USHR traveled to Foxboro, Mass. on the weekend of May 2-3 this weekend to check out the East Coast Prospects Evaluation Camp, put together by Scott Harlow and Vincent Montalbano. 

We went, primarily, to identify new faces in the crowd but, as a by-product of just being there, we were also watching players already familiar to us. A few stood out for us more than they had during the regular season, and we mention them below as well.

We chose to focus primarily on the U16 and U20 divisions, but we did get to see the U14 division as well.

Note:

Each player at the camp is provided with an overall analysis of their individual game.    Each player participated in two practices, three games, and an off-ice workout. At the end of the weekend they all walked out with a scouting report written by an NHL scout that assessed all facets of their game. The practices were run by New England Div. I assistant coaches, the games were coached by NHL scouts, and the workout portion was run by Brian McDonough of Edge Performance System at Foxboro Sports Center.

Before we get to the U16 and U20 divisions, we wanted to mention a U14 player who stood out for us. Late ’02 forward Declan Lovett  (#16 Team Red), the younger brother of Conor Lovett, who we wrote about in last year’s Prep Cup, is an excellent skater and possesses a very high IQ. Merely 12 years old, Lovett, from the South Shore Kings organization, is not a kid who is dominating because of his size and strength. In fact, he was one of the smaller players on the ice, where he made plays every shift, utilizing his teammates well, and manipulating defenders with ease. We expect to see a lot of good things from him in the years ahead.

U16:

Everett Wardle, #29 Team Gold, ’99, F, 5-8/145 – A skilled forward from the PAL Jr. Islanders who can really shoot the puck, Wardle was creative off the rush and on his zone entries. Has a silky smooth stride and a great pair of hands. Dodges in and out of traffic without breaking stride. 

Nicholas Ioannou, #20 Team Blue, Late ’99, D, 5-9/190 – A highly-skilled, smooth-skating, offensive defenseman from the Florida Alliance U16s who knows how, and when, to best utilize his skill set. Understands when to join the rush, and when to move the puck to an open teammate. Also packs a heavy shot from the blue line. If he continues to grow he will turn into a fantastic prospect.

Hunter Brackett, #22 Team Blue, Late ’00, F, 5-9/155 – A smart two-way forward who knows how to win puck battles and how to finish around the net. Brackett, from the Junior Bruins, has enough speed in his game to be dangerous off the rush, but also has the hockey sense that allows him to create plays with little time and space.

Dante Goldner, #24 Team Blue, Late ’99, F, 6-0/185 – A solid forward who is willing to take the puck to the net. Goldner, from the NH Monarchs U16 team, has a knack for scoring goals in tight areas. Racked up a bunch of points in the two games this typist saw him in.

Adam Romano, #20 Team Gold, ’99, D, 5-9/175 – A big defenseman from the U18 Junior Rangers who possesses an equally big shot. Was the most polished two-way defenseman in this age group, and possibly the whole showcase. Keeps a good gap through the neutral zone, and can snap the puck around the rink.

U20:

Brendan White, #2 Team Black, F, ’98, 6-2/185 – Malden Catholic forward was noticeable nearly every shift he was on the ice.  Used his speed and long reach to keep defenders at bay. Was the most polished product in the tournament’s U20 Division.

Brett and Derek Mecrones¸# 6 and 7, Team Black, F, ’96, 5-8/160  – The twins remind this typist a lot of the Smith twins (Salisbury/Dubuque/Yale) in the sense that you can’t write up one without the other.  The Mecrones, from the Boston Junior Rangers, lack the high-end skills of the Smiths, but they certainly are fun to watch. They have a knack for finding each other all over the ice. Whether it is on a breakout, or a power play, the dynamic duo create havoc for defenders. They both play an honest, two-way game that will translate well to the junior ranks.

Conor Sullivan, #3 Team Black, F, ’97, 5-10/165  – A forward with good speed off the rush and patience with the puck. Allows the play to develop before making creative passes.  Looks to be a pass-first type of player with the ability to shoot the puck if needed. Plays in the Skipjacks organization.

Jabes Benedict, #15 Team Gold, D, ’97, 6-1/190 – A high-risk, high-reward, offensive defenseman from Nova Scotia. Loves to join, and sometimes lead, the rush. Has enough speed and skill with the puck to be effective in this role. Possibly a power play candidate, but needs to learn when to slow the game down to best utilize his skills. From the KES School (Nova Scotia).

Noah Strawn, #3 Team Gold, F, ’98, 5-10/165 -- The speedy forward from the Junior Bruins showed off an array of skills this weekend. His speed with the puck off the rush is tough for defenders to contain, and his willingness to drive to the net creates space for his line mates. Has a nice shot that he showed beating the goalie to the high glove side from above the circles. Will likely make his way onto a D-I roster as a bottom six forward who can win battles in the corners.

Evan Daddario, #9 Team Gold, F, ’98, 5-11/175 – The Belmont Hill forward showed very well here. His hockey sense and skating ability are his two most noticeable attributes. He isn’t overly flashy with the puck on his stick, but he knows how to create offense. 

Joe Verboys, #2 Team Red, F, ’97, 5-11/185 – Plays a gritty, hard-nosed style of hockey. Hard to play against over the entire 200 x 85 sheet, and has the skill to make plays. Will have to make it to the next level with a strong work ethic, but any team looking for a hard working role player should keep an eye on him. Plays for the Connecticut Junior Rangers U18 team.

There were a lot of players who have gotten a lot of attention from USHR over the past season. Just scan the rosters – some of which had wrong uniform numbers, by the way – and you’ll see quite a number of top players. Players not covered, due to the fact they have been written about enough in the ’14-15 season (and we don’t have more to add for now) included: Patrick Harper, Luke McInnis, John Leonard, Christopher Grando, Evan Wisocky, Ty Amonte, Monte Graham, Brendan Less, Jay O’Brien, Tommy Craft, Brian Scoville, Sean Keohan, Ethan DeStefani, Ben Thomas, Christopher Brown, Marc McLaughlin, Jayson Dobay, Jack Nisbet, Jack Rathbone, Mike Fahie, Adam Gaudette, Jordan Kaplan, Dominic Cormier, Trevor Cosgrove, Adam Karashik, Vladislav Dzhioshvili, Jonathan Barry, Chase Zieky, Sam Sternschein, Wade Novak, James Callahan, RJ Murphy, Charley Michalowski, Connor Sundquist, Andy Chugg, Jake Pappalardo, Joey Caffrey, Tyler Carangelo, Joe O’Connor, Al Washco, Matt Cousino, Tyce Thompson – and even more.

As mentioned above, there were 84 teams on hand, and we tried to work the schedule to see as many of the good ones as possible. One strong team we missed was the Boston Generals Draft team, which featured, among others, Bailey MacBurnie, Mike O’Leary, Lincoln Griffin, and Anthony Wyse.

Anyway, here are some players, mostly new, who caught our eye:

Forwards:

Wyllum Deveaux, #15 East Coast Kings Futures/Don Mills Flyers, 6-1/175, ’00 – Nova Scotia native may have been the most intriguing prospect all weekend. Forward made plays consistently, despite being one the youngest players in the tournament. Poised with the puck on his stick and creative in tight spaces, he made a number of great plays.  Doesn’t have the leg strength to create separation at this stage of his development, but when he gets a stronger lower body he will be dangerous. It should be noted that the East Coast Futures team, except for Deveaux, was made up entirely of ‘99s.

Marcus Dickerson, #22 Hockey Essentials White/Mississauga Steelheads (OHL), 5-10/195, ’98 – A force every time he was on the ice.  Strong, powerful skater with a desire to make plays. His physicality made it difficult for defenders – even the bigger ones -- to handle him. New Jersey native formerly played for Selects Academy U16 and U18 teams.

CJ Dodero, #11 Boston Generals Elite/Wichita Falls (NAHL), 6-2/175, late ’97 – Dodero has played the past three seasons for the Colorado Thunderbirds (T1EHL). He has size, and plays the game with pace and energy and vision. In the game we saw him in, he made several precision passes through the neutral zone, on the power play, and again coming out of his zone and springing a teammate for a breakaway bid.

Jack Badini, #24 Hockey Essentials White/Lincoln Stars (USHL), 5-11/180, ’98 – Earned tournament MVP honors, and rightfully so, posting a 3-1-4 stat line in the playoffs. Can really shoot the puck, and seems to have added a burst of speed to his game since this fall. From Greenwich, Conn., he played in the Long Island Gulls organization before moving up to the USHL this past season.

Michael Muschitiello, #95 East Coast Kings Futures/ LI Gulls, 5-9/140, ’99 – A crafty forward who uses his quick feet and hands to make creative plays with the puck.  Is shifty and hard to contain off the rush, and he knows how to utilize his teammates to create chances. 

Owen Ramsay, #13 CHE  / St. Michael’s College (MPHL), 5-11/175,’98  -- St. Mike’s second-leading scorer last season despite being one of their younger players. Ramsay is smart, crafty and always around the puck. His speed will need to improve in order for him to be a force at the next level, but he creates a lot of offense and wins battles consistently all over the ice.

Justin Cole, #40 East Coast Kings 2015/ Vermont Academy, 6-3/190, ’97 – Cole showed well here. He has an excellent change of speed when the defender gaps up, using another gear to blow by. He has a quick wrist shot, smooth hands, and ability to separate from the defense. He’d be a long shot to get drafted in June but it’s not out of the question.

Lucas Michaud, #10 East Coast Kings 2015/ Portland Jr. Pirates, 6-0/205, ’97 – These kinds of events are not flattering for Michaud as he is not an open-ice, high-skill, flashy type who tends to stand out in these events. He’s a true power center, strong on his skates, strong on the puck, balanced, and willing to drop the shoulder and drive the net. He is a force along the boards, in the corner and in front of the net. A somewhat defensive-minded center, he should be drafted in June. Looked a step slow and a bit stiff here.

Grant Jozefek, #25 East Coast Kings 2016/ Lincoln Stars (USHL), 5-10/190, Late ’97 – Jozefek returned from the USHL after leading Lincoln in assists with 22 in 51 games and looked stronger and a step faster than when we saw him in the fall. He is poised, has excellent hockey sense and high distribution skills. His hands are quick yet smooth but at times he overexposes the puck.  Northeastern ’16 recruit.

Bryan Lemos, #27 East Coast Militia/Waterloo Blackhawks (USHL), 5-10/184, ’96 – Lemos, a former Junior Bruin, tested his talents in the USHL this past season with Youngstown and Waterloo and had a successful season, with 39 points in 59 games. Lemos has always had exceptional poise, vision, and creativity. That hasn’t changed. He looks a tad stronger now, and has improved his footwork. He’s smoother, faster, and more balanced than he was a year ago. He led the tournament in goals with seven in just three games. Could be at Providence College this fall.

Vinny DeSanctis, #9 EHG Black/Islanders U18, 5-10/170, ’00 – An exciting young prospect, a ’00 who plays beyond his years, DeSanctis is strong, fights through checks, and is able to keep his head up while rushing the puck up ice. He had a few end-to-end rushes that showed some speed and stickhandling ability.

Mike Gillespie, #14 EHG Orange/Lincoln Stars (USHL), 5-9/170, ’96 – The ex-NJ Rocket may have been the most dynamic player in the tournament (though he played defense for the game we saw). He has great speed and quickness, elusive hands, poise, and a quick release. He also has an uncanny ability to find teammates in the open ice. With the puck on his stick he was able to do whatever he wanted out there. He led Lincoln in points this past season and will be at at Ohio State this fall.

John Wojciechowski, #9 EHG Orange/NJ Rockets U18, 6-4/205, ’98 – Has imposing size, and an improved stride. He showed off his reach, his puck protection skills, and his play below the hash marks. He is raw and needs to be more assertive in the offensive zone, but his ceiling is quite high.

Erik Brown, #4 NE Leafs/Kemptville (CCHL), 6-2/195, Late ’95 – A big power forward who led the tournament in scoring with an 8-4-12 line in 10 games, Brown is tough to play against, is strong on the puck, and has excellent net-front presence. He is very effective along the boards and in 1v1 battles in tight areas. Likes to physically engage his opponents and drive the net. He led Kemptville in scoring this past season and should be an impact player at RIT next season.

Josh Laframboise, #2 NE Leafs/Salmon Arm (BCHL), 6-0/180, ’96 – Laframboise, a Regina, Saskatchewan native and Minnesota-Duluth commit, has good size, was constantly involved in the play and showed a quick and powerful snap shot. His skating is good for his size and he was second in the tournament in playoff scoring with a 2-4-6 line in five games.

Joey Kubachka, #17 Surrey Eagles Prospects/ Philadelphia Jr. Flyers U18, 6-1/195,’98 – Cornell ’17 recruit is a tall power forward who is still figuring out what kind of player he is going to be. He protects the puck well, uses his strength in 1v1 situations and has a long, powerful stride when he gets his feet going. A high-ceiling prospect.

Defensemen:

Adam Themar, #2 Team Connect/SVK U18 National Program, 6-3/202, ’97 – Slovakian skates well and makes an excellent first pass. It was tough to get a read on his overall game since we only saw his team’s first game of the tournament. ’97 was on Central’s Preliminary list, but this was the first we’d seen of him. He is interesting, and we’d like to see more.  

Cam Lee, #5 East Coast Kings 2015/Lincoln Stars (USHL), 6-0/180, ’97--- We hadn’t seen Lee since the USHL Atlantic Showcase in the fall. He looks stronger now, is more focused on his defensive game, and has maintained his elite skating ability and confidence with the puck. Former Cardigan Mountain and Northwood player from Nova Scotia was left off Central’s list. He’s undersized and has lapses in his own end too often. But he has skill.

Owen Schiffman, #24 Boston Knights/BC High, 6-3/185, ’98 – Schiffman played last season for BC High but in the shadows of star players Ryan Shea and Jason Dobay. He’s a tall, thin prospect whose skating and puck-handling abilities have improved. The right shot defender has upside and landed on QMJHL’s Central Scouting final list. Had one assist in 17 games for the Eagles.

Jason Bell, #4 NE Nordiques Blue/Saint John Seadogs (QMJHL), 6-2/185, ’97 – Another defenseman who made Central’s final list list was worth a viewing for the scouts on hand.  An offensive-minded defenseman from Texas, Bell likes to shoot the puck. Skates well but still needs to work on his play in his own end. Scouts are likely to feel strongly about him one way or another. Not a sure-fire draft pick this summer.

Andrew Noel, #6 Boston Generals Elite/Aberdeen Wings (NAHL), ’96 – An under-the-radar prospect who showed terrific skating ability, agile feet, and smooth stride. He makes a swift pass on the go and shows ability to gap up. Won’t cede the blue line to opposing forwards. 

Azan Dorsett, #7 NE Nordiques White/Buffalo Regals U16, 5-8/165, Late ’98 – The diminutive defenseman may have been the best skater in the tournament. His stride is long and powerful for such a small player. He uses his skating ability on both sides of the puck very well.  Will be an impact player at the next level regardless of his size.

Bryan Nelson, #3 East Coast Militia Elite/Walpole Express (EHL) , 6-4/215, ’96 – A 3^rd round draft pick by Muskegon in this year’s USHL Phase II Draft, Nelson looked the part here. A Harvard ’16 recruit, Nelson is a big, versatile defender who showed a wide range of skills in just one game we saw. He backchecks with authority, plays a physical style, skates fluidly for his size, and makes a crisp and accurate pass. Former St. John’s-Sherewsbury standout should be able to find a role in Muskegon in the upcoming season.

Zach Berzolla, #72 Hockey Essentials Black/NJ Titans U18, 6-0/170, ’98 – A tough, sturdy stay-at-home defenseman who is tough to get around. He uses his body and his stick effectively on 1v1 situations and, although his edges need some work, he rarely gets beaten wide. ’16 Colorado College commit also played NJ high school hockey for Freehold Township.

McKay Flanagan, #18 NE Nordiques Blue/Gunnery, 6-1/208, ’97 – Flanagan, a candidate for the June HNL draft, is 6’1” with a thick build, soft hands, and decent skating ability. He is at his best on the powerplay where he has time to make plays from the point and fire his slap shot. His decision-making , which has been the knock on him all year, was poor at times here. He doesn’t do well when he is forced to make quick movements or quick decisions. 

Joey Gilbert, #7 NE Stallions/Framingham HS, ’98 – His height/weight wasn’t listed but he’s an undersized puck-moving defenseman who can really skate. He’s quick and agile, which allows him to get the puck out of his end with ease. He has the speed and fluidity to rush the puck on command. Moving from Framingham HS to BB&N.

Anthony Scarcella, #9 NE Leafs/Springfield (NAHL), 5-11/185, ’96 – One of the better uncommitted defensemen in the tournament, Scarsella is an excellent skater, athletic, has decent size, and competes at both ends of the ice. He is not overly dynamic with the puck but makes a good first pass, plays a physically without the puck and uses his mobility to keep tight gaps on opposing forwards. Played at St. Mary’s Prep (Michigan) before moving on to the Junior Blues this past season.

Jordan Tetreault, #16 East Coast Kings 2016/Amherst (Mass.) HS, 6-1/195, '98 - It is tough to make the jump from Mass HS hockey to this level but Tetreault has the size and skating ability to pull it off. His puckhandling ability needs work and you could see him try to do too much at times, but he has some raw tools to build off. An under-the-radar prospect to follow in years to come.

Goalies:

Patrik Virtanen, #35 East Coast Kings 2015 Draft/HIFK U20, 6-2/197, ’95 – Highly polished and technically sound.  Doesn’t waste energy when the puck is above the circles, and constantly checks his blind spots when the situation allows.  Made equally impressive saves moving from left to right, and from right to left.  Wasn’t beaten on a clean shot in either viewing.

Eric Green, #30 East Coast Kings Futures/NMH, 6-2/165, ’99 – Looked very strong in both viewings.  Connecticut native tracks the puck well with a quiet upper body while using his quick legs to execute proper saves.  Will be one to watch next year at Northfield-Mount Hermon. Was backup to Conor O’Brien this season.

Douglas Connor, #1 EHG Orange/PAL Islanders U18, 5-11/170, ’00 – A ’00 playing at this level of competition is nothing to sneeze at. Connor’s stat line may not impress but he made a lot of great stops, and showed athleticism and quickness post to post. Doesn’t give you much down low. Played for NJ Rockets U16.

Kaden Fulcher, #1 PHDG Blue/Hill Academy (Toronto) U16, 6-1/165, Late ’98 – A very precise goalie with compact movements. Uses his head to track the puck and looks comfortable in all situations.

Sean Cleary, #30 Boston Jr. Bruins/Victoria Grizzlies (BCHL), 6-3/185, Late ’95 – Cleary, a Cape Cod native who went out to Lake Forest Academy in Illinois to play prep hockey, moved on to the BCHL this past season. Didn’t have great numbers there, an .888 save percentage in 19 games, but played well here. Has a rare combination of size and quickness. He tracked the puck well, had some nice side-to-side pad saves and showed a quick glove hand on several occasions. Committed to UMass Lowell directly after the tournament, 

Max Prawdzik, #1 NE Leafs/Brooks School, 6-3/185, ’97-- Took the Leafs to the championship game and played well throughout the weekend. Prawdzik has size, is poised in net and swallowed up rebounds and loose pucks around the front of the net. He needs to work on his athleticism and reaction time, but with work he could develop into a solid D-I goalie. Going to the Trail Smoke Eaters (BCHL).
