C Noah Kosick - Calgary Hitmen, WHL (2026 Draft)

[GermanSpitfire]

Already off to a strong start after a 5 point outing last night in a 5-3 win.

He now has 7 points in 2 games to start the year.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

"Only" a two point game in a 7-6 win yesterday. Up to 9 points in his first 3 games at the U18 level. It's early but he is on pace to put up similar totals to Matthew Savoie (71pts in 31gp) and Connor Bedard (84pts in 36gp)

Another 4 point game to bring him to 13 in 4 games. Can anyone more familiar with the CSSHL shine some light on the situation? Is he playing a weak a schedule due to being based on the island? Obviously it’s early but if he keeps it up he is going to make Bedard’s 14 year old season look pedestrian despite being listed at 5’0 105lbs vs Bedard who was essentially the same size he is today.

Surely they can’t grant him exceptional status due to his size but he will absolutely terrorize the league if he goes back - especially considering a growth spurt is inevitable. I have a few of his games circled in the next couples months, have to see for myself how he’s doing it.

CSSHL is always a bit of a grab bag. Lots of very good players but, especially now with about 49,000 teams in their U18 division, the teams range from quite good to pretty forgettable. PCHA has had a little bit of success in the past few years, but is by no means one of the top academies in the league and it looks like they haven't played against the teams that usually are the top of the table - primarily Burnaby and Delta.

This is from last season but hands and edge work look elite and size looks about as advertised.

 

[wetcoast]

Kid looks like a player.

Does anyone know his current size? No way he's still 5'2.

Just wagering a guess from the game I saw a week back, he’s in the 5’4-5’6” range

Yeah, that makes more sense because he does look slightly less short than before against competition. His dad is 6'0 so I'd hope he grow at least to 5'8-5'9 at worst.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

17 points in 6 games to start the season. Still pacing for Bedard like numbers.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

19 points in 7 games.

Leads the entire U18 league in scoring as a 14 year old. Don’t think I need to exclaim how impressive that actually is.

 

[Huusko]

Are there any news about his decision for what country he will play? Is there still any small chance, the German DEB can convince him to play for Germany?

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Anything is possible, I suppose - but he grew up in Canada and has played hockey in Canada for as long as stats have been documented.

If he is given the opportunity to play for Canada internationally - he most certainly will.

Thanks, I have to agree. But I at least hope the DEB will give it a try!

 

[austin63867]

He's up to 5'6 now according to EP. He's 4th all time in PPG by a U15 year old this year in the CSSHL U18.

Bedard - 36/41/43/84 (2.33PPG)
Savoie - 31/31/40/71(2.29PPG)
McKenna - 33/23/42/65 (1.86PPG)
Kosick - 30G/10/35/45 (1.50PPG)

Only 4 players to have scored a PPG pace and have more than 3GP. I think most people have Verhoeff as the top pick, but I think Kosick has a legit shot at #2. His maturity and Dominance has improved from what I've seen. He's not as physically challenged as before. Still noticeably small but he's looking more like someone who can play at the next level.

 

[macbowes]

I want Victoria to take him! He's the local kid, how could they not.

 

[macbowes]

I saw that he played in their Feb. 26th game against Shawnigan, in which there was a 3rd period penalty for a hit to the head. Then, Kosick didn't play their next game on Mar. 1st. I can't find anywhere that confirms that Kosick was hurt, does anyone know? Hopefully nothing serious if so, the CSSHL playoffs start Mar. 13.

According to the Victoria newspaper, Kosick is 5'4

Victoria's Noah Kosick has WHL, NCAA scouts galvanized

The 14-year-old is coming off a strong season for the Pacific Coast Hockey Academy Sea Devils U-18 team.

[LeProspector]

14 years old? Still a couple years to even consider talking about height.

The being said. He’s shorter than Logan Stankoven.

Thanks. Sounds like he may be considering the BCHL as well. It would be cool if he chooses that route and I get to see him more live.

 

[landy92mack29]

yeah he's probably going to fall, has college concerns among the size concern. Him, Lin and Rudolph are the 3 high end guys who have NCAA worries from whl teams that I've heard. Maybe Rucks also if they don't go to the same team.

 

[SK94]

Maybe NTDP is able to lure him next year like they did with William Moore.

Don’t believe he is eligible to represent the US.

Unless they grant a spot to non-citizen like in the Sawchyn example I don’t see why this would happen; if he’s considering NCAA he will likely play BCHL or Chicago steel until then

 

[BKarchitect]

Is Kosick an actual German dual or just born in Germany while his dad was playing?
