Some general thoughts from the U15 Eastern Hitmen vs M15E Montréal Nationals game I caught this afternoon:

- Max McCarthy is the real deal. Scored his team’s first 2 goals of the game and could’ve added a couple of more. A dominant performance against one of the better Québec M15E teams.

- Aaron Tellenbach, Ryan Browne, Kellan Sullivan and Max Steele all had great games for the Hitmen as well.

- I liked Drey Tibbo, Thomas Thibault and Andrea Arcaro for the Nationals.

A big win against Osprey in game 5 ends our provincial run in a second place tie with Icepak. Our goal differential wasn’t in our favour for a finals berth.
