Unlike a lot of young Canadian hockey players who recognize their potential and enter Junior hockey with a CHL club, Tyson Jost decided to remain in the Junior A ranks this season, leaving the door open for a collegiate career. He will play his freshman season for the University of North Dakota Fighting Hawks next season, and will take a great deal of confidence with him to the NCAA program thanks to some impressive results from his 2015-16 campaign.
A crucial draft season began with Jost being named to Team Canada for the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament in August of 2015, where he scored three goals in four games on the way to a gold medal.
