NTDP forward Blake Pietila committed to Northern Michigan. Pietila considered signing with Windsor of the OHL prior to committing to the NTDP. That was probably a wise choice on his part, since he's a nice player, but probably not a first round NHL pick type. Though I could see Windsor making a push to sign him after next season when they need to refill some roster spots.
Also committed off the NTDP U17 team was Arizona-born forward Zac Larraza. I was pretty surprised to see his name off the board so early just because he's still extremely raw. He'll definitely be a project.
Ferris State got a commitment from Green Bay defenseman Scott Czarnowczan.
Sioux City's Ryan Rashid committed to Niagara.
Forward Trevor Mingoia committed to Union. I remember him as being pretty highly thought of when he played at the Select 15s a couple years ago. That could be a steal for the Dutchmen.
