Watched another game yesterday, this guy was built to rack up points. PP magician.
He's clearly good enough for the WHL next year. So the question is: will they get with the times and open the door for him?
Personally doubt it happens but that's just a guess.

Bedard broke the exceptional barrier in the WHL, hopefully Gavin does too.
William Moore. He's a teammate of Misa and one of the top players in the GTHL as an underager.

Unless one of the NAX guys scores 10 or more points in the last regular season game tomorrow, then Gavin McKenna finishes the regular season leading the CSSHL with 65 pts in 35 games as a 14 year old. Thats pretty exciting to see

Even more impressive when you consider he was 13 until late December.
People also need to say he is from Yukon, nobody says that a guy is from the British Columbia or from the Ontario.
There is no "the" in front of Yukon.
No, you can use 'The' if you want. In fact, that is the official way to refer to the region in territorial government materials, which includes travel and tourism.

Only thing I wonder about is Kosick's size. If he can grow a bit he'll be a legit prospect then.

Isn't really a whl player that jumps out as a similar type but get some Rantanen/Mantha similarities. Should definitely go 1st to Medicine Hat in a few weeks

Some of the photos they are using as press clippings are wild
One photo they used makes him look like he is 7 years old.

Not at all.
He’s a very good prospect, but probably around the same level as Berklry Catton last year.

No, not for the moment. Roobroeck far exceeded him in points during the WSI U15 and at the WSI U12 3 years ago. Kosick has a more impressive profile.
A name to remember for the top of the 2026 ranking as 3rd offensive canadian. Unless there is a big change.

I have McKenna over Kosick actually mostly due to Kosick being smaller but his offensive potential may be greater than the other 2 but I'd go with Roobroeck right now.

Did you see Roger McQueen last year? I thought it was 3 kids dressed in a suit pretending to be an adult!
I would contend that McKenna leading the U-18 league in scoring, while playing 4 months of the year as a 13 year old, is just as, if not more impressive than what Kosick did this year.
McKenna couldn't play in the U-15 league last year, so there is no way of knowing how he would've performed in that league in similar circumstances.

On the one hand, McKenna, overtaken by Roobroeck and who is far worse than Bedard U15.
On the other, Kosick, who does better than Bedard U14.
It remains very superficial as an analysis however I am obliged to estimate Kosick in front of McKenna.
