifically?

With the CHL now NCAA eligible, I wonder if any bubble guys who might not be that thrilled with a depth role on the NTDP might decide to go to the CHL to "drive the bus" on an individual team & play big minutes, & then still go to whichever NCAA program they choose. Just something to consider.

That forward lineup is loaded. And there is certainly a chance some of those bubble players make it. Zasada, Grubb, Cooper will be hard players to cut. Pellegrino is an interesting one, he is a Johnny Gaudreau clone - small, quick, very slippery and knows how to score.

I think there are a few of those bubble players who are already dead set on CHL. Would be surprised if Tverdovsky, Santa Maria, Barch in particular don't go CHL. Won't be shocked to see Daley Jr go CHL either.
