McMahon just tweeted that 06 forward Keets Fawcett committed to BG.

31 points (18G, 13A) in 27 games for Regina in the WHL.

From Elite Prospects:

Fawcett forces piles of turnovers at the top of the zone and overwhelms opponents in down-low battles. He wins body position at every opportunity, going out of his way to make contact with the opponent in the process. The aggression translates to his backcheck and forecheck, where he always gives himself a chance to win possession.

Here's what I have for a current depth chart. Currently looking at 21 forwards which we all know isn't going to happen.

Soto and Coughlin are no longer listed on Heisenberg or College Commits nor do their Elite Prospects pages list BG as their next stop. That's too bad, Soto was almost a point per game and Couglin was our Shoresy connection.

I would not anticipate the 07s being here next season, especially the CHL guys.
Jacob Crawford
Matthew Paranych
Cameron Hankai
Joey Sinclair

The 06s can be pushed another year also, if they can catch an OA spot.
Keets Fawcett
Cam Springer

Isn't he currently playing for the Oakland Jr. Grizzlies with Owen Koller?

Yeah. My bad. Jr Ducks was 14U. Coffee hadn't kicked in yet. Jr Grizzlies assistant coach is Coale Norris, which is a name I think I've heard before.

Appears his twin brother Grady has committed a well.
52 points in 45 games with Oakland.

Both are drafted by the Tri City Americans in the WHL. I would expect them to spend some time there before coming here.

For being twins, there's a significant size difference. The Defenseman, Jackson, is listed as 5'10", 150lbs. While Grady, at forward, is 6', 174lbs.

20 years ago, I was the one showing others how to do it. I just couldn't keep up with all the internet formatting changes. As in, getting the picture address was only 1 right click away. It's since changed a bit.

In the lunch call this week Willy mentioned there were some more commits coming. I present to you defenseman Peteris Bulans from Chicoutimi (QMJHL), who is on pace for 40 points this season. A Latvian native, he was their captain at the 2025 World Juniors.
