Neutral Zone made the trek to Hackensack for a great game between two of the country’s top U16 teams on Friday. It was a well-played game featuring a lot of the top prospects in the ’01 and ’00 birthyears. It ended up 5-3 Shattuck but the Av’s held a 2-0 lead early on and had the better part of play for about the first half of the game. While these players are ranked A-C, the rankings ONLY reflect how they played in this particular game and its relative to the competition. Meaning a “B-” in this group, is an “A” just about anywhere else.

Under rated player coming out of NMH. He has an excellent shot with a quick release. Powerful skater who is likely to get bigger and stronger in time. We’d like to see him distribute the puck better as he forces passes at times or misses them all together. He has a versatile game at this level where he can play for power or go wide on defenseman and get pucks to the net. College: Michigan State Grade: B
