RE: USNTDP invites - really interested in the two big NoDak commits, Jackson Kunz up front (#4 on NZ's list for forwardsbehind the established top trio of Stranges/Peterson/Smilanic) and Tyler Kleven on the blueline (#1 on NZ's list for defenders). Both are big, big boys who should be really hard to handle as they continue to grow and add strength. Can anybody comment on them firsthand? The Fighting Hawks also have defender Jake Sanderson high up on that list (#4 for defenders) - he's also already 6' and has the bloodlines as son of Geoff Sanderson.
To the camp, yes.
lol, line him up next to Hull, Deadmarsh, and Logan Brown!!Guess that makes him a Yank then. He's dead to me now lol.

everywhere I am seeing shows him from Maryland and born in the USA...interesting to know more on him, as he did spend time in Canada but I am not seeing him have any eligibility to play for Canada yet...So the deal with Halliday is that he's likely Canadian. Played most of his minor hockey in Oakville before moving to Maryland. I've seen him play roughly a dozen times. If he were eligible, he'd be a lock.
Well, my son played on Tyler Kleven's team in Termite.RE: USNTDP invites - really interested in the two big NoDak commits, Jackson Kunz up front (#4 on NZ's list for forwardsbehind the established top trio of Stranges/Peterson/Smilanic) and Tyler Kleven on the blueline (#1 on NZ's list for defenders).

Yeah it goes both ways, I would have loved the Foote's to choose America after growing up in Colorado, but it goes both ways, Canada loses some to America, and America loses some to Canada, just what happens when the countries have so much spillover especially when guys go to teams in the other country and stick around after.
well, of late Canada has gotten a lot of these kids - Chychrun, Nolan and Callan Foote, Akil Thomas, Tag Bertuzzi, etc..all of these kids either born in the US/ raised here or spent a good portion of their young life here....this back and forth battle is only going to get worse.As much as I hate it, it does make sense. These guys are drafted by teams and end up at 18 or 19 in another country where they continue to make their lives and pursue their hockey career. In my mind, it is unfortunate that the overwhelming number of professional teams are in the USA. It doesn't make for a level playing field. I do support the players on an individual basis however in deciding which country they favour playing for.
college or to the USNDP?Anybody know where i can find all the committed '02s?
Duel Dylan Robinson also not invited. I'm guessing he's also choosing the OHL route, as he's a top 30-35 OHL prospect. I'd be surprised if he weren't good enough for a camp invite.
Also, how do Jake Sanderson and Dylan Robinson qualify as an Americans?
I keep looking but haven't seen anything at all. Anyone know how long after the team becomes finalized usually?Any coverage of the camp?
