Haven taken in multiple games across the event, McLaughlin has come away impressed with multiple players in different divisions.
Here are 11 players who have stood out:

“22 of 23 stops, positionally sound, held ice very well and made big saves when it mattered. Very solid game.”
Ethan Normore, D (2009-born)
“Has a rocket of a shot, was making nice passes, heads up play on defense and was always working hard. Picked up a goal and a helper in the win.”
Matthew Fournier, F (2008-born)
“Scored a goal scorer’s goal with a rocket top shelf, played hard all game, physical and worked hard on the backcheck.”
Owen Searle, F (2006-born)
“Dominated with his physical strength, drove hard to the net, buried two and almost tied the game late. Great game.”
Sam Hope, F (2006-born)
“Was all over the scoresheet in the win, controlled the puck exceptionally well, smart offensive decisions and worked hard in the defensive end as well.”
Michael Erskine, F (2009-born)
“Was creating offensive opportunities, digging hard all game, handling puck well.”
Phenwick MacLean, F (2009-born)
“Was dominant on the ice, played with maturity, lots of scoring opportunities, heads up passing and hard to play against.”
Jacob Plourde, G (2009-born)
“Was calm, and positionally sound all game. Did not give up second chances, made some big saves down the stretch to hold onto the win for his squad. Great game.”
Chaz Faucher, D (2009-born)
“Big, mobile, defensive d-man who uses his size very well, great breakout passes.”

Jase MacPherson, G (2009-born)
“Was stellar. Calm, composed and making big saves, seals down low, playing his posts very well and moves extremely well.”
