The NS U15 Major October’s Player of The Month is Goaltender Leo Forance from the Nova`s.

Leo is statistically leading the League in all goaltending categories; in 3 games, he has 2 shutouts and has only allowed 1 goal with a 0.983 save percentage. Leo, who hails from Inverness, is a second year U15 player, who was an affiliate with The Novas last season. He came to camp this year with a strong work ethic and a determination to make the team. His commitment to improving and developing is certainly reflect in his play so far this year.

Now that each team has announced their 13 plus 1 players who are on their roster for this year, other players have a 48 hour timeline whereby they can ask to be signed or released.

Please do however keep in mind that teams are only permitted to have 15 additional players to the 25 that they protected for the entire fall trout process. In other words, some teams may not be in a position to invite another player to try out for their team.

Cut off timing for player request will be 8 am on Wednesday Morning the 27^th.
