Any news about how - Samuel Duggan, Kieran Brown, Richard Krogh and some of the other talents have progressed so far this season?
Matt LaFrance seems to have put up a few points in the Swedish under 18 league too (one league down from Duggan I believe).
Anybody know how these guys have been given the chance to play in such good leagues?
Apparently Duggan was helped by Marcus Kristoffersson's connections in Sweden
Why haven't Scott Conway been on the Junior national teams? - I would say he Could be a possibility for the mens national team, like Jack Prince and Liam Stewart?
My knowledge about GB prospects is not very high, but who is Tyler Cooper? He plays for Shattuck st. Mary's U16, which is a strong youth development program. Is he as talented as some of the best GB prospects?
Hope you guys can tell more
Do the J18 & J20 national teams have some exhibitions match soon?
They're playing against Nottingham Lions next week (a 4th tier team they'll beat easily)
No roster info released yet though
Someone who have a bid for a possible J20 roster?
Please help ... Not sure i understand the new rule? Would my son who was born in sweden with both brittish and swedish citizenship be eligable for team GB?

What if his son plays winters in Sweden, but Summer leagues in England if those leagues exist? What about then?No
He played in Sweden as a Swedish passport holder for 2 years after age 10 therefore he's only eligible for Sweden.
If he did not hold a Swedish passport or played 2 consecutive seasons in GB, he would be eligible for GB.
Your only option for him to become eligible would be to pull him out of one of the worlds best junior programs and put him in GB for 2 years, which seems like a terrible idea. I don't even know if forfeiting your Swedish citizenship is enough but I could be wrong. Again, seems like a terrible idea that IIHF would have to consult you on if you were crazy enough to try
Nothing I know of, but that Elite has him in the highest and toughest U16 midget in western America.Any news on Kieran Brown for this year? Elite Prospects has him with Iowa Wild U16 this year but not seen anything to confirm this...
