Ryan Kennedy of The Hockey News scouted the All American Hockey Prospects game in Buffalo last week and four Michigan players/commits were among his top 20 performers at the game. Michigan commits F Philippe Lapointe and D Jacob Semik also played in the contest in addition to the following four, who Kennedy recapped.
Quinn Hughes, D, University of Michigan (Big Ten) – Another young freshman about to kick off his NCAA career, Hughes was buzzing all night. His ability to control the play and keep the puck on his stick for long periods makes this rush-happy blueliner a deadly weapon.
Bode Wilde, D, U.S. NTDP (USHL) – One of the top blueliners available this year, Wilde is a big, strong kid with nice offensive instincts and the ability to make plays in his own zone. Sometimes his decision-making is shaky, but the tools are all there. Wilde is a Michigan commit and yes, he is named after skier Bode Miller.
Mattias Samuelsson, D, U.S. NTDP (USHL) – The son of ex-NHLer Kjell Samuelsson, Mattias definitely has his father’s reach and he really pursues his man on the puck. He’s a Michigan commit.
Jack Randl, LW, Omaha Lancers (USHL) – A smart and skilled player, Randl had three points on the night, leading all skaters. He’s a Michigan commit.
