3 Canucks’ prospects to be watched in the NCAA – Hockey Writer – Vancouver Canucks
The NCAA season begins in October, with the prospects of several Vancouver Canucks to win the national championship at the end of the season. The Canucks have an interesting pool of prospects in the American college system, many of whom want to play a big role in their teams, and some will play with their new college for the first time. With the new CHL-NCAA protocol this season, this will be a new world of college hockey and we will see firsthand the first prospect we will discuss.
Anthony Romani, forward, Michigan State University
Romani will be part of the first wave of Canadian Hockey League players moving to the NCAA after the recent agreement as he announced that he will commit to playing at Michigan State in 2025-26. He has played in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) with North Bay Camp and the Barry Colts over the past three seasons. Instead of a chance to get a pro in the OHL or spend one of his last season, he seized on the chance to play with Michigan State, where he will play with other former CHL players such as the Columbus Blue Jackets first-round first-round first-round first-round Cayden Lindstrom and Philadelphia Flyers Flyers first-round first-round Porter Porter Martone.
Romani has been a force that cannot be ignored during the OHL. One season, he even led the league with a goal of 58 and ranked second in the league with 111 points. He has allocated time between the camp and the Colts over the past season, and in 35 games he has scored 35 points in 35 games, unfortunately plaguing his season. Romani made a huge contribution to his new team in the playoffs against Barrie, contributing 24 points in 12 games. Now, there is a chance to play with other elite players at Michigan State, hoping to take their game to a higher level.
Aiden Celebration, Boston University Defenseman
Although not as flashy as his younger brother McLean, Aiden Cleyin has elements that are needed in modern games. He won’t come up with a lot of points, but he’s a big, strong and strong defender who will score players on the board if needed. Players playing this type of game usually take longer to develop and more time to perfect their craft before going to the NHL, so it’s common for Celebrini to prepare for Turning Pro for another season at Boston University.

However, Celeanini will now have a chance to take a bigger role in the Terrier this season, with several players graduating from professional hockey, such as the Canucks Prospect Prospect Tom Willander. Aiden’s father spoke at the popular Vancouver sports show more than a year ago Donny and Daly About his son. He said: “I really want to know the results of Aiden. I think the best one is [for him]. I saw him building, I saw him obsessed with [hockey] Now it’s like he used to be. ” Celeanini has grown up and fell in love with the Canucks, so it would be a great story to have him play games with the team one day.
Matthew Perkins, Northeast
Perkins was drafted higher than most in 2023 in the fourth round, when the Canucks had just finished his draft with Youngstown Phantoms in the American Hockey League for more than a season. He spent the last two seasons at the University of Minnesota-Dulluce but was unable to produce big numbers with the Bulldogs, scoring 15 points in his first season and only five points in 2024-25. Now, he will move to the Northeast for better opportunities.
With this transfer, Perkins has the chance to be counted as the top player on their roster as he is one of only a handful of players to be selected in the NHL. A new and larger role could give him a chance to increase his perspective production, and the Karnak Scouts and management are clearly loyal fans. A big season for Perkins could bring miracles to his career.
This will be a big season for the NCAA for the Canucks, and many of their prospects have opportunities to take big strides. Production campaigns for all three players may mean something important to them.
