2010 Forward Rankings: Massachusetts Prep, 2026-27 Preseason.

• He led the class in goals. Twenty of them — more than any other 2010 in Massachusetts prep hockey, Jack Queally included.
• He isn't inheriting the top spot. Thirty-four points put him second in the class behind only Queally and ahead of NTDP selection Sam Lee. He was the highest-ranked returning forward before a single player left.
• Both national camps, in a year of turnover. One of only five Massachusetts forwards invited to the National 15 and 16 camps in a cycle where half the group was replaced.
• Both junior leagues moved. Cedar Rapids in the USHL, Rimouski in the Q — the full sweep of credentials available at this age.
• And he won. Felt's club team, the Neponset Valley River Rats, took the Massachusetts state championship in 2025-26. It doesn't show up on a camp roster or a draft list, and it's the one line on his record that says something about the player inside a team.

• Ranked second, could just as easily finish first. He is the single largest variable on this board.
• The MIAA number is enormous. Thirty-five goals and 19 assists for 54 points at Framingham High School. His goal total is 75 percent higher than the best in the class; his assists alone would have finished second behind Queally's 21; his points are 17 clear of what led all of Mass prep.
• The caveat is real, and he already answered it. MIAA production doesn't convert one-for-one to NEPSAC. But at the National 16 Camp, against the best players in his birth year in the country, his six points were the highest total of any forward there.
• He was already Felt's teammate. Walsh won the Massachusetts state championship with the Neponset Valley River Rats in 2025-26 alongside Felt. The prep pairing at Rivers isn't a new partnership — it's an existing one moving into the ISL.

Rivers is the roster to watch, and it isn't close. The leading goal scorer in Massachusetts prep hockey and the leading goal scorer in the Massachusetts MIAA, same birth year, same team — 55 goals between them last season across two leagues.

And here is the part that should worry the rest of the ISL: they already know how to play together. Felt and Walsh spent 2025-26 winning a Massachusetts state championship on the same River Rats team. Whatever chemistry two finishers need to build, they built it last winter. On a line together it could be lethal — two players who both draw coverage, each creating the room the other needs. Split apart, Rivers rolls two scoring lines most ISL teams can't match on depth. There is no version of this that isn't a problem for somebody.

• Our dark horse. The widest gap on this board between credentials and production, and the reason he ranks this high on 18 points.
• Nobody else in the class produced at both camps. Eight points at the National 15 Camp — six of them goals, the highest total of any Massachusetts skater there — and six more at the 16, tied with Walsh for the Massachusetts forward lead.
• His production goes up when the hockey gets harder. Camp is the toughest environment a sixteen-year-old plays in: unfamiliar linemates, no systems, four games, everyone in the building the best player from wherever they came from. Most players' numbers fall there. Calla's rose, two summers running, as a goal scorer both times.
• The 18 points is the case against him, and it's fair. Lower than seven players ranked below him. But if his prep number ever catches up to his camp number, he moves further and faster than anyone on this page — and the 18 will look like the outlier, not the ceiling. Sioux Falls and Halifax both heard it.

• Third in the class in scoring, ahead of an NTDP selection. Thirty-two points at Austin Prep, two behind Felt.
• With nothing attached to it. No National 15 Camp, no National 16 Camp, no Boys Festival, no Final 40, no USHL selection, no QMJHL selection. He is the most under-credentialed producer in the class and it isn't close.
• He produces both ways. Thirteen goals and 19 assists — his assist total tied for second among all 2010 forwards in prep hockey.
• A credential-weighted formula buries him around fourteenth. We don't think that survives contact with a scoresheet.

• Third-best playmaker in the class. Eighteen assists, behind only Queally and Egan among 2010 forwards.
• His camp week looked nothing like his season. No National 15 Camp invitation at all. At the 16 he put up four points — and three of them were goals, a completely different look than his prep line suggests.
• Half a credential. Gatineau drafted him in the Q with no USHL club following, and that split is the only thing keeping him out of the top three.
• New school. He moves from Winchendon to Belmont Hill this fall, replacing most of what Belmont Hill lost when Sam Lee left for the NTDP.

• The first player in the class off the board. Committed to Yale on August 3, three days after Division I coaches could first extend offers.
• He keeps getting asked back. One of only five Massachusetts forwards at both national camps, in a cycle where half the group turned over. His camp scoring has never been loud — two points, then one. The invitations are the credential.
• The frame is real. Six foot two, 190 pounds at sixteen, at a position where most of this class is still filling out. Madison and Quebec both drafted him.
• A junior year with the decision made. He also won the Massachusetts state title with the River Rats. Players who commit early and return to prep tend to have their best season.

• Fifth in the class in scoring. Twenty-seven points at Pingree — 12 goals and 15 assists, ahead of every player ranked below him and three ranked above.
• He got further into the process than anyone else without a camp invite. Boys Festival, then the Final 40, then the cut. That's one round short.
• No draft selection in either league. The second name on this board ranked essentially on production alone.
• New school this fall. He moves to Holderness. A strong first season there closes the credential gap fast.

• The second-best two-camp scoring line in the class. Four points at the National 15 Camp and three at the 16, behind only Jamie Calla among Massachusetts forwards.
• Full credential sweep. Both camps, Sioux City in the USHL, Charlottetown in the Q. Only a handful of forwards in this birth year hold all four.
• Consistent without ever topping a leaderboard. Twenty prep points, solid production everywhere he plays, no single number that jumps off the page. That's a real archetype and college staffs recruit it.
• New club, same school. He moves from the Minutemen Flames to the Neponset Valley River Rats for the 2026-27 club season, joining the program that produced most of the top of this board. He needs a scoring jump this winter to climb, and Belmont Hill has minutes available with Sam Lee gone to the NTDP.

• One of five forwards who broke into the process this year. No National 15 Camp invitation in 2025; invited to the 16 in 2026.
• His camp line inverted his prep line. Twelve goals and eight assists in the ISL, then three points at the National 16 Camp — all of them assists.
• Both junior leagues moved. Waterloo in the USHL, Blainville-Boisbriand in the Q.
• He inherits ice time. St. Sebastian's loses Jack Queally's 37 points to the NTDP — his River Rats teammate and prep linemate. Needham is the returning forward who benefits most.

• The most lopsided distribution profile in the class. Fourteen assists against three goals. Nobody else among 2010 forwards is that far to one side.
• Invited to the National 16 Camp, drafted by nobody. He is the only Massachusetts forward from that camp group without a junior selection in either league.
• Pure playmakers are harder to evaluate at sixteen than pure scorers. That may be the whole explanation for the gap between the invitation and the drafts.
• If the goal total moves at all, he jumps. Winchendon loses Drew Short to Belmont Hill, which frees up the minutes to find out.
