Congrats to Assistant Captain Easton Anello (UMass) on signing with Cape Breton of the QMJHL. Already a high-level player, but he’s only scratching the surface of what he’s capable of. With his work ethic and drive, he’s going to be something special. #NEPSAC2QMJHL

Two young players who made waves in prep tourneys:
'09 D Jack O'Dell of Andover scored GWG in win vs KUA on Sun. Strong skater can expect lots of calls from recruiters on 8/1
'10 F Carter Felt of Rivers scored hat trick vs. Northwood on Sat. and leads team in scoring. Competes

Not a fan of deciding championships via shootout
It happened in today's 16U Mass. title game
Jr. Eagles & River Rats played 1 scoreless OT, then went to shootout, won by Eagles
Both teams played their hearts out. Let them finish without a shootout
