Nashville Jr. Predators18U AAA · Tennessee

ASSESSMENT

High-volume scoring at 18U AAA

McGill’s offensive value is the ability to contribute on either side of a scoring play. He can finish a chance or be part of its creation, giving Nashville a forward whose impact is not tied to one category.

That balanced role held over a full 18U AAA season, with Tier 1 Elite and playoff returns adding context. His brief NAHL exposure is another step in testing how that offense carries into faster competition.

PERFORMANCE

The record

60points in 50 18U AAA games
30goals
16points in 16 Tier 1 Elite games
3NAHL appearances

The NAHL appearances are experience at a higher level; no points were recorded in those three games. Nashville lists McGill on its current 18U AAA roster.

PROJECTION

Outlook

McGill ranks #1 overall and #1 among forwards. His full-season 18U AAA production and advancement beyond youth games make him the strongest documented new entrant. Continued impact in the current schedule will test that position.
