Scouting Report: U14 Standouts from the EAK at Walpole
Over Labor Day weekend Neutral Zone scouts attended the Eastern Alliance Kickoff at Cadillac Ice Arena in Walpole, Massachusetts, with a focus on the 2011 age group. Using line charts and rosters available at the rink, our staff was able to closely evaluate players from the Woodbridge Wolfpack, Philadelphia Jr. Flyers, Boston Jr. Eagles and NJ Avalanche. Each report provides a baseline evaluation of individual skill sets, habits and on-ice impact to build a foundation for long-term tracking. As additional rosters from other participating teams become available, we will expand our U14 coverage and continue to add evaluations to our database.

Liberty Bell Prospects: Top 64
The Annual Liberty Bell games in Wayne, NJ, featured a Prospects Division with eight teams of players ranging from 2008 to 2010 birth years. Players were selected to participate by a terrific Liberty Bell Staff. Team Independence defeated William Penn in the Championship Game 3-1. Goalie Aidan Wright was named MVP. The event was USA Hockey-sanctioned and featured four officials, with goals and assists announced to music and played at a high level of hockey. The eight teams played each other three times, plus a playoff game on Sunday. In this report, we highlight 64 players who stood out in these four games only. Grades are based on others in this evaluation, and all did very well to make this report.
Note: Team Lincoln had jerseys with numbers that were difficult for our Scout to see, which is why we have only a few players from that team.
Star ratings and profiles have been updated where appropriate.
