Liam Pue is the main challenger but Schultz is the pretty clear cut #1 this year. Only unknown is if he gets exceptional status or not
F Maddox Schultz - Regina Pat Blues, SAAHL U15 (2028 Draft)

- Start date

We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
Thanks for the info, I’ve heard of Pue as well but wasn’t sure if he was a challenger for first overall.
Even if he doesn't make it (I think he will) I saw somewhere that because he received exceptional status to play in the SMAAAHL he will be able to play 34 games in the WHL next year. Does anyone know if this is true?

That doesn’t apply to the JPHL, right? So Liam pue couldn’t play 34 games next year?

I have no idea, I just know that Pue and Schultz are considered the best out west with neither clear cut ahead of the other

What’s the odds Schultz AND Pue get exceptional status?
Don’t believe there’s ever been 2 in the same year?

Nope, two have never gotten it same year, however:
3 applied for WHL in 2020, Brayden Yager, Riley Heidt and Connor Bedard, but only Bedard got it.
In 2023 - 2 applied in the OHL in William Moore and Ryan Roobroeck but neither made the cut.
Pue is good, but he has scored much less so far in a worse league and he is a winger. Schultz is clearly No. 1 in the class.
I believe they will both request it, but only Schultz will be granted it.
Idk bro Ik the stats but if u watch the tape it’s definitely a toss up

Was curious about him so I asked a friend who scouts for a provincial junior A team that was there watching other players in Calgary this weekend what he thought.
Elite skater with a heavy wrist shot. His game is more instinctive than intellectual, but the instincts are damn good

6-6-12 in 4GP, tied for the tournament lead in points, one of only 2 2010s in the tournament, making him one of the youngest players at the event.
EDIT: I did a more thorough check, and there are a total of 5 2010's in the tournament, 3 of whom are playing for Northern Alberta Xtreme. The others are F Teagen Bouchard, D Nolan Wolitski, G Karter Gibson, and D Thor Liffiton.

What is the deadline to request exceptional status? I saw somewhere that it's only until the 31st (today, in this case).
He's "hiding" the game about whether he'll ask, but I doubt he won't.

For those who have been following, how does Schultz compare to McDavid, Bedard, Tavares, Misa, Wright, Veleno in their 14-year seasons ?

It’s hard to know until he gets to junior, especially in a league so isolated from extra-provincial competition as the SMAAA18. @landy92mack29 seems to think that he was better than Heidt, Yager, Catton, and the other recent top Sask players at the same age
