Two current Wolverines who previously played on the Under-18 team have younger brothers relatives on the National Team Development Program’s 2009-2010 Under 18 team.  Neither younger brother player has committed to Michigan – Bryan Rust has committed to Notre Dame while Austin Czarnik is afaik currently uncommitted.  Note:  I was sloppy and screwed up – Austin and Robbie Czarnik are cousins, not brothers (thanks Chris!).   Oops!

Over 3500 images have been uploaded from the 7 days I spent at the U20 camp - 2009 USA Hockey National Junior Evaluation Camp images.

The top two scorers for the USA were Jordan Schroeder with 5g, 9a in 6 games:
 

and Danny Kristo with 7g, 5a in 6 games.:

For the Russians, the leading scorer was Vladimir Tarasenko (previous gallery) with 2g, 2a in 4 games followed by Sergey Ostapchuk with 2g, 1a in 4 games:

 In the mood for more pictures?  Some links:

• Adirondack Daily Enterprise - 8/17  (note the player identified as Czarnik is really Jordan Schroeder and the player identified as AJ Jenks is Kyle Palmieri – USA Hockey VERY ANNOYINGLY changed some numbers every freaking day, their photographer likely used the wrong day’s roster)
• Adirondack Daily Enterprise – 8/13
• Alex Clark – USA Hockey – 8/11 practice (Note links to earlier days were listed here)
• Alex Clark – USA Hockey – 8/11 game
• Alex Clark – USA Hockey – 8/12 game
• Alex Clark – USA Hockey – 8/14 practice
• Alex Clark – USA Hockey – 8/14 game
• Alex Clark – USA Hockey – 8/15
• Bruce Bennett – Getty Images - can’t provide direct link, but if you search on Bruce Bennett and choose Editorial and date range 8/14/2009-8/15/2009, he has 211 images from the camp
• Nancie Battaglia took the camp head shots & covered the 8/14 game, but I’m not sure where they are online and there were atleast a couple of others shooting during camp – if you have images online and would like me to link to them here – just email me.

Another blog post prompted by a list style article – another from The Hockey News on kids the writer can’t wait to see in the NHL.

2. Alexander Burmistrov (2010)
 

3. Carter Ashton (Tampa Bay)
4. Dmitri Kulikov (Florida)

and for the rest see the article.

Bob McKenzie/TSN surveyed 10 NHL scouts to come up with the following list:

Top two are both playing for Windsor this year – Taylor Hall and Cam Fowler (Fowler got the top D vote from 9 of the 10!):

At 3, they stayed in the OHL with Tyler Seguin, then at 4 – Kirill Kabanov (earlier blog gallery) and 5 – Brett Connolly:

At 6 – John McFarland

At 7 – Brandon Gormley and at 8 – Erik Gudbranson

At 9 – Vladimir Tarasenko

And at 10 – Mikael Granlund

Also mentioned in the article were Jack Campbell

and Evgeny Kuznetsov

Heavy on the OHL – wonder where those 10 scout?
