Pound The Rock Preview + Draw Released
As the weekend gets underway, there is a tonne of high level Canadian talent to track. NPH will be in attendance at the “Pound The Rock Invitational.” There will be names that we are very familiar such as Mikyle McIntosh, Peter Rusic of 22 Ft. Academy, Nicky Desilien, Chris Boucher of Alma, Maine Commit Troy Reid-Knight, Marko Pirovic (Thornhill), Javon Masters, Adam Voll (SJK) and the list goes on.
On the other hand, there could be some sleepers waiting to prove a point. Here is a little secret, Nicky Desilien the aforementioned PG for Alma, Quebec is arguably the most complete player we have seen all year, not named Andrew Wiggins.
We had the opportunity to watch Athlete Institute recently, where Brent Carey and Spencer Dawson stepped up, however a few starters were missing from the roster nursing some minor injuries. The full AIA squad will be in attendance this weekend and could make a splash.
It will be interesting to see who shows out among all this talent, and more. The following are the rosters and teams in attendance at the event.
