EVENT MANITOBA 2024 U16 MALE POE SPRING SELECTION CAMP
The last number of years there has been at least one player who some might look at our lists and really wonder why we don’t have them higher. Tyden is probably the top candidate for that this year. The WAAAU15 league leader in scoring showed how his offensive mind translates up to U17 already. There is no question about his patience in motion with the puck to convert high-danger chances or slip passes on the PP through to the slot option from the right side. Without the puck, he targets soft ice in the home plate areas and is rarely ever at a standstill in order to escape and attack quickly. He’s a player who I find will need to work on finishing checks, establish inside position with a bit of physical push back, battle along the boards and spin off coverage, and come back more consistently defensively. I think because of his offensive potential he could go as high as the first round and I expect him to go higher than I land on him in the final ranking. All that to say, he’s been one of the most curious players for me this year and I thought he had a solid camp.
