In the U18 Five Nations tournament in Dmitrov, Russia, Team USA defeated the Czech Republic, 3-2, for a perfect 4-0 record and the tournament championship. 2014 recruit Jack Eichel’s assist gave him a team-leading seven points (3G, 4A) during the four games and 53 points in 33 U18s games. Fellow 2014 recruit Johnathan MacLeod (photo) finished with a goal and an assist and has six points (2G, 4A) this season.



The NTDP U17s also finished 4-0 in their Five Nations tournament in Sundvall, Sweden. 2015 recruit Charles McAvoy assisted on a goal in the 4-1 win over the host team finished the tournament tied for the best plus-minus with +6 for the four games.

Andrew Weiss of FutureConsiderations.ca tweeted that 2015 recruit Vasili Kolias (photo) “was a top performer this weekend for the Chicago Mission U18s at the HPHL Showcases.” He added that “Indiana (USHL) loses a lot of talent in the defense next season but Vasili Kolias ('97) will be huge in filling the holes.”
