Wanted to give an update on my son's friend and former teammate on his HS team, Mason Jobst. If this kid isn't on UNH's radar he should be because if this kid continues to develop, some D1 team is going to have a heck of a playmaker on their team. Jobst is a 94 playing for the Indiana Ice U18 team this season, so far his stats are 10 goals, 10 assists, 2 short handed goals in 30 games. Last week in a tournament in Foxboro MA he had a six point weekend. On Thursday he got called up to the U17 USA developmental Team and played last night against the Indiana Ice. In a 6-2 loss he had a goal, PP assist, 4 SOG, was +1. Not bad for a 16 y/o against 19 and 20 y/o kids. Last Summer he was the top scorer in the U16 USA hockey Select Festival, here is his scouting report for that:
Mason Jobst (#10 Royal Blue Team) 5-7/145 -- 2G-9A-11 - Had a tremendous week. Outworked virtually everybody. Totally unafraid. Small kid who played big. Left nothing on the ice. All the clichés apply. And if we were picking an all-star team just based purely on play here, he'd be on it. Played Indiana high school hockey last year (Zionsville HS). This is a classic example of a kid making the most of an opportunity, and it's no surprise that his team made the playoff game. We'd never heard of this player before the festival; now we will never forget him. He has a choppy stride, which may work against him at higher levels. We're not betting against him, though. To much heart and desire.
Again I hope he comes up on UNH's radar, pure playmaker that can score and at 5-7 145 is not afraid to wallop someone 6-2 210.
