One of the big results of USA Hockey's Select 17 Camp is players moving on to the Hlinka Gretzky Cup Camp.
The Hlinka Gretzky Cup Camp takes place July 26-30 in St. Paul, Minn. From there, players will be chosen to represent Team USA during the Hlinka Gretzky Cup, which is Aug. 5-10 in Edmonton.
Three players from the region are headed to St. Paul, Minn.
Forward Alex Donovan (Darien, Conn.) and defenseman Everett Baldwin (Providence, R.I.) were the two representatives from the New England District. Forward Teddy Mutryn (Norwell, Mass.) is the lone player from the Massachusetts District, which is separate from New England in the eyes of USA Hockey, to move on.
Donovan had a strong showing at Select 17 Camp, posting two goals and six points in six games. The Mid Fairfield product has spent the last three seasons with Shattuck-St. Mary's, most recently notching 40 goals and 80 points in 57 games for the 16U squad. He's committed to Denver.
Another Mid Fairfield alum to make it was defenseman Tommy Bleyl, who is from Glenville, N.Y.
Mutryn posted one goal and one assist in six games at Select 17 Camp. While his production wasn't high, he was effective and earned an invite to the U.S. National Team Development Program in 2023. The Boston College commit is slated to play for the USHL's Chicago Steel next season after three campaigns at St. Sebastian's. He dealt with an injury for much of this past winter.
On defense, Baldwin scored two goals and added an assist at Select 17 Camp. The Boston Jr. Eagles product was a standout for St. George's this winter, tallying six goals and 27 points in 28 games. He's slated to return to the prep school for his senior year next winter. Baldwin committed to Providence College last year.
All three players from New England are legitimate 2025 NHL Draft prospects. We will have more coverage from Select 17 Camp later this week.
