USA Hockey's All-American Game is always one of the most highly scouted events of the NHL Draft calendar.
It gives NHL scouts a chance to see the country's best take on the best. Players from the U.S. National Team Development Program, USHL and other leagues (including prep). There will be five locals in attendance when the puck drops on Thursday night.
Forwards David Bosco (Winchester, Mass.), Casey Mutryn (Norwell, Mass.), Jamie Glance (Stratham, N.H.) and Justin Graf (Lincoln, Mass.), as well as defenseman Myles Brosnan (Winchester, Mass.), will be the region's representatives.
Bosco and Graf are enjoying great first seasons with the USHL's Cedar Rapids RoughRiders. Bosco has 10 goals and 17 points in 28 games, while Graf leads Cedar Rapids in goals (16) and points (34).
Both are committed to Harvard. Both are also fresh off strong prep school seasons. Bosco was a standout with Belmont Hill, serving as one of the top scorers for the Sextants over the last two campaigns. Graf broke out over the last two seasons with Rivers. He helped the Red Wings to the Elite 8 semifinals last season with 56 points.
Bosco was also tabbed a sixth-round prospect by NHL Central Scouting earlier this week.
Glance, while not an NHL Draft prospect until 2027, has leapt second on the U.S. National Team Development Program's U18 team in goals (13) and points (26). The Boston University commit was a big-time standout with Mount St. Charles at the 14U and 15O levels before making the NTDP.
Mutryn was ranked a first-round prospect by NHL Central Scouting earlier this week — and it isn't hard to see why. Through 33 games with the NTDP's U18 team this season, he has five goals and 20 points. The 6-foot-3, 201-pound forward can play both center and wing, and is a classic power forward. He has strong two-way abilities as well and was one of the top players on the NTDP's U17 team last season.
In 2023-24, Mutryn was a standout with St. Sebastian's and the Boston Junior Eagles, which helped him make the NTDP.

Brosnan is the lone New England prep hockey player who will play in the game. His 26 points lead Dexter and all defensemen in NEPSAC. The 6-foot, 198-pound defenseman is a fantastic skater who has long been a high-end offensive defenseman among the '07s. Up until this fall, when he began playing for Dexter's fall team, the Brookline Whalers, he was a longtime member of the Boston Junior Eagles.
He was tabbed as a fourth-round prospect by NHL Central Scouting earlier this week.
