Early transfer Rumors?

[SpartangsHockey]

Now that the season is over, we can all turn our attention to everyone's favorite part of HS hockey, the transfer portal. Does anyone know of any early transfers yet?

Not transfers but heard a few AA bantams from Mahtomedi will enroll at CDH in the fall.

Joey Cullen just posted a goodbye on social media. Wonder where he’s off to. NTDP maybe? Daddy’s team with the Force?

Gotta imagine after last night’s loss that Goldsworthy came to the immediate conclusion that he didn’t have enough recruits on his team this year, there just isn’t enough talent in the Tonka youth program, and he skipped the post-game press conference because he had to hit the road to recruit for next year’s Tonka High School squad right away before Eden Prairie gets to them first.

I would be really shocked if he didn't get invited to the NTDP, but I could also see him choosing to play in Fargo next year with Brooks and (probably) Wyatt with the force.

He is on the 2010 NTDP invite list. He also still shows up on Honeybaked 15O's roster in Michigan, they just defeated Little Creasers to win USA Hockey's Michigan District autobid to Nationals, so he could be heading back there for Nationals (looks like he got enough games in before coming back to Moorhead). Matt Cullen shows up as an assistant with that team.

Victoria Royals have his WHL rights. I have a feeling it will basically be his choice where he wants to go, no one is going to turn him down.

Sounds to me like the HTown goalie that left may be boomeranging back. Any truth to that?

Quite possible. He probably wasn't going to play much behind Francisco, so go to Honeybaked for a year and play 50 games instead of 20(?) at JV, and that is if you don't have to split games.

I could see this possibly becoming a norm for high end Bantams that are entering a stacked HS program where it may be a numbers game. Play JV/limited varsity time, or go play AAA and get 50-70 games. Come back a year later as a junior.

It’s only a legitimate option if you’ve got the dough though. Going Tier1 and billeting out in Detroit requires some serious coin.
