He's Canadian and our second very recent one from Winnipeg. They follow each other on twitter but because of the age difference haven't been on the same team. Also Dubinsky commented on McIsaac's tweet

The years the men's recruits are listed as committed for are not necessarily accurate.
The dates on which some of the women are listed as committing on may be considerably after the actual dates.
I am assuming that Neutral Zone records their Star ratings as public because they tweet them with committals.

Even with an offer from the Brandon Wheat Kings on the table, James McIsaac of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League’s Portage Terriers opted to go choose the safer route and pursue a chance to play NCAA hockey.

“With the college route, you get more years of hockey and it’s a way to prove your game and get more experience as well, ” said McIsaac, who the Brandon Wheat Kings drafted in the sixth round of the 2014 WHL draft. “I’ve never heard anything negative about NCAA hockey.”

McIsaac’s intrigue of NCAA hockey started when his eight-year-old travel team made it’s way to Grand Forks for a tournament. They also went to catch a University of North Dakota Fighting Hawks game.

“I fell in love with the atmosphere, I loved the type of game it was and then I just kinda pushed myself towards that path my whole life,” said McIsaac. “I want to do something with my life after hockey. Obviously, the NHL would be my ultimate dream but if that doesn’t work out I want a backup plan and I think college would help me with that.”

Yet despite his desire to play NCAA hockey, McIsaac attended the Wheat Kings past two rookie camps to explore all his options. While attending those camps, the Wheat Kings wanted to sign McIsaac.

“It’s tempting. When they put you in that room for player meetings tell you how the WHL is the best route to go, it’s intriguing,” said McIssac. “It definitely crossed my mind to play there, but I had to stick to my word.”

But McIsaac, who has hopes to pursue a degree in business, has no regrets about his decision to play with the Terriers, this year’s MJHL champions. Despite not playing Major Junior this year, McIsaac generated plenty of buzz in front of NHL, CHL and NCAA scouts when he participated in the CJHL top prospects game, where top NCAA recruiters had their eyes on McIsaac.

Looking down the road, McIsaac is unsure if he’ll be back with Portage, or if he’ll play in the USHL with the Fargo Force. Heck, he may even decide to go sign with the Brandon Wheat Kings next fall, but by playing the past two seasons in Jr A as opposed to with Brandon, McIsaac has kept all his options open as his game develops.

I guess that he will major in Management.

Beast summary article https://www.beast.hockey/news_article/show/961669.

No specific players are mentioned, but about Mike Cameron's team:

"The key for us was consistent growth. " said Vinny Smith, the head coach for the U16 North Jersey Avalanche. "Throughout a tough and rigorous early schedule we needed to grow as a team. Our style of play is based on skill and detail. That takes some time to progress and against the top teams that the BEAST provides, it was pushed every game. We were battle tested and out mindset of win and learn throughout the regular season helped us as we came into the playoffs. The combination of experience against the best teams in the country and a focus on winning for each other is what gave us a championship. The BEAST provides us with exactly what we want as a program. The best competition country-wide with maximum exposure. 15 of our BEAST games were against top-25 ranked teams. Half of those were against top-10 teams in the country. From a competition standpoint it’s the best you can get hands down. Our players have played in front of over 200 scouts from college, to the USHL, NHL, and more. The HPHL vs. BEAST event was the highest scouted event the East Coast has ever seen."
