It can be hard for younger players to stand out at Dexter Southfield given its consistently deep talent pool.
That was never a problem for Noah Survilas, who announced his commitment to Northeastern on Friday.
Survilas burst onto the scene as a freshman in 2023-24, notching 30 points in Dexter's top six. He was snubbed from the U.S. National Team Development Program Evaluation Camp after that season.
Instead, he was picked high by the Muskegon Lumberjacks, going in the USHL Phase 1 Draft's third round (40th overall). He followed that up with four points in five games at Select 16 Camp.

Dexter was even better this past winter, and Survilas followed suit with 18 goals and 40 points in 28 games, helping Dexter to the Elite 8 championship game. Survilas scored twice in his team's Elite 8 semifinal win over Rivers, most notably notching the first goal 34 seconds in, effectively blowing the roof off the arena.
He was picked in the fifth round (90th overall) by the Moncton Wildcats in the QMJHL Draft in June, and popped at Select 17 Camp with a goal and six assists in six games.
The 5-foot-11, 170-pound forward from Winthrop, Mass., is predominantly a wing. He has high-end skill, a great shot and terrific vision. He can slow games down in ways many of his peers can't. He's a late '08 (Dec. 28), so he won't be NHL Draft eligible until 2027.
This is a strong get for Northeastern. He's the kind of high-end player who projects to be part of the Huskies' top six when he arrives (or shortly after).
He is slated to be back at Dexter Southfield next season.
