The 2019 Beast Series 16-U National Division is over following Sunday’s championship, won by South Kent Selects Academy.
As has been customary over the three years of the tournament series’ existence, there was no shortage of high-end players. There will be numerous players from the Beast Series that will make their way to the NTDP, USHL, and college hockey.
Beast Series teams hosted teams from the HPHL in September and participated in other showcases across the region that saw tons of college coaches and junior scouts in attendance.
The coaches from the Beast Series will vote on the official All-Beast Series teams, but below is my version of the three All-Beast Series teams along with a few players worthy of honorable mention. Please note that these selections are based on performance this fall and not the past, or future projections.
