Wilbur Posted April 4, 2024 Posted April 4, 2024 Having seen a number of pretty good players the past few days at Scheels Arena I'd have to say that Lukas Zajic from Shattuck St. Mary's has to be on a ton of radars. Effortless skater. Played on the same line today as TJ Hale from West Fargo. Others to note: A.J. Garcia, Victor Plante, Shaeffer Gordon-Carroll (Chicago Mission). Dain Gordon (Bishop Kearney, but is from Denver), Luke Carrithers (Sioux Falls Power, Maple Grove kid). Cooper Soller (Shattuck). Most of these kids were at the evaluation camp, but getting to see them live is just a treat. I'm just taken back by the skill and creativity. *Carrithers not in Fargo this week but saw the Power in West Fargo a few weeks back. 1 Quote

Wilbur Posted April 4, 2024 Posted April 4, 2024 I'd recommend anyone in the FM area with time to kill stop and watch these kids play. The games are only going to get better as the knockout session starts on Friday. Pool play ends today with most of the final 8 spots already secured. Quote

Expand The real amazing thing is that as high end as it is 15s is a quasi tier2 division... as the higher end 15s will be on their programs 16U team. But not always so you still end up with some super high-end kid who you'll hear and see in college and beyond in the future. It does kinda stink that SSM takes the MN slots every year, with at-large availability it would kinda make sense for them to be just granted a provision at large slot every year and allow for the other MN teams to compete more often. But then others would want the same and some other acade6would just fill SSM void in MN. These nationals truly are amazing experiences for the participants, spectators, and recruiting. Quote
