What he brings to juniors

Raycroft gives a junior recruiter a prep prospect with substantial season involvement. Movement and handling after contact supply a practical development argument for testing whether he can earn a recurring next-level assignment.

What translates

His available assessment identifies mobility and saved-puck control. For a club, their value is reaching a changed lane with enough balance to avoid leaving the next threat in a dangerous location.

USA Rank #9 · 2009

Why this placement

The rank credits the breadth of his prep responsibility and the usefulness of that technical starting point. A direct older-competition test is needed to establish how much junior work he can undertake.

Next development step

A staff should examine his arrival position before quick releases. Better definition of that balance, together with the direction of rebounds, would clarify whether his save habits can support regular junior use.

Competitive context

His 2025–26 record with Cushing Academy lists 33 appearances, with a .921 save percentage.
