Alex Young
Intangibles – We feel Alex is player who NHL teams will be very interested in after a few years at Colgate. He can make plays at top speed and has real offensive talent. The question is, will a team use a late round pick this year or wait to be a free agent bidder in 2022?

Kamloops Blazers NHL Prospects
It’s easy to see why Connor is such a highly touted National Hockey League prospect. He is obviously skilled and has a great stride, but we feel his brain is what sets him apart. He has no panic button and can slow the play down or speed it up when necessary. He reads defender’s gaps very well and his graceful change of speeds keeps the defenders off balance.
