Week four of the 2025-26 Prospect Tracker featured first career goals from two prospects, alternate captain honors for London’s defensive duo, and Kings prospects squaring off against each other in multiple matchups across leagues. The following reports cover games played through the end of day Sunday, October 26th.
Ontario Hockey League (OHL)
Henry Brzustewicz, London Knights, RH Defenseman (31st overall in 2025)
2025-26 Stats: 4 goals, 3 assists, minus-3, 13 PIM in 10 games played
Brzustewicz was named an alternate captain this week and was on the ice for all three goals in London’s 3-0 victory over Sarnia on Sunday. Despite generating 10 shots across two games, the first-round pick went pointless on the weekend.
Jan Chovan, Sudbury Wolves, Center/Right Wing (184th overall in 2025)
2025-26 Stats: 3 goals, 2 assists, minus-9, 0 PIM in 11 games played
Chovan and Sudbury won back-to-back games for the first time this season over the weekend. The sixth-round pick had a goal and an assist in Friday’s 5-3 win over Barrie, then added another helper in Sunday’s 7-3 victory over Peterborough. He’s shown he can generate offense best when he establishes position in front of the blue paint, creating opportunities for tip-ins, rebound chances, and puck recoveries on missed shots.
Carter George, Owen Sound Attack, Goalie (57th overall in 2024)
2025-26 Stats: 2.82 GAA, .909 SV%, 1 SO, 1 assist, 5 wins in 9 games played
George faced fellow Kings prospect Liam Greentree and top-ranked Windsor in his lone start this weekend, stopping 24 shots in a 4-3 shootout loss on Friday. The netminder thwarted Greentree’s shootout attempt, but Owen Sound couldn’t convert in the skills competition against the OHL’s best team. George will face another Kings prospect next weekend when Owen Sound travels to Sudbury to play on Saturday.
Liam Greentree, Windsor Spitfires, Right Wing (26th overall in 2024)
2025-26 Stats: 6 goals, 6 assists, minus-1, 9 PIM in 8 games played
Greentree tallied four points in three games, two assists and two goals, as Windsor went 2-1 this week. He used his size and skill to protect the puck and draw defenders while finding passing lanes for both helpers Saturday, then had a 4-on-4 tip-in and a power play goal on Sunday. Greentree will face fellow Kings prospect Jimmy Lombardi and Flint on Sunday.
Jimmy Lombardi, Flint Firebirds, Center (125th overall in 2025)
2025-26 Stats: 4 goals, 10 assists, plus-6, 16 PIM in 11 games played
Lombardi entered the weekend without a goal this season and left with four, breaking through offensively after serving primarily as a passer through eight games. The fourth-round pick scored with variety (a top-shelf wrister, a one-timer, and two through traffic) while adding an assist, as Flint went 2-1 to improve to 7-4-1.

Jared Woolley, London Knights, LH Defenseman (164th overall in 2024)
2025-26 Stats: 5 goals, 6 assists, plus-4, 15 PIM in 10 games played
Woolley was also named an alternate captain for London this week and assisted on the overtime winner in Friday’s contest vs. Ottawa. He told reporters after the game, “You never want to go to overtime, but if you do have to go, you just have to put the work boots on and get it done.” Then, Sunday he scored the game-winning goal from the slot during London’s 3-0 win over Sarnia.
Western Hockey League (WHL)
Will Sharpe, Kelowna Rockets, LH Defenseman (216th overall in 2025)
2025-26 Stats: 2 goals, 6 assists, minus-2, 2 PIM in 9 games played
Sharpe assisted on the game-tying goal in Kelowna’s 4-3 overtime loss to Medicine Hat on Saturday, retrieving the puck from the corner and backhanding it toward the net. Kelowna also earned a shootout win over Victoria on Wednesday and now sit at 4-5-1-1 through 11 games.
COLLEGE HOCKEY (NCAA)
Ryan Conmy, Boston College, Right Wing (182nd overall in 2023)
2025-26 Stats: 2 goals, 0 assists, even plus-minus, 2 PIM in 5 games played
Conmy battled along the boards and put his stick on pucks during the forecheck in BC’s 7-5 loss to Denver, displaying the two-way play Kings coaches value in prospects. The 5-foot-10 winger consistently found soft spots in prime scoring areas and drove hard to the net. Yet Denver’s defense limited Conmy to just one shot on goal. Next up, he’ll look to notch his third power play goal of the season in this week’s back-to-back set against Northwestern, Thursday and Friday at 4 p.m. PT on ESPN+.
Kristian Epperson, Univ. of Denver, Left Wing (88th overall in 2025)
2025-26 Stats: 1 goal, 1 assist, plus-2, 4 PIM in 6 games played
Epperson netted his first career goal in Denver’s 7-5 victory over BC on Friday, taking the puck from the blue line and firing a wrister from the left circle, beating the goaltender five-hole. The unassisted tally showcased the third-round pick’s ability to create offense individually. Denver moved up one spot in the national rankings to No. 6.
Caeden Herrington, Univ. of Vermont, RH Defenseman (120th overall in 2025)
2025-26 Stats: 1 goal, 1 assist, minus-2, 4 PIM in 4 games played
Herrington and Vermont did not play this week. The Catamounts will return to action next weekend with a back-to-back series against New Hampshire.
Brendan McMorrow, Univ. of Denver, Left Wing (196th overall in 2025)
2025-26 Stats: 1 goal, 0 assists, plus-one, 0 PIM in 4 games played
Playing on the second line (as a freshman!), McMorrow scored his first career goal on his lone shot against BC on Friday. He settled the puck, took his time to find the angle, and released a quick wrister top shelf glove side. The seventh-round pick has also earned time on the first penalty kill unit in just his third and fourth collegiate games, an early vote of confidence from Coach David Carle in his two-way ability.
James Reeder, Univ. of Denver, Right Wing (198th overall in 2024)
2025-26 Stats: 0 goals, 1 assist, plus-one, 0 PIM in 6 games played
Reeder played in his 50th game for Denver in a 1-0 loss against Northeastern on Saturday, tallying 22 points over that span. The seventh-round pick has gotten off to a slow start offensively with just one point through six games, despite posting 16 shots and playing on the first power play unit. His ability to read plays and make smart passes should help him return to his near half point per game career pace. Carle and the Pios coaching staff are said to be very happy with Reeder’s performance thus far this season, even if he doesn’t always show up on the stats sheet.
Hampton Slukynsky, Western Michigan Univ., Goalie (118th overall in 2023)
2025-26 Stats: 2.20 GAA, .902 SV%, 1 SO, 4 wins in 6 games played
After a 3-0 loss in the series opener Thursday, Slukynsky bounced back with a 28-save performance as No. 2 Western Michigan defeated No. 3 Michigan 5-2 on Friday. The 6-foot-2 netminder used his size and positioning against the nation’s top-ranked offense to earn third star honors, while his brother Grant claimed first star with two goals. WMU dropped to No. 3 in this week’s rankings, leapfrogged by Michigan State and Michigan.
Jack Sparkes, Clarkson Univ., RH Defenseman (180th overall in 2022)
2025-26 Stats: 0 goals, 0 assists, minus-3, 6 PIM in 6 games played
Sparkes played limited minutes as the seventh defenseman this weekend. Clarkson split a series with No. 8 North Dakota, winning 5-2 Friday and losing 1-0 Saturday.
EUROPEAN LEAGUES
Vojtech Cihar, Czechia-HC Energie Karlovy Vary, Forward (59th overall in 2025)
2025-26 Stats: 1 goal, 4 assists, minus-1, 8 PIM in 18 games played
Cihar recorded an assist as Karlovy Vary swept the week with a 4-3 win over Sparta Prague on Friday and a 5-4 victory over Mountfield HK on Sunday. The second-round pick carried the puck into the zone and chipped it into the corner for his helper, before going pointless Sunday despite three shots.
Petteri Rimpinen, Liiga-Kiekko-Espoo, Goalie (152nd overall in 2025)
2025-26 Stats: 2.40 GAA, .906 SV%, 1 SO, 5 wins in 12 games played
Rimpinen earned his first shutout of the season with 22 saves in Kiekko-Espoo’s 1-0 win over IFK Helsinki on Friday. Without Rimpinen the next day, Espoo fell 6-3 to second-place JYP as his backup posted an .838 save percentage, highlighting the fifth-round pick’s importance to the team. Reports we’ve been receiving from overseas suggest Rimpinen has been outstanding over the past month and should head to Finland’s upcoming World Juniors camp with plenty of confidence.
