The Loons ended up making 17 selections in the 2025 CCHL draft and one new face through a trade. I am sure everyone has been dying to know where they fit in amongst our current prospect and our thoughts on them - well you are in luck because here is an entire blog about them.
1.3 James Hagens C
Hagens is the jewel of the draft for us. We truly believe he is the best player in the draft and was thrilled that all the experts out there have him sliding down the rankings allowing us to grab him at 3rd overall. The consensus number one pick a few months ago has slipped outside the top 5 in a lot of pre draft ranking due to only being a point per game player in the NCAA. Having scouted James throughout the year we believe he was taking a backseat to Leonard and Perrault instead of driving the line himself. If he does return to BC this year I expect his numbers to explode as he becomes the clear top dog.
2.16 Jack Murtagh LW
After multiple failed attempts to move up in the draft to get Jack we were stunned to be able to call his name at 38. Jack was the one standout in our eyes in the NTDP. Scouting reports call him a freak athlete with a great motor. Sounds like he is made for the neon green and black!
3.3 Cole McKinney C
Pick 47 was used on Will Horcoff but he was sent along with a future pick to VGN for center Cole McKinney. In a down year for the NTDP Cole, like Murtagh, was a bright spot for the program. 61 points in 60 games is impressive for a player whose calling card centers around defense. Cole is a classic high floor player who could center a second line in Capeside if he develops well at Michigan.
3.12 Conrad Fondrk C
Conrad was a first round talent that because of a significant injury and a down year for the NTDP saw him slide in pre draft rankings. Loons are betting on him rebounding at Boston U
4.11 Teddy Mutryn LW
Our scouts rave about Teddy and like Stiga last year, this Teddy is our favorite player in the draft. He plays a hard nose pro style game that we hope is our diamond in the rough.
5.12 Dakoda Rheaume-Mullen D
The son of Manon, Dakoda plays a responsible defense first game game that is backboned by top end skating. As a freshman at Michigan, Dakoda gained the trust of the coaching staff and was skating on the top pair by the end of the year.
6.11 Brandon Gorzynski LW
The Loons went out of our comfort zone and went to the WHL to select Gorzynski.Brandon's defensive reliability in the offense first WHL stood out to our scouts.
6.12 Charlie Cerrato C
We went back to the NCAA to grab two time overager Cerrato. Charlie was over looked twice do to questions of how his offense would translate to a pro game, but this past year he put those questions to bed as he saw his game explode at Penn st with 42 points in 38 games leading the Lions to the Frozen Four.
6.18 Ethan Wyttenbach LW
Ethan is an offence first winger that tore up the USHL 51 points in 44 games for Sioux Falls. Ethan will likely dominate the USHL for one more season before heading off to Quinnipiac .
