2022 D recruit Corson Ceulemans has my attention. He is 15 and playing for the Brooks Bandits (the Okotoks Oiler's big rival!) in the AJHL. He played in 2 games last Nov, 3 in Dec, getting no points, which in itself is impressive since he is playing against guys 2-5 yrs older than him, but he has played in the last 2 playoff games for the Bandits and had a 2 goal game last night. As a D. As a 15 yr old playing against 18-20 yr olds. He's 6-1 and 190. On his current team, the OHA Edmonton Prep, he is 13/16 for 29 pts in 30 games with 53 penalty minutes (he was 8/23 on the same team last year). He's the 7th leading scorer and the top scoring D. I'm thinking the Wayne Gretzky of D is on the way. At this point he is 4 years out, but one has to think when he's 18 he's coming, maybe 17 if his academics are ahead. His frame is college ready at 15.
I'm sure Wisko or someone else can explain the "call up" procedure" for the AJHL that will help me understand the sporadic playing for him. I wonder at what level he will play next season as a 16 yr old.....Elite Prospects has him down for the Bandits next season.
