[NZ Evaluations @NZ_BDL]

The Minnesota HP 15 Spring Festival featured some of the most important 2011-born evaluations of the spring.

Five #NeutralZone scouts were in attendance evaluating players competing for advancement to USA Hockey’s National Development Camp in Buffalo this July, while also tracking projections.

Only FOUR players earned an ‘A’ grade:
• Stephen Belde @ponyhockey @WHLHitmen
• Owen Ryan @Cadets_hockey #GoHitmenGo
• Donovan Klin @holyfamhockey @spokanechiefs
• Tate Bergeson @Spud_Hockey @PentictonVees

These are the players scouts, junior organizations and NCAA hockey coaches are studying years before most families realize how competitive the landscape has become.

Neutral Zone provides the scouting baseline inside #RinkNet — trusted by #NHL teams, #USHL and #CHL organizations, #NCAAhockey programs, and over 3,500 hockey decision-makers across North America.

If you want to understand:
🔹which players are separating,
🔹what traits translate,
🔹and how high-level hockey projection actually works…

this report matters.

Full Minnesota HP 15’s Spring Festival report now live on Neutral Zone. #NZEvaluations #StateofHockey

@MrKdub Full court shot and you drain it for the win

@sdskol1983 @_jason_777 Sure, but that wasn’t the point. I totally get why KOC didn’t want to feed brosmer to the wolves, but he certainly wasn’t concerned about Max playing well and creating a QB controversy
