Niagara IceDogs Sign Exciting & Talented Top-10 Pick Ryerson Edgar
The <a href="https://chl.ca/ohl-icedogs/">Niagara IceDogs</a> are loaded with high-end talent at the forward position, and they just announced another significant commitment to their lineup for the 2025-26 season.
Forwards Caden Harvey, Brooks Rogowski, and Joseph Salandra are strong candidates to make Team USA's roster up front, while on the backend, the towering 6-foot-7 Colin Feeley and offensively-minded defenseman Levi Harper could form a solid pairing on the blueline.
The 2025 Hlinka Gretzky Cup takes place from Aug. 11-16 in Brno, Czechia, and Trencin, Slovakia.
Canada has dominated the tournament, winning gold the past three years. USA usually struggles, as they don’t send their best players from the United States National Team Development Program. However, they have made it to the bronze medal game in back-to-back years, winning it in 2023.
Last year, only one OHL player made USA’s roster — Travis Hayes.
