Syracuse
Warren Hill (Iroquois Nationals): Coach Desko may have found himself a goalie in 2015. Hill is transferring to Syracuse in the fall and showed the world this past week how talented he is. Hill, who idolizes Team USA Goalie Jesse Schwartzman, had the save percentage higher than that of his idol. Brett Bucktooth went as far as to say that Hill is the best goaltender in the world. It would appear as if Hill is going to be strongly considered for the starting goalie position at Syracuse.

Randy Staats (Iroquois Nationals): In two consecutive possessions for the Iroquois in their loss to Canada earlier in the tournament, Staats scored two of the better looking goals in the tournament. After stinging the top-right corner on the first goal, he then hit the upper 90 on the left side for his second straight goal. Staats has a knack for finishing, as evidenced by his hat trick in the bronze match against Australia. He is a player whose name one should expect to hear more of this upcoming season.

Drew Jenkins (Bermuda): Jenkins proved his versatility with Bermuda as he faced off, played offense, and defense. He was even top-center on man up for Bermuda. Jenkins had the most groundballs in the whole tournament, 95, and it was not even close. The next highest total was 69 or over 3.5 fewer per game.

Interesting note on Jenkins, I thought he played very well down the stretch for SU this year despite the obvious size disparity. I have been critical of him at times expecially last year when he was quite brutal but he had a pretty good Senior year.
