He played early youth hockey in Nebraska (his dad coached the Lincoln Stars on 2 separate occasions), but he's been in Michigan for a few years. His dad is now a director with the TPH schools there.

Fleming has gotten a lot of the early hype, but some seem to believe that McGroarty could be better than Fleming.
He has 21 points in 6 games so far this season. Low level competition, but he's done well when he's went up against top competition, from all accounts.

From what I have seen - admittedly a ridiculously small amount to make this following conclusion - I massively prefer McGroarty to Fleming.

This Oakland team is very talented. I've watched about four games. He's looked pretty strong, but he certainly has some talent to play with.

That's correct. Starting this year in the state of Michigan, anybody eligible to play U15 has to play U15.

Thank you Elon!
Have watched 4 games this year and a few in years past. This kid continues to improve and has extremely high hockey IQ to go along with high end skills. Definitely a player to keep a watch on at this early stage.

My Lord that is one hell of a name.
He has G.O.A.T. with a Roar in the middle of it.

Saw him play live for the first time this past weekend. Checks off all the boxes. Going to be an elite player and already a shoe-in for one of the top draft positions in 2022. Between him, Savoie, and Wright, a team will be getting an elite forward in that draft.

I respectfully disagree my friend. Upper-end/elite guys establish themselves as top tier candidates by the time they are in the 15/16 year old season

I agree with both of you guys, 15 years old, anything can happen. Sean Day was a 'shoe-in' at that age as well. That said, like Sean was at 15 for the 98s, McGroarty currently has probably the best shot of basically any USA '04 of making it big time

John McFarland and Shane McColgan were the best 15 year olds in North America at that age. Things change - believe me
And 16 year old season sure you can start piecing things together, but nothings set it stone at all.
And this isn't the 2022's 16 year old season anyways
