Congratulations to the players. 16 drafted players is impressive and reflects brightly on Minnesota Hockey. The USHL clearly likes Minnesota players.

Looking at posts on the forum there were 15 94s selected two years ago and 12 95s selected last year. I see the number continuing to grow.

Which players might leave the MSHSL for the USHL?

As far as this age group goes, you can add 4 more that we know for sure will be leaving: Glover and Collins - NTDP and Iverson and Bittner - WHL

As far as this USHL group: I predict 5 guys will be gone before there senior year. Gershich, Walker, Norman, Zerban and Sauer
