Mass Select Camp All-Stars
The Massachusetts Hockey Player Development Boys Festival wrapped up on Sunday at the New England Sports Center in Marlborough, Mass. with a trio of all-star games -- one each at the '99, '00, and '01 levels.
The all-star teams -- see below -- were selected from three days of play. And with the weekend done, there will be a further winnowing, with the players who will represent the Commonwealth at this summer's USA Hockey Player Development Camps (Amherst, NY) to be named shortly.
Until then, we can tell you who we thought were the top players in each age category. Please note that the players are not listed in any particular order. We'd give more detail, but it's April -- and it's opening day at Fenway Park.
'99:
In net, Keith Petruzzelli was the top goaltender, hands-down. CJ McKennitt, a sophomore at Dexter who will be transferring to St. Mark's, was unable to play in the all-star game due to strep throat, but impressed in the weekend's regular phase.
On D, Ben Mirageas, Jack Rathbone, Michael Callahan, Patrick Dawson, and Dante Vasconcellos were the five who stood out for us.
Up front, we thought the '99s were a little thin, but found eight players who were consistently noticeable: Marc McLaughlin, Matthew Quercia, Jerry Harding, Ethan Kimball, Domenic Malatesta, Craig Needham, Jack Nisbet, and Teddy Wooding.
'00:
In net, Matt Pasquale and Connor Hopkins were the standouts.
On the blue line, we liked the play of Antonio Andreozzi, Michael Higgins, James Davenport, PJ Garrett, John Murray, and James Perullo.
Up front, there were nine players that stood out for us: Matthew Gould, Kyle Madigan, Harrison Roy, Connor Sweeney, Wyatt Schlaht, Tristan Amonte, Thomas Kramer, Riley Hughes, and Thomas Lyons.
'01:
In goal, we liked Derek Mullahy, followed by W. Addison Lawrence.
On the blue line, Henry Thrun stood out for us, followed by Jacob Flynn. That's only two. However, Braden Doyle had to head back to Shattuck and missed the all-star game. He's a shoe-in. So that makes three. (Note: St. Mark's D Colby Bailey, who suffered a shoulder injury in February, was unable to take part in the camp.)
Up front, we felt there were ten players who stood out from the rest. They were: Matt Boldy, John Cronin, Wesley Gierkink, Robert Griffin, Patrick Moynihan, Liam Devlin, Sean Farrell, Robert Lapsley, Conor Lovett, and Jack Sloan.

‘02s and ‘03s at the TPE Spring Showcase
The First Annual Total Pro Evaluation Spring Showcase, held this past weekend at Merrimack College, featured most of the top ‘02s, ‘03s, and ‘04s in the Northeast.
|
The tournament, run by Boston Bruins amateur scout Scott Fitzgerald, was compact, with four teams at both the ’02 and ’03 levels, and two teams at the ’04 levels.
The level of play was very high. There were no players who looked the least bit out of place. The tempo of the games was high, and the refs just let them play. Each team had one pro scout and one prep coach behind the bench.
Among the prep coaches were Shawn McEachern (Rivers), Jeremiah McCarthy (Belmont Hill), Dave Ries (Brooks), Rob Gagnon (Cushing), Paul Tortorella (Andover), Ryan Bailey (Hoosac), and Larry Cockerill (Governor’s). Pro scouts included Frank Golden (Pittsburgh), Jim Vesey (Toronto), Neil Shea (Colorado), Bob Crocker (LA), Mike Addesa (Vancouver), and Eric Soltys (Calgary).
Boston College head coach Jerry York took time away from preparing for the Eagles’ preparation for the Frozen Four to stop in on Saturday with his wife Bobbie. On Sunday, Boston University head coach David Quinn could be seen taking in the action.
A number of prep coaches were on hand as well.
The tournament featured two skill development sessions, one on Friday night and another on Saturday morning. Afterward, seminars for the players were held at the Andover Country Club. In addition to prep, junior, and college coaches, Mike Boyle, Ryan Hardy, and Kent Hughes spoke on their particular areas of expertise.
Below, we have ranked the ‘02s and ‘03s who stood out for us. It’s a funny age, as the range of physical development is broad. We watched a little bit of the ‘04s, and there were some good ones out there. However, that’s too young for us. We’ll see them next year.
Anyway, here you go.
‘02s
Forwards:
1. Aidan Cobb, #14 Red, Westchester Express – Strong skater, strong physically, and strong on puck. Consistently noticeable every time he set foot on the ice. Can’t imagine that there’s a single prep school in New England that wouldn’t love to have him.
2. Andrey Bakhanov, #17 Navy, Moscow Dynamo – Terrific size and strong individual skills, but needs coaching. Shot to pass ratio skewed heavily toward the former. Physically developed. Looked like Evgeni Malkin out there. Doesn’t speak English.
3. William Rinaldi, #8 Light Blue, Minuteman Flames – Really good skater; strong on puck. Power forward type. Works hard; wins battles.
4. Matt Beniers, #11 Red, South Shore Kings – Very smart, clever playmaking center. November ’02 birthdate will be 8th grader. Older brother, Bobby, plays at Milton.
5. Jason Siedem, #10 Navy, NJ Junior Devils – A crafty playmaker. Really savvy.
6. Brett Berard, #15 Red, South Shore Kings – Another excellent playmaker. Will be more of a consistent factor as he gets older and stronger.
7. Cam Lowe, #11 Light Blue, Boston Advantage – Small, quick, shifty centerman makes plays consistently. Hurt most of this past season.
8. Anthony Cipollone, #11 Navy, Westchester Express – Quick and clever. Younger brother of Loomis sophomore F Joey Cipollone. They committed to UVM together.
9. Philip Tresca, #12 Navy, Boston Junior Eagles – Good skater made some nice plays. Small, and lacks strength.
10. Ben Steeves, #11 Grey, NH Avalanche – Showed a strong sense of the game. Younger brother of Alex and Matthew Steeves, Notre Dame recruits currently in USHL.
11. Hunter Rossi, #9 Light Blue, Mid-Fairfield Junior Rangers – Strong skater gets in fast on forecheck. Competes hard.
12. Zach Tonelli, #10 Red, Westchester Express – Son of former NY Islander star. Has brother playing at Taft.
13. Jake Hewitt, #17 Grey, Minuteman Flames – Very good skater. A quick, scrappy type. Plays with jam. Will be with the South Shore Kings starting this fall.
14. Van Bouthillier, #12 Grey, Boston Advantage ’01 – Good size and strength enabled him to play up this season.
15. Max Andrade, #17 Light Blue, Boston Bandits – Size and strength gives him power forward potential. Raw. Skating will improve. Works hard.
16. Ryan McGuire, #8 Navy, Mid-Fairfield Junior Rangers – Small forward is a good skater who showed smarts in all three zones. Son of former coach and current TV analyst Pierre McGuire. Going to Belmont Hill.
Defensemen:

2. Timothy Lovell, #7 Grey, Boston Advantage – His skills are top shelf. Smart. Great stick. Really fun to watch. However, he is tiny and can be pushed around. If he grows he could be a David Warsofsky type. Son of former Maine F Tim Lovell. Left shot.
3. Jack Mroczka, #5 Light Blue, Mid-Fairfield Junior Rangers – Strong and physically gifted, but a bit raw. Smart. A good skater with puck-carrying skills. Strong. A physical presence. Left shot.
4. Ryan MacDermott, #2 Light Blue, Bay State Breakers – High upside. Very athletic. Didn’t stand out as much as we expected, but this was a strong group. Will be a 9th grader at St. Seb’s. Right shot.
5. Tucker Hartmann, #2 Red, South Shore Kings – Has excellent offensive skills. A mobile puck mover who can push the tempo. Willing to take chances. Will be a 9th grader at St. Mark’s. Right shot.
6. David Ma, #2 Grey, Mid-Fairfield Junior Rangers – Did a nice job finding teammates with his passes. Very poised. Aware. Sound in all aspects. Left shot.
7. William Mair, #5 Grey, Minuteman Flames – Not flashy. Makes good short passes. Showed poise. Right shot.
8. Stephen Davis, #4 Grey, Boston Advantage U14 – Big kid skates well for his size. Right shot.
9. Ian Moore, #7 Red, Minuteman Flames U14 – Has good size, and a head for the game. Right shot.
10. Kyle Furey, #5 Navy, Islanders Hockey Club – Smart player. Good puck mover. Kept his passes short and tape to tape.
11. Scott Morrow, #4 Navy, Mid-Fairfield Junior Rangers – Son of former UNH F Scott Morrow. Going to Shattuck-St. Mary’s. Right shot.
12. Bayard Hall, #3 Navy, NJ Junior Devils – Has size, a good shot, puck skills, and good feet. Solid player. Right shot.
Goaltenders:
1. Drew Commesso, #1 Light Blue, Bay State Breakers – The clear #1 here. He’s already well over six feet, so he fits that profile. He’s athletic and controls rebounds extremely well. He looks to be this year’s version of Spencer Knight (Avon).
-- Behind Commesso, we liked Connor Bradford (#31 Red, Boston Advantage) and Joe Schaul (#31 Light Blue, Top Gun).
