Who are America's goalies next year ?

A bit early for this, I know, but none-the-less. Someone from college?? The CHL (??)...if there will even be any American goalies in the CHL next year, are there any there now ??? Or will there goalies be from 'The Program'. I know nothing about the '89's other then what I read on USAHockey.com....but it seems as though Josh Unice may have the inside track......is that accurate ??


Also, looking at the roster, it seems as though there are alot of big boys on the Under 18 team. Other then Van Riemsdyk and Kane, who are there potential 'phenoms' of the '89 Americans ???

 

Jeremy Smith, Unice, Kent Patterson and Brad Phillips would be four of the early favourites. I think Smith is probably the best of the bunch, I would put Unice third or fourth.

 

Jeremy Smith and Thomas McCollum should be given strong consideration. I imagine they'll be the two highest-rated American goalies for the next 2 drafts.

 

I would expect Joe Palmer to be in the mix.

 

6 that would probably get invites are jeremy smith, thomas mccollum, brad phillips, joe palmer, brett bennett, and matt digirolamo, who is playing well in the ushl and is an 88 birthyear.
