Scouting Report – Noah Ellis
NOAH ELLIS He has played in some high level games for his age group, gone to National Camps and done well and even played Internationally at The Hilinka, but he has only played about 65 games heading into this season. This is a plus for us because he has shown rapid development in a short time and is obviously very athletic. We feel that by Christmas Noah will have taken a huge step and we are looking forward to our next viewing.

USHL – Waterloo Blackhawks NHL Prospects (12/6/19)
Xander has always been strong with in an excellent compete level and he continues to have soft hands around the net with a rocket of a shot when the opportunity arises. But where we are seeing the biggest improvement to his game is his skating. He appears to have a more explosive first step and he is now able to lose defenders while rolling off the wall on a cycle. He remains un-committed, but we feel he will have college coach’s eyes on him as we head into the new year because of his professional approach to the game, his combination of strength and high level of compete and his ability to play in every game situation.

Philip Tresca will make an NHL Scouting Staff look smart
Compete & Effort – We feel Philip has an unearned reputation for being easy to play against. We honestly think anyone who feels this way is not paying attention. When he started playing New England Prep hockey Philip was the smallest player on the ice every game (5’5″ 125lbs). He survived on his brain and did very well. Now he wins battles in the corners and in front of the net. He is willing to take a hit (or hits) to make a play. He competes his ass off and wants to win. He also as developed an “exploding shoulder” that he has begun to use on unsuspecting attackers.
Nolan Cunningham is a New England Prep Defenseman to keep an eye on
So how does a player like Nolan Cunningham end up on our New England Prep NHL Draft Watch List? Well, a little birdie thinks that he is a kid on the upswing. No, it wasn’t an agent. No, it wasn’t a college coach. It was a Neutral Zone scout who has spent some time in rinks who has an eye for late bloomers.
