Logan Neaton finished the BCHL playoffs with a 16-1 record, 94.0% save rate and a 1.46 GAA. Amazing stats.
I'm hoping people don't see those numbers and expect the same from him at this level when he gets here. That team in front of him is pretty amazing at PG.
Next up for the Spruce Kings is a date with the AJHL-champion Brooks Bandits in the Doyle Cup. With Brooks hosting this year’s National Junior A Championship, both teams are guaranteed entry into the year-end tournament.
It will be interesting to see how Prince George matches up against Brooks.
Not sure about you, but when I look up how the recruits did over a weekend, I don't usually pay much attention to how their team is doing in the standings. Apparently Brooks went 57-3 in the regular season, and 12-3 in the playoffs. I think that's a good example of how much more competitive the BCHL is compared to the AJHL.
Brooks completed the regular season with a record of 57-3, becoming the first team to ever record 57 wins, 114 points and setting a new league record with a 33-game win streak dating back to November 30th. The Bandits held an undefeated home record of 30-0, including 29-0 at the Centennial Regional Arena, setting another league record in a remarkable season.
Matt Brown second team had a super season

Of the 5 uncommitted players, it's tough to tell if they're still being recruited or just have no interest in college hockey?
