Catching The Torch: Rhett Pitlick’s skating continues to fuel his game in the USHL

Each week we take an in-depth look at young members of the organization while providing an overview of Habs prospects playing at the Junior (OHL, QMJHL, WHL, BCHL, USHL) and collegiate (NCAA) level.

Rhett Pitlick is in a transition year. He played the past few years at the High School level, and considering his lack of size and strength, spending a season in the USHL before he embarks on his college career was a good decision. Not all prospects are Jayden Struble or Cole Caufield. Most need to take their first step in more higher-level junior before they can face the competition of the NCAA.
