Recruits 2026 and Beyond

One to keep an eye on might be Kellen Paetsch out of Spencerport. He made the U17 NTDP team and has spent the past 2 years with BK Selects. He is a 6'3" defenseman. His dad is an assistant coach with the Amerks and had a long career playing in the AHL and NHL, plus was a 2-time member of Canada's World Junior team. We're overdue for an NTDPer.

any specific reason to believe he's a possibility or is he just a guy who will be on every team's wishlist

Nothing specific; I like to hope we're due and have had decent luck with kids out of Rochester.

Probably decent chance he at least messes around on the ice with the hockey guys at some point though. Not sure if he's allowed to at an official practice because NCAA.

Team manager?

Huh?
