Mason Fleece seems to dominate everywhere he goes:

L.J. Mooney also seems kinda intriguing. Liam Kilfoli is a badass name and kid looks like a player. Not as sure what to make of Ryan Hedley but defiintely worth keeping an eye on.

Of the American kids for '25, I like Fleece the best, followed by Bracco and Mooney.

For '24 I'm a big fan of Eiserman. A brother of former Sens pick Shane Eiserman. He and James Hagens are the only names I recognized of the Americans committed to join NTDP in the fall.

Finland with a bit of another super team at WSI U14s. It's becoming tradition at that particular tournament: https://www.eliteprospects.com/leagu...tats/2021-2022

Top 4 scorers and 5 of the top 10. There is also another Jarventie. Not listed at this point but I would imagine it's another brother.

Oh and look, there's Fleece again. I've also noticed this William Moore ranked prominently a few places.
