With World Junior selection camps underway, Week 11 of the 2025-26 Prospect Tracker features a two-goal week from Brzustewicz and a three-point night from Greentree before both departed for camp, plus Sharpe snapping a five-game pointless streak with two assists. The following reports cover games played through the end of day Monday, December 15th.
Ontario Hockey League (OHL)
Henry Brzustewicz, London Knights, RH Defenseman (31st overall in 2025)
2025-26 Stats: 10 goals, 8 assists, minus-15, 37 PIM in 26 games played
Brzustewicz scored in both games he played this week before departing for Team USA’s World Junior Championship selection camp. He fired a one-timer from the high slot Thursday in a 4-3 loss to Niagara, then added a bar-down wrister from below the hash marks Friday in a 5-3 win over Saginaw. London went 1-2-0 on the week, dropping Saturday’s contest without him in the lineup. The six-foot-two blueliner has now tallied 10 goals in 26 games, and his offensive production should make him a strong candidate to earn a roster spot with the American squad.

Jan Chovan, Sudbury Wolves, Center/Right Wing (184th overall in 2025)
2025-26 Stats: 7 goals, 10 assists, minus-19, 2 PIM in 29 games played
Chovan scored a power-play goal on Sunday, beating the netminder top shelf glove side with a smooth wrister. The sixth-round pick has demonstrated exceptional discipline in his first North American season, taking just two penalties through 29 games. His responsible two-way play has also earned him a spot on Team Slovakia’s preliminary World Junior Championship roster, where he’s expected to make the final cut for the second consecutive year. Chovan could also be in line to wear a letter once again.
Carter George, Owen Sound Attack, Goalie (57th overall in 2024)
2025-26 Stats: 3.12 GAA, .899 SV%, 1 SO, 1 assist, 10 wins in 22 games played
George did not play for Owen Sound this week while attending Canada’s selection camp for the 2026 World Junior Championship. The second-round pick is considered a lock to make the team and projects as Canada’s starting netminder after posting a .899 save percentage through 22 games this season. In his absence, Owen Sound went 0-2-1 and fell to eighth place.
Liam Greentree, Windsor Spitfires, Right Wing (26th overall in 2024)
2025-26 Stats: 16 goals, 16 assists, plus-4, 29 PIM in 23 games played
Greentree had a productive night in his lone game with Windsor this week, tallying a goal and two assists while firing eight shots on goal in a 6-3 win over Peterborough. He then departed for Team Canada’s World Junior Championship selection camp, where reports have him skating on the third and fourth lines in practice as he battles for a roster spot. He’s also expected to get a look on their second power play unit. Meanwhile, Windsor dropped to fourth place, two points behind Flint.
Jimmy Lombardi, Flint Firebirds, Center (125th overall in 2025)
2025-26 Stats: 20 goals, 17 assists, plus-13, 36 PIM in 31 games played
Lombardi scored a goal and added an assist in Wednesday’s 9-1 rout of Guelph. His goal came after he positioned himself perfectly on the entry and finished with soft hands. He added another goal in Friday’s 4-1 victory over Kitchener before being held off the scoresheet in Saturday’s 3-2 loss to Sarnia. Despite the quiet game, he remains one of the OHL’s elite scorers. Lombardi ranks fifth in goals (20) and third in faceoff wins (342, 47%), showcasing his value as Flint’s top centerman.
Jared Woolley, London Knights, LH Defenseman (164th overall in 2024)
2025-26 Stats: 6 goals, 14 assists, plus-12, 34 PIM in 30 games played
Woolley recorded an assist in Thursday’s 4-3 loss to Niagara, carrying the puck on a zone entry before delivering a drop pass to the point. The physical defenseman continues to generate offensive chances despite going without a goal over the weekend, firing seven shots across three games this week. He still leads all London defensemen in both points (20) and plus-minus (plus-12). London sits in ninth place with a 17-12-3 record and is four points behind Kitchener for the top spot in their division.
Western Hockey League (WHL)
Will Sharpe, Kelowna Rockets, LH Defenseman (216th overall in 2025)
2025-26 Stats: 2 goals, 12 assists, plus-1, 10 PIM in 24 games played
Sharpe broke his five-game pointless streak with two assists on Wednesday in a 6-4 win against Swift Current. His first came on a speedy zone entry followed by a cross-crease pass, and the second on a brilliant shot-fake and feed on the game-winning goal. Kelowna went 2-1-0 on the week, dropping a 6-3 decision to Brandon before bouncing back with an 8-5 victory over Regina. Sharpe tallied another assist in the latter contest to finish the week with three helpers.

COLLEGE HOCKEY (NCAA)
Ryan Conmy, Boston College, Right Wing (182nd overall in 2023)
2025-26 Stats: 6 goals, 5 assists, plus-5, 6 PIM in 16 games played
Conmy and Boston College are on holiday break. The Eagles moved up one spot to No. 12 in the national rankings and will return to action Dec. 28 against Western Michigan and fellow Kings prospect Hampton Slukynsky.
Kristian Epperson, Univ. of Denver, Left Wing (88th overall in 2025)
2025-26 Stats: 5 goals, 3 assists, plus-3, 12 PIM in 19 games played
Epperson went pointless over the weekend as Denver split their series against St. Cloud State, winning 5-1 the first night before losing 4-3 the next. The freshman forward has seen reduced minutes the past three games, playing as Denver’s 13th forward, but will look to work his way back into a more prominent position in the lineup.
Caeden Herrington, Univ. of Vermont, RH Defenseman (120th overall in 2025)
2025-26 Stats: 1 goal, 4 assists, minus-8, 10 PIM in 15 games played
Herrington logged a season-high 21:01 of ice time on Saturday against Army, firing three shots on goal in a 3-0 loss. The Vermont native has now averaged 18:46 minutes per game this season, substantial minutes for a freshman defenseman. Vermont holds a record of 5-10-0 and sits 10th in Hockey East.
Brendan McMorrow, Univ. of Denver, Left Wing (196th overall in 2025)
2025-26 Stats: 2 goals, 5 assists, plus-6, 4 PIM in 17 games played
McMorrow recorded an assist on Friday against St. Cloud State, battling below the goal line to recover the puck before feeding his teammate in the slot for the opening goal. He logged his second-highest ice time of the season in that contest at 14:50, averaging 13:25 per game on the year. He went pointless in Denver’s second game before heading to Team USA’s World Junior Championship selection camp. Making the final roster would be a remarkable achievement for the seventh-round pick, who would have the opportunity to represent his country in his home state of Minnesota, where this year’s tournament will be held.
James Reeder, Univ. of Denver, Right Wing (198th overall in 2024)
2025-26 Stats: 4 goals, 10 assists, plus-11, 2 PIM in 19 games played
Reeder recorded an assist on Friday in the 5-1 victory over St. Cloud State, delivering a pass from the corner for the goal. Denver went 1-1-0 on the week and held sixth in the national rankings heading into the holiday break. The Pioneers return to action in the new year with a back-to-back series against Maine.
Hampton Slukynsky, Western Michigan Univ., Goalie (118th overall in 2023)
2025-26 Stats: 2.83 GAA, .887 SV%, 1 SO, 2 assists, 10 wins in 16 games played
Slukynsky and Western Michigan are on holiday break while holding seventh place in the national rankings. The Broncos’ next game will be Dec. 28 against Boston College and fellow Kings prospect Ryan Conmy, in a matchup of two top-15 teams.
Jack Sparkes, Clarkson Univ., RH Defenseman (180th overall in 2022)
2025-26 Stats: 0 goals, 1 assist, minus-1, 16 PIM in 17 games played
Clarkson played an exhibition match against the USNTDP and dominated 8-2, combining for 17 goals over their past three games. Sparkes remained in his depth role as the team’s seventh defenseman. Clarkson holds a 7-11-0 record and will look to avenge an earlier loss when they face RIT in their next game after the holiday break.
EUROPEAN LEAGUES
Vojtech Cihar, Czechia-HC Energie Karlovy Vary, Forward (59th overall in 2025)
2025-26 Stats: 4 goals, 4 assists, minus-2, 8 PIM in 27 games played
After missing time last week with illness, Cihar was not on the roster for Karlovy Vary this week as the World Junior Championship selection camps are underway. The second-round pick was named to Team Czechia’s preliminary roster and is expected to make the final cut.
Petteri Rimpinen, Liiga-Kiekko-Espoo, Goalie (152nd overall in 2025)
2025-26 Stats: 2.79 GAA, .894 SV%, 1 SO, 8 wins in 23 games played
Rimpinen bounced back from a difficult previous week with a strong performance, stopping 19 shots in a 3-1 victory over Hämeenlinna on Wednesday before making 30 saves in a 3-2 loss to the Pelicans. Kiekko-Espoo sits ninth in the Liiga standings. The Finnish netminder was named to Team Finland’s preliminary World Junior Championship roster and projects as their starting goaltender for the tournament.
