Thoreson joined the U.S. Under-17 Team this fall and committed to UND this week. Braceful said UND is getting a unique prospect who has a high ceiling.

"The sky is the limit," Braceful said. "He's 6-foot-4, 190 pounds, but he skates like he's 5-9, because he's light on his feet, he pivots and turns so well. He's not your typical big guy. When you see him, he jumps off the page right away because of the way he can skate and handle a puck at his size."

Cooper Simpson leading the USHL in scoring has not been talked enough about, including by me. He's really rounding out his game nicely in junior, which was one of the main objectives. Love it

Hopefully he can be a 15 goal guy for us next season.

Would imagine he will be taking Strinden’s #21, and most likely will be on the top power play unit as well.  He seems to be doing really well on the power play for Youngstown.

Schloss was very complimentary of Beck Thoreson in this week’s podcast. As of right now, the plan is for him to be here for his draft year which would mean he is pretty high end. Still a long way to go but he is definitely a valuable piece for the future.
