How does that even happen did he have a bad tryout?
Didn’t sound like it. I chalk it up as a mistake maybe?! Good kid. Talented. Good family.

How does the top 10 look for his draft?
This looks like the handy work of Kloczko’s dad. Always trying to promote his kid beyond his ability. Average player on a AA team. Johnson legit.There are a couple kids from the Everett team that are really good The big kid #6 Brendan Johnson and #23 Tanner Kloczko.
Who wants to be a bargaining chip for their younger brother? But I bet their parents couldn't be happier knowing their kids will be playing together in either WHL or NCAA. The Ice and Pats made a trade that benefits the whole WHL.Winnipeg is taking Savoie 100%
They just acquired his brother's rights
I hope so. But I don't see Mateychuk getting past Brandon at 6. Elite D, late birthday and Manitoba kid might make him hard to pass up.Kamloops picking 7th, you'd think they'd eye a defenseman. Maybe someone like Mateychuk or Lindgren.
Lots of good kids got missed....I believe it was a bit of both.
Doubtful this year. One issue is , most will not sign even if drafted, too many other options, and parents like to be close by. Of all the top 03 California players drafted last year only 1 signed and he was duel citizen. The 2 drafted are heading to USA U17 team. The California teams not not do well in Tournaments, But the other test is this weekend in Irvine at the WHL Combine.Any players from California to look out for?
Johnson yes, Klockzo not so much.There are a couple kids from the Everett team that are really good The big kid #6 Brendan Johnson and #23 Tanner Kloczko.

Just joined this board. Very interesting comments . Lots of insight on what's going on here in BC and the watering down that is taking place in the ever growing money grab of "selling the dream" . Been watching the U 16 here all weekend and see quite a drop off between top players and also paids...and that drop off comes early into the line ups.Derek J is short for TK’d daddy
Do you think that will make Glover a first rounder? Hometown kid, 6'0", and arguably the fastest skater in MB.Wheat Kings hope to cash in by having 4 of the first 22 picks made in 2019 bantam draft.
Thanks. Interesting. Not necessarily the kids in the top of the scoring you may expect.
As expected it was good competition there but with 11 fwds playing 20 min run time games, each fwd only got 3 shifts per period. The ones playing Center were out more as they mostly went 3 Centers and 4 sets of wingers. Hard to get any flow into the game and players that went more individualistic were rewarded. I watched most games and most of the top end kids were still the best, regardless of points - they had all the possession, etc.Thanks. Interesting.

That's a lot of kids and running time? That's too bad. You would think they would want to get a good look at the top kids. They really should have 3 lines a team and play regular 20 min stop time periods for something they claim to be such a big event?? People make comments about the whole thing being a money grab.... this kind of reinforces that view point...As expected it was good competition there but with 11 fwds playing 20 min run time games, each fwd only got 3 shifts per period.

100% agree. Best part of these events is the chance the kids get to play with others they have always played against but not with. My son got to know a few kids where they have had their share of battles but laughed about it now. Also there was no combine tests which would have been more value than a practice. At U15 last year they had a combine test and they said it would be a good benchmark to compare last years test results with this years. Food was really good according to my son so that's how they can keep a 14 yr old happy! But sad to know that if you kid ends up on Team BC, parents will be in it for over $2,000 plus whatever the cost will be for the actual tournament.That's a lot of kids and running time?
