Jackson Kyrkostas will be at West Kelowna next year. https://twitter.com/BCHLWarriors/sta...92139895463936 That surprises me a bit since he lives in NH, but Felix Caron lives in Quebec which although in Canada isn't near West Kelowna either.

Thanks to sezenack whose retweet I saw a minute before I saw West Kelowna's.

I am going to change JK from a 2023 arrival to 2024.

Edit: Sezenack commented that he was surprised that JK was going to the BCHL when he could play in the USHL, and added that this was also a good spot. I agree with that. I wonder if Coach Smith is steering recruits to western Canada. Perhaps he figures that there will be fewer scouts from other teams there than in the USHL trying to poach.


I don't think it has been posted before, but Ryan Shaw is also headed to the BCHL next year. Chris Heisenberg shows him going to Nanaimo.

It is also here https://bchl.ca/new-recruits.

There's definitely plenty of scouts in Canada looking at the BCHL, so I don't think that's why. It seems like we have a good relationship with the WK Warriors. Ardanaz & Evans last year, Caron & Hilditch this year. Maybe that played a role. Also possible that JK just would prefer to be guaranteed top 6 minutes in the BCHL whereas he'd really have to fight to get those in the USHL.

This isn't a case closed thing either. There's been plenty of players who have tendered in the BCHL who USHL teams can convince to play for them instead

I keep forgetting that Ardanaz and Evans played there since I didn't follow them during the season. It is interesting that we get mainly recruits from very good to great teams -- Ziliotto sticking out like a sore thumb.

# Known to have signed National Letter of Intent
[B]The years the recruits are listed as arriving at RPI are not necessarily accurate.[/B]
The dates on which some of the women are listed as committing on may be considerably after the actual dates.
I am assuming that Neutral Zone regards their Star ratings as public because they often tweet them with committals.

STRENGTHS according to Neutral Zone (NZ doesn't include them for women):
Aw=Awareness/IQ, Ch=Character/Leadership, GS=Goal Scoring Ability, Sk=Skating, Sp=Speed, SH=Stick Handling Skill,
St-Strength, To=Toughness, Vi=Vision/Passing
