Kevin Wolf is from Langford and is playing up a level at Bantam A. he should develop into a stud to be dealt with in the future. Not many 96's can play defense at the Bantam A level and come back without a huge experience factor.
Ya Keegan Iverson I saw he play this summer he is really good. I heard he used to play up at a 93 lvl with he older bother Wes Iverson he quit he bantam team and went on to play varsity for Breck but when he played bantams he played a couple games and one tourney and was leading scorer

I'd say Reese Zmolek in Rochester rates as one of the best 96's. His old man doesn't let him play in the summer so he's a bit unknown to the summer crowd.

Iverson is by far the best 96, he played for a 93 aaa team, and did great. I would put him far ahead of anyone that is on the machine.

you took one too many shots to the head slapshot44.... the KI kid is good (and indeed better than several Machine players) but there are many other 96ers that come to mind before him. I saw plenty of triple A play last summer at the 96 level and your boastful best of claim has little merit.

The competition that they faced anything less than 15 goals a game is not really making much of a statement. [-(

I have played with Iverson, and all of the 96 machine players. Iverson is much bigger and stronger, and has just about as much skill as the 96 players. I cant name any players on the 96 machine that could play at the 93 aaa level, most of them are too small or dont have enouth strength. As players move into the bantam and high school level, size and strength plays an absolutely crucial role in a player's talent. I see Iverson becoming an absolute dominant force when he gets older, that is if he works hard. By the way, his older brother plays on breck high school and had a great game last night.

There is no doubt the Iverson kid will be a good player in the future, but I payed particular attention to this kid last summer because he was supposedly a great player. He could skate and deffinately had the size but when he skated against top kids his age, he did not stand out, sorry but this is the truth, now he may have developed over the winter and hats off to him if he has improved, time will tell.

Yep, he's taller than the average height player.
