RD Chase Reid - Victory Honda, 15U AAA (2026 Draft)

[Corso]

Pretty heady praise from a well respected OHL scout.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Had 1+1 last night. Now 4 points in 5 games. It’s not some big surprise either. He was the best player for the USA at the non-NTDP tournament summer 2023. Better than players like Rombach, Kevan, Simpson. Somehow didn’t get a Hlinka camp invite the next summer. Crazy.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

2 assists tonight. Team gave up 10, so he might’ve been at fault for some goals, but he was one of the 3 stars of the game, so it couldn’t have went that bad for him. Has 6 points in 7 games so far with Soo. Second highest PPG of 2026 eligibles in the league. Only Roobroeck ahead, and Reid is doing so as a defenseman compared to Roo a forward. If you throw him in there with the 2025’s, only behind Schaefer and Cameron Reid (unrelated) for defenseman. Only 7 games, but yeah he’s good.

Yea and i saw Engle and Mcrate 2007 dmen - both on hlinka cup having tough year in ushl both traded yesterday . I think especially for dmen ushl favors 19-20 year olds which is common sense . not that many 2007 dmen doing great

It's a defensive league and USHL coaches approach it like the NCAA: defense heavy/structure, which lends itself to older veterans. Plus, the league is mostly a NCAA prep league, thus all of these guys coming out of MN HS, HS-Prep, AAA at 18 or 19 years old leads to a much older league than the CHL leagues, so Reid gets the shaft. Good to see him getting an extended run in the O

Truly incompetent by USAH that neither him or Nycz made the Hlinka roster. Reid didn’t even get invited to the camp.

Did they have some Connelly-like issues to cause it as Connelly had his 16 year old year with USAH when they suspended him from roster consideration?

i was saying mcrate and engle both 2007 made it - unknowns- just got traded in ushl after looks like difficult starts with their teams . how Henry bruczieski( spelled wrong ) of london didnt make it - who was battling first round picks up there and will go either late first to late second round is more baffling . zero accoutability

Yeah, it's truly wild none of those guys made it.

When you think of it, we could've had a very good blue line

Rombach-Fiddler
Nycz-Reid
Grimes-Brzustewicz

That would arguably be the best US blue line as long as I can remember the US icing at the Hlinka. So I think the players were there, but for some reason they picked all those bums you mention and didn't pick half of that blue line I mention. Crazy to me.
