Potential 23-24 USNTDP U17 team

I’m a real big fan of Cole McKinney.

Jack Murtaugh and Asher Barnett are interesting also.

Completely forgot about McKinney. He is the real deal.

Masun Fleece is probably the biggest 'name' not here. He had some early hype last season but you didn't hear as much about him this season. Stats aren't everything but not surprising as his stats this season are not that impressive.

You think he goes to Vancouver? Probably the best place for him unless he wants to stay on his current path.

No idea. I imagine he might stay at Shattuck next season given his production this season. If he wants to go to the USHL we'll probably see him sign a tender soon, though.

Signed a tender with the Fargo Force today.

Signed a tender with the Fargo Force today.

So that makes 6 tenders so far...

Masun Fleece - Fargo
Liam Kilfoil - Dubuque
Cam Aucoin - Muskegon
Sascha Boumedienne - Youngstown
Zach Morin - Youngstown
Lev Katzin - Green Bay

Who else do we think tenders? Guessing Nic Whitehead probably, maybe Egan Beveridge?

Steel must be up to something, they're good for sniping someone from Canada with a tender or two

Yep, saw earlier. Not surprising he got snapped up quick.

With the exception of the Gulls and the Avalanche almost a complete absence of players from the Atlantic District - particularly Philadelphia and the South Jersey/Shore area (although the top players may now be playing elsewhere). Is that just the cyclical nature of things or are there other factors?

Philadelphia/South Jersey just doesn't produce elite hockey players on a consistent basis. Football, basketball, and baseball are just far bigger/more popular grassroots sports and the hockey culture isn't huge. The fact that the Flyers haven't won a Cup since 1975 doesn't help.
