Commit : Alaska-Fairbanks
Nathan closed out the weekend in style as he found the back of the net 4 times in a 10-1 win. He does a great job of supporting pucks and being very good on the power play. He also possesses a good quick release, coupling all this together makes him a lethal threat for Aberdeen.
Clayton Cosentino - ‘00 Forward - Aberdeen Wings
Commit : Air Force
Clayton built on his good year in the final weekend, one of the best attributes of his game is how he plays in lanes so well all over the ice. Supporting pucks well in all three zones and being able to play off his teammates the correct way.
Owen DuBois - ‘02 Forward - Aberdeen Wings
Commit : N/A
Owen got a chance to get into the lineup this weekend and played very well for Aberdeen. Having three assists on the weekend and showcasing very well. Owen does a fantastic job of moving pucks on entries and then also working after kicking pucks to his teammates. He hunts pucks well and is a good piece for Aberdeen to have around going into the future.
Tyler Kostelecky - ‘01 Forward - Minot Minotauros
Commit : Arizona State
Tyler was able to find the back of the net this past weekend and did so off nice support at the net front. Tyler does a great job of finding open space and playing well away from the puck, his hockey IQ is higher then most and is a top notch skill to build on as he prepares for play at the division 1 level in the future.
Jay Buchholz - ‘00 Forward - Minot Minotauros
Commit : N/A
Jay and undersized forward found the back of the net this weekend and was able to showcase his good skating and ability to get pucks to the cage. He does a good job of moving his feet on rushes to try and create space and support for his teammates.
Keenan Rancier - ‘00 Goaltender - Minot Minotauros
Commit : Minnesota State
The backbone of Minot this year has had a very good year and tried to close things out against a good Aberdeen team this weekend. Although Keenan gave some up, his size and balance in the crease is hard to go unnoticed. A very calm and collected goalie who controls the game well, especially with his rebounds. Very bright future ahead for Keenan as he continues to develop his game.
