Lovell Academy Blue 18U
Mason gives a junior team a positioning-based development case. His appeal is the possibility of starting saves from an organized location and maintaining visual attention through traffic, with a completed 18U record supporting the opportunity to test that approach.
Early squareness can reduce the adjustment needed at release. His described concentration through bodies and handling of the saved puck would be useful if they allow him to address a second threat without losing the original structure of his save.
His rank combines a positive youth season with a more defined positioning assessment. The projection depends on whether that organization survives reduced sightlines and faster changes of lane against older players.
The key evaluation is patience when traffic obscures the puck. A staff should watch whether he keeps his sightline and holds a usable position until the release, then locates the rebound before choosing the next movement.
His 2025–26 record with Lovell Academy Blue 18U lists 21 appearances, with a 2.04 goals-against average and a .933 save percentage.
