F Eli McKamey - Shawnigan Lake School Prep, CSSHL U15 (2027 Draft)

[landy92mack29]

Weird you were on here just a few months ago telling all of us the WHL wouldn't lose any talent to the BCHL

said they wouldn't lose much but comprehension isn't your strong suit apparently

 

[JotAlan]

What are your expectations for your 15th anniversary season in the bchl?

Per Grand Forks Herald's Brad Schlossman (North Dakota and NCAA Hockey GOAT reporter), McKamey has accelerated so he's a junior this year and can commit to an NCAA program on August 1 when the recruiting window opens up. And thus, he'll play his draft year in the NCAA presuming he stays with that route.

I don’t know if he’s *that* talented. But good for him.

He's pretty darn good. At the Circle K Classic this year, he had the same amount of points as William Zellers did, and he was just drafted in the 3rd round. He's 3 years younger. Zellers is going to be in the NCAA in 2025-26, with McKamey being 2026-27.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

There's a lot of mixed reactions from both sides of the border about the potential decision. NCAA teams want to strengthen their teams (not necessarily developing NHL players). Having a bunch of 20+ players with tons of hockey experience would boost any college team. This totally hurts USports team that had access to those players exclusively. No idea why Hockey Canada and the CHL would accept such decision, with no obvious benefit to themselves.

And CHL players get free tuition to universities in Canada, will that change if those players end up getting scholarships to the States?



No prob. Time to catch some Grizzlies games! Bit of a surprise he didn't choose a local team but the Vees are the best team in the league.

Hockey Canada has no say in the matter. The only thing preventing CHL players from jumping to the NCAA right now are NCAA rules.
As far players thatve aged out of CHL why would HC want to stop them? U sports is where hockey careers go to die. Even current U students barely give a shit about U hockey.

Wonder if the parents are from the Cowichan Valley, or moved in from somewhere else? Also, what his marks are like. Might give a clue as to where he is looking to go to school.

That's not the point. The aged out CHLers aren't going to make hockey careers in college hockey either. Usports is pretty important to those that are playing, maybe not to you.

McKamey had a hat trick against Salmon Arm in the BCHL exhibition game that was played before the Oilers v. Flames game tonight.

 

[Dempsey]

Looked great in preseason yesterday. Hattrick, was dangerous around the net all game. Plays PP1 already as well.

With Nyman also on the roster the Vees are going to be must viewing for scouts this season.
