It’s time for the 2019 Beast Series 18-U All-Star Teams to be unveiled following Sunday’s championship, won by Rochester Selects.
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 HPHL teams in Hackensack, N.J., in September and participated in many other well-run showcases that were highly scouted.
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.
