Episode Details

Two Minnesota natives, Cooper Simpson and Will Zellers, are already rooming together at development camp and heading to North Dakota for college hockey — with Boston watching closely. Zellers, a trade acquisition, exploded with 44 goals in the USHL and carried that fire into his freshman season, earning praise for his two-way game and potential as a top-six scorer. Simpson, a third-round pick, followed suit with a breakout USHL season, finishing second in goals and showcasing a lethal shot and creative hands that hint at 25+ goals at the pro level. Both are part of a loaded North Dakota freshman class chasing a national title after last year’s Frozen Four heartbreak. With confidence soaring and skills sharpening, they’re proving the NHL isn’t out of reach — and Boston may be watching them rise sooner than expected.
