Trying something new and definitely out of my comfort zone, but I like doing these. My first viewing of Jacob was at the 2023 U17 Five Nations Tournament, and I've been a big fan of his game since.

Today’s spotlight shines brightly on Sioux Fall Stampede Phase II pick in the 2025 USHL Draft on Niko Tournas. A team-leading 39 goals and 74 points for the Danbury Jr. Hat Tricks last year. A shot-volume king, Tournas’ 221 SOG were third-most in the NAHL. UNH commit.

Also a look at some of the Shattuck 18U players that might be in the USHL next year
Is Nolan Caffey this year's Ryker Lee? The 5'9", 181-lb forward was a beast for the Shattuck St. Mary's 18U team this season with 34 goals and 46 assists for 80 points. No. 3 pick in the USHL Phase II pick of the Des Moines Bucs. I made a highlight video:
Thanks for the kind words! Really appreciate it :)
