By @MichaelCaples –
USA Hockey has announced the 42 players on the roster for the 2018 All-American Prospects Game at the Xcel Energy Center in Minnesota on Sept. 19.
It’s not a strong group of Michigan natives; Northville’s Nick Robertson will be carrying the Great Lakes State flag on his own. Nineteen of the players are part of the USA Hockey’s National Team Development Program in Plymouth, however, and there are a few other Michigan connections on the list, as well.
