What's the earliest a kid can go to the US developmental program? Is it the year they turn 16 or year they turn 17?

Member Tampa??? I think Florida is ready for college hockey. The Lightning have people excited about hockey, and I think it would be easy to recruit kids to the state.

Amazing though how 500 bucks under the table to a kid from Souris Manitoba has him on the next bus to the Calgary Hitmen. I'd love to see some exhibition games between the college teams and the CHLers. Michigan vs. Windsor at the new Joe, I'd watch that.

That Tonka team would have been unreal with him. Wow.

It was more of a joke that he's going to Denver and you should have been a loving influence to attend our favorite school. Question for ya. Did he not want to play for the USDT? Not try out? Kid is a great player and I'm sure he will score a few on us.

NCAA: "You can't talk to these kids until they are older." Major Junior/CHL: "HIGH FIVES FOR EVERYONE!!!!"

Cameron Rowe turns 18 on June 1, I'm going to assume then that he is ineligible for another year at the USDT. Tried to find if any USHL team has his draft rights, but I didn't have much luck. Ranked right now as the #4 North American goalie so a mid to later round pick I'd guess at this point.

That 16 year old Russian goalie would love Grand Forks.

It was.....played their last game this morning. Was on NHL network.

Consecutive shifts for Judd....no kidding. Now we are playing three lines.....

Jack Hughes just broke Ovi's record for total points at U-18 on an assist to a Cam York (Michigan) goal. Bobby Brink (DENVER) has a goal, I bet @Goon is proud....

I think I've counted three shifts today for Judd. Canada and the U.S. just throwing the top end guys at each other.

Didn't get a shot off their first three attempts.

Welp....U.S. loses in the shootout. Caufield didn't see the ice much at all.

This is the wrong thread but the U.S. defensemen have been terrible in this one.

Yeah. Now that its OT no way he will see the ice.

My goodness is Wisconsin getting a player in Cole Caufield.....talk about a kid who can flat out finish....kid always finds the soft spot in the zone and great hands in traffic. And he just tied Ovechkin for goals in a tournament.....

Not a lot of Judd so far against Russia in the semifinals. Been a lot of PP time for the U.S. so not much ice time for him.

Judd Caufield playing his best game of the U18 tournament today against Finland. Has been a force killing penalties and bringing the physicality. Just got stopped on a shorthanded breakaway, so still scoreless for the tournament.

Watched the first couple periods and although his linemate got a couple he was pretty quiet.

Thought we may get a chance to see Rowe today against Latvia at U18, but Knight is in the net. USA already locked into top seed so hopefully Judd gets a few more shifts today.

100% this^^^^^. Absofrickenlutely.

So Jeff Bowen and Jeff Panzer are out. Now what is Bubbs supposed to do?

Have not seen Judd on the ice against Russia today. Lots of the other Caufield and Hughes of course. Oh hey, there he is!

Would be a great guy to work with the forwards.
