No good place to put this anymore, but EGF elementary schools did some fitness testing last week . . . my 10 year old daughter did 13 more pull-ups than Casey MIttlestadt.

Adam Valentini, projected mid-late 1st round pick in 2026, will play this season with Michigan. He was already committed but has decided to come in early. This is a very interesting move.

Bold move considering he probably needed another year of junior and going to the O to play for Kitchener would have been a good challenge for him

Yes very interesting for sure.
He had a good season for the Steel, but didn't exactly dominate.  Will be interesting to see how he acclimates to the NCAA game.
Can't imagine that he'd play a top 6 role for Mich this season.

Wow sucks for his junior club…they start in like a week. Michigan should be fun to watch this year.

Misa/Roobroeck didn't pan out so they are bringing him in early. Sucks to be Perron!

So does this mean Perron may end up being 4th line at some point.  I always thought he seemed checked out before the end of the year and I just dont see how the grass will be any greener for him in Michigan

He's not defensively reliable enough to be a 4th line type guy because we all know how tough he is. Guessing he's still slapped into a scoring role somehow, but I'd be lying if I said I wish him the best opportunities available haha.

Valentini going to Michigan this year makes me think that Eli McKamey is guaranteed to come in next year unless he has a rough year in the WHL. I know that him coming in next year has always been the plan. 

If we don’t bring him in early, someone else will.

Big Ten is a better fit for finesse in lieu of grit. Third line probably won't get shutdown matchups.

Michigan clearly recruited him while he was here, he was projected to them on this forum in like January.

Looking at Michigan's roster, they have 3 blue chips penciled in for top 6 (Hage, Horcoff, Valentini). Schifsky and Hughes are proven ~point per game scorers in college. Perron will need to beat out Spence and McKinney (among others) for a top 6 spot. Grass is not always greener exhibit for years to come.

EDIT: Hage, Horcoff, Schifsky and McKinney are all centers, so not likely all are top 6. Still not a lot of Top 6 and PP time available for him.

Does anyone know if Perron received major NIL or did he just want to play for them?

I'm sure he got something, but if Michigan went crazy on NIL with him, they'd be crazy. 
He didn't hit 20pts in either of his first two NCAA seasons and is a defensive liability.  That's not the type of player you drop heavy NIL for, but who knows.  :)

I heard between 20k-50k in that range. His type of style, not hustling and being terrible on defense and 5 on 5 in general will fit right in with Michigan. 


Perron is a very overrated player. Not just saying that because he left, his 5 on 5 play was truly abysmal at times this year.

No way he got high NIL money

Not to mention his spinning blind passes that worked 10% of the time, the other 90% they went the other way

USHL and CHL training camps start in about 10 days. I would be surprised if any CHL blue chips commit during the season. If that is the case, we could be waiting until next spring to get decisions from Carels, Preston, etc. 

If Carels waits until next spring, I like our chances with him. Especially if we lose Livanavage and Wiebe. He is somewhat local and his sister also plays hockey at Jamestown. 

It would be nice to add a couple of recruits before the season starts.

Anyone have any information on Freddie Schneider? I believe he just followed Bryn on instagram. He does not follow any other accounts related to college hockey teams.

:0:0

Would be a monster pickup.  Cmon Bryn, close it.  :)

Schneider is a quirky centerman, but he's got two bombshell wings that do the heavy lifting, and a propulsive back end that keeps the unit always in motion.  Very creative.
