We've gone through the forwards and the blue line separately. Put them together and the picture is the same, only starker. Sixteen Massachusetts skaters from the 2010 class went to the USA Hockey National 15 Development Camp in 2025 and scored 39 points. Fifteen from the 2011 class went to the same camp in 2026 and scored 66.

| MA skaters at camp | 16 | 15 | —1 |
| Total points | 39 | 66 | +27 |

| Top defenseman | Cotter — 4 | Kilimonis — 7 | +3 |
One fewer skater, 27 more points. The per-skater rate nearly doubles, 2.4 to 4.4. But the number that matters most for scouts is the depth line: the 2010 group produced one skater with five or more points. The 2011 group produced seven.
The assist column is the other tell. The 2010s scored 20 goals and 19 assists — almost a one-to-one ratio, the signature of individual efforts. The 2011s scored 30 goals and 36 assists. More of their offense came off connected plays, which is what you want to see from a group being evaluated together for the first time.
The Subplot: What the 2010 Camp Group Became
Here's the backdrop the 2011s are being measured against, and it's the reason this comparison matters at all. Of the sixteen Massachusetts skaters at the 2025 National 15 camp, fifteen were drafted or tendered within the year.
| 2025 Camp Skater | Pos | Cmp | USHL / NTDP | QMJHL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jamie Calla | F | 8 | Sioux Falls Stampede | Halifax |
| Robert Dekleine | F | 4 | Sioux City Musketeers | Charlottetown |
| Logan Cotter | D | 4 | Green Bay Gamblers | Newfoundland |
| Jack Queally | F | 4 | USNTDP | Halifax |
| Brodie Anderson | D | 3 | Dubuque Fighting Saints | Saint John |
| Blake Wilichoski | F | 3 | Cedar Rapids RoughRiders | Chicoutimi |
| Carter Felt | F | 3 | Cedar Rapids Roughriders | Rimouski |
| Sam Lee | F | 3 | USNTDP | Moncton |
| Owen Lundin | F | 2 | Omaha Lancers | — |
| Michael Barrett | F | 2 | Madison Capitols | Quebec |
| Austin Wu | F | 1 | Tri-City Storm | — |
| Ethan Machado | F | 1 | Dubuque Fighting Saints | — |
| Brendan Martin | D | 1 | Sioux Falls Musketeers | Rimouski |
| Nicholas Ware | D | 0 | Omaha Lancers | Cape Breton |
| Alex Guo | D | 0 | — | Shawinigan |
| Shaun Farrell | D | 0 | — | — |
Read the bottom of that table, not the top. Nicholas Ware went pointless at the camp and still came away with Omaha in the USHL and Cape Breton in the Q. Ethan Machado and Austin Wu each had a single point and landed USHL clubs. Only one skater in the entire group — Shaun Farrell — came away with nothing.
That's the honest lesson of the 2010 class: at this stage, being in the room was worth more than the scoresheet. The camp invite itself was the credential.
The Verdict
So what do we actually know? We know the 2011 group outscored the class ahead of it by 27 points at the same camp, with one fewer skater, more goals, far more assists, and seven times the number of high-end performers. That's not a projection. That's the result.
What we don't know is how junior clubs will weigh it. If the 2010 baseline holds — fifteen of sixteen finding a home — then this 2011 group should clear that bar comfortably, and the ones who scored at the top of it should be drawing early interest rather than late. That part is a read, not a fact.
And it leaves the QMJHL with the same question it faced last year, only sharper. The Q took twelve from this camp group in 2026, most of them after USHL clubs had already secured rights. If the USHL and the NTDP move earlier and deeper on a stronger 2011 class, what's left when the Q's turn comes? That's the thing worth watching between now and next summer.
