Jacob Perrault isn't locked in with Canada yet!

No reason he shouldn’t be invited to our WJSS camp. If his brother is at the NTDP, maybe that’ll help the chances of getting Jacob to switch.

This is actually incredible. I know it’s how hockey development skews to the older kids, but still that seems wild.

That was the first thing I noticed. Zeev Buium is the only 2024 draft eligible.

How do you pronounce that last name? And is he related to Shai who is eligible for this summer's NHL draft?

That Shattuck team was loaded. It'll be interesting to see how many of the 2006 players make prep next year if they stay at Shattuck.

Hopefully Eiserman, Park, Celebrini, Murray, etc. end up split between Prep and the U16 team for their development.

I believe that in addition to Eiserman, Celebrini, Park and Murray, Ziemer must succeed. He had 21 points from 6 games in the nationals. Very impressive too.

Is there any chance Celibrini is American? He’s from Canada but living in California for how long? His dad works for the Golden State Warriors right? I wonder if there’s any chance there.

He's not a dual.

 

[William H Bonney]

Charlie Stramel committed to Wisconsin. Really good pickup for the Badgers.

 

[SK94]

Does anyone know anything about Ethan Gauthier? Most of the important duals were invited but just curious is there any potential in younger Gauthier.

Watched the first game I know nothing about these players but Quentin Musty really stood out. Also liked William Smith and Aram Minnetian

Was Minnetian playing défense or forward?

He was playing defense

 

[JiggsNY]

I had no idea Lucas St. Louis played defense.

I didn't know anyone in the family knew what defense was

Here's a couple clips of Will Smith's two points in first period. Nice backhanded pass from behind the net for an assist on Perreault's goal and a lightning-quick release for a goal a couple shifts later.

 

[Ryan Van Horne]

Ryan Fine?

Didn't watch the whole scrimmage yet, but he scored a nice goal on a 3-on-2. Came down his off wing and snapped a shot high glove side.

That's the one.

 

[PuckProspects]

Ryan Fine?

Ryan Fine was good easy lock to make the team based on that one game.

 

[Ryan Van Horne]

I noticed this morning that Will Smith was not in the lineup. Not sure why. EDIT: Back in the lineup this evening.

 

[William H Bonney]

I noticed today that Will Smith was not in the lineup. Not sure why.

He played in the afternoon game. They sat 1 forward and 1 defenseman on each team for each game today.

Boo-E-mm I believe. Shai came to pre-season camp in Portland for two years before deciding on the NCAA route and I think that's how it was pronounced when listening to coverage of it. I'd assume they're related both coming from California and with a unique last name like that.
