He's very very good, as good of a kid at his age as I've seen. Watched him twice this year and he was dominant in both games. Has vision, hands and he can totally wheel. Has good edgework, awesome jump and is really fast with the puck. I don't like projecting kids at this age because there are just so many factors that come into it but he's definitely one to watch for.

Eliteprospects.com hockey player profile of Rocco Pelosi, 2009-01-28 Sewell, NJ, USA USA. Most recently in the 15U AAA with Mount St. Charles Acad 15U AAA. Complete player biography and stats.
Next supertalent out of the US? is Cushing it on one of the best programs in the country.
Mount should win Nationals this year. No team comes close even Shattuck, but depends what kind of draw they get and if everyone is healthy and playing at full potential. They have only really struggled against Boston Jr Eagles this year which is another really well coached team by an ex-nhl player.
. Now not saying this is the case here - I’ve never seen him play- but I’ve been around a long time and see it all the time…Top guys bring it when it counts and WSI 15u is the biggest tournament these kids will do in their youth careers. Also they weren't all new players, 70% of that ECK team are the same kids he plays with every spring. It's much easier to put up points on a winter team when all of the offense is designed to revolve around you, especially the PP, so I disagree with your full season sample size.
A spring tournament is certainly not "when it counts". You are putting way too much stock into 5 games in the spring. Fitzhenry and Dicunzolo looked great but neither were even the top players on their SSM team this past year.
Cripps is great and showed he belongs in the conversation for top group in 09, although I was fanboying over Roscoe half the time but he isn’t there yet as a complete prospect.
I am fine with agreeing to disagree and what you are saying isnt wrong. Most of the top 09s were there. My point is that there is little stock put into a spring tournament. If NTDP was picked tomorrow Pelosi would still be a lock because they would put a lot more stock into an entire seasons work than a 5 game spring tournament.
I definitely agree that he is still a heavy favorite to make ntdp regardless if his performance this week was lackluster. Pelosi has always been a really good 2 way center that sets other players up and can do work on the defensive end. He had never been a pure goal scorer. On that fact alone you can see him putting up less goals but doing the little things better than everyone else.
