2023 Notes |
---|
The Wings head into the annual prospects tournament boasting a top heavy lineup full of first round talent. Up front the offense will be lead by 1st round picks Nate Danielson, Marko Kasper, along with blue chippers' Cross Hanas, Carter Mazur, Amadeus Lombardi and hulking sniper Elmer Soderblom. Griffins contracted Riley Sawchuk, QMJHL scoring ace Alexandre Doucet and draftee Emmitt Finnie round out the organizational players, bolstered by camp tryouts Matyas Melovsky, Dean Loukus, Israel Mianscum, Nic Sima, and Jake Uberti. The defense isn't quite as sparkling but does have its own stars led by netminder Sebastien Cossa. He is backed up by 2020 pick Jan Bednar and tryout Lukas Matecha. On the Blueline a trio of high second round picks stand out in William Wallinder, Antti Tuomisto and Doug Gibson, along with 2022 pick Tnias Mathurin. Also in camp trying to get a look are tryout defenders Connor Punnett, Finn Harding, and Jackson Desouza. |
