    After a strong freshman season, Vancouver Canucks prospect Tom Willander has been named to the Second Team All-Star for the Hockey East Conference. Drafted 11th overall by Vancouver in 2023, Willander leads his team in plus/minus at +23 while recording 21 points in 32 games. He has also blocked 27 shots and has helped Boston University to a 24-8-2 record this season. 

    Since returning from the World Juniors, Willander has kicked his game into high gear. He is currently on a three-game point streak and has nine points in his last ten games. Playing beside Toronto Maple Leafs' prospect Cade Webber, Willander has shown he can thrive at both ends of the ice and that his game can adjust to the smaller North American ice surface.
