Billy VanSumeren

Midland Dow | Position: Forward | Senior

The first thing you notice about Billy is just how big he is. You expect to see a typical “power forward” type player, but he is so much more than that. Billy is dangerous with the puck and a threat to score from anywhere in the offensive zone. For how big he is he is extremely slippery and is great with the puck in tight spaces. He always seems to be in the right place at the right time to score a goal. -Kyle Zagata Saline Head Coach/Team Michigan Coach/Evaluator Stats through December 29th - 18 goals, 5 assists, 23 points

Trent Benedict

Muskegon Mona Shores | Position: Forward | Junior

"Trent has really blossomed this season so far, and I attribute that to playing in the MDHL in the fall.
