F Mason West - Edina High School, MN-HS (2025 Draft)

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Talked about as one of the best Minnesota High School players this year. 6’5 207 right shot forward. Leads Edina in points and goals this year. He’s a junior, so has another year of high school after this one. He’s one of the youngest players in the 2025 Draft. He’s being recruited to play football also. There’s been comparisons made to Anders Lee. I read an interview where he said he’s going to have to choose between the two sports eventually. Seems like hockey is his better sport and he likes it more, based on an interview I read. No college commitment yet, and that’s probably because he’s sifting through his options for both sports.

Listed 6’5.75 on the Central Scouting rankings.

Also cool that he’s getting some recognition (#50), even if it’s a weak list overall.

Seems like a guy who'd be able to get MAC offers in football and actually play, might be able to get low level B1G offers and be a backup or 3rd string. He'd be able to get offers from most B1G/NCHC/Hockey East schools in hockey. Pretty simple IMHO

I had the exact same calculus.

It seems close enough that he could choose football if he liked it more (not like he's McDavid in hockey and some walk on level guy in football), but it seems like his better chance at making a pro career out of a sport is with hockey, and even from an interview I read it seems like that's the lean.
