sorry i've been MIA, life got in the way- here's a news dump.
27 draft eligible D Levi Harper flips from MSU to Michigan, plays for Saginaw Spirit
Teddy Spitznagel (left Michigan to join Ottawa 67's mid-season) commits to CC for 2027
07 F Matthew Gard commits to MSU for 2027, plays for Seattle Thunderbirds
08 F Alessandro Di Iorio commits to BU for 2027, plays for Sarnia Sting. CBJ just took him in the 3rd round
the CHL Import Draft saw a few commits get taken:
LSSU- Mikhail Cherepanov (Kamloops), Marek Peroutka (Victoria)
BU- Andrei Nikolayev (Victoriaville)
BC- Timothy Kazda (Guelph)
Michigan Tech- Noel Pakarinen (Penticton)
this is the first year teams can take 16 year olds in the import draft, so some of the picks are 2010s and could commit later on. Pakarinen has already signed with Penticton
as expected, NTDP U18 leading scorer F Jamie Glance has signed with Saint John. He will join BU in 2027. He just missed the age cut for this draft, so he'll spend his draft season with the Sea Dogs. Parker Trottier signs with Regina, committed to Notre Dame.
some U17 defections: Broden McArthur (Minnesota) to Erie, Sam Wathier (BC) to Windsor
Other signings:
Michael Tang (Harvard) to Niagara
Jack Torr (UConn) to Brantford
Jake Stuart (DU) to Lethbridge, joining brother Logan- this is his NTDP+2 after a down year in USHL
Dane Sorensen (UMass) to Kelowna
Brock Cheslock (Augustana) to Tri-City
Carter Sanderson (NoDak) to Calgary
Cody Costello (UNH) to Oshawa
2028 Memorial Cup host finalists are Québec Remparts and Moncton Wildcats
another bit of Q news- in the next few days, all the teams will have US scouts besides VdO. there were a few still without but Victoriaville is announcing their US scout soon
also i have a few blog posts in the works including that list
in more sobering news, the unexpected shutdown of multiple Canadian radio stations by Rogers has some far reaching effects in junior hockey. Calgary and Vancouver are both losing their Sportsnet stations, so the Vancouver Giants and Calgary Hitmen will need to find new radio homes. Also needing new homes will be: Kitchener Rangers, Halifax Mooseheads. their city news stations are closing, along with two news-focused stations in Calgary and Vancouver.
