How about his teammate who put up 41-88 as a 16yo🫣🫣

most recent list of suitors has UND, Penn State, and Michigan as the front runners so far. doesn't mean BU isn't in on McKenna (every single school is probably in on him) but he is the biggest name out there. if the rumored number Penn State offered Martone is for real, I'd imagine they'd be offering similar or more for McKenna.

Ryder Ritchie is a hell of a consolation prize though. He currently leads the Memorial Cup in goals, tied in points lead. Son of former NHLer Byron Ritchie, dual citizen of Sweden and Canada. Won gold with Canada at 2023 Hlinka Gretzky and 2024 U18s, 2023 WHL rookie of the year. Wild drafted him 45th overall in 2024, missed 10 weeks of his draft season after a knee-on-knee. This season he went 29-32-61 in 53 games, and 9-9-18 in 18 playoff games to win the WHL Championship. He has 4 goals and 1 assist in 3 games at the Memorial Cup.

If you wanna see some of his stuff, Medicine Hat has a bye to the finals on Saturday night. Anyone can stream for free on Victory+, also probably on NHL Network.

I don't believe BU is in on McKenna, seems he's B1G bound. I believe we are at least in contact with other CHL players, don't know who, the timeline, or for what seasons. The majority of reported NIL numbers are wildly inflated - this holds true across all of the major college sports and hockey is no exception.
