Jones had a solid season with D1 Minnesota continuing to show his D1 potential. [player_tooltip player_id="850728" first="Nick" last="Katona"] of Shakopee. One of the elite talents at this event, Katona is also one of the best two way players that will be at the Expo. [player_tooltip player_id="850734" first="Cohen" last="Kellogg"] of Minnetonka. A steady, tough, and skilled lead guard that missed a lot of the 16u year to injury but is healthy and ready to go. [player_tooltip player_id="850706" first="Jackson" last="Loge"] of Morris Area.

When it comes to up and coming wings that the local small D1s and most of the D2s should look at, Avery is the guy. [player_tooltip player_id="850711" first="Joshua" last="Ola-Joseph"] of Osseo. Likely the most explosive junior that will be at the event when it comes to quick leaping into a finish. [player_tooltip player_id="958784" first="Tate" last="Olson"] of New York Mills.
