Michigan: Get ready to see the Detroit Red Wings prospects in action!

As the son of former NHL forward Derek Plante, Max has been immersed in hockey from a young age, giving him an exceptional hockey IQ. Fellow Red Wings prospect Austin Baker praises Plante for his impressive vision on the ice and his calm demeanor with the puck, making him a standout player in this prestigious event.

Goalie Trey Augustine, returning for his third showcase, is another key Red Wings prospect. Having already earned bronze and gold medals with Team USA, Augustine is eager to secure another gold. He emphasizes the honor of representing his country and the significance of winning a gold medal. «For me, there's nothing better than putting on the nation's colors and representing the United States,» Augustine said.

Defenseman John Whipple, drafted 144th overall in 2024, rounds out the trio of Red Wings prospects already confirmed. Known for his physicality and strength on the ice, Whipple is a formidable opponent, as noted by Austin Baker.

Additionally, Finnish winger Jesse Kisskinen, recently acquired from Nashville in a trade involving defenseman Andrew Gibson, will also be participating. Kisskinen's performance will be closely monitored as he looks to make a strong impression with his new team.
