“It was truly a team effort for these guys. As coaches, we are so proud that they were able to string together these wins to seal the deal to win their first championship of the year”, said coach Conor Esworthy. “We had some ups and downs throughout our spring season with players balancing their rec team commitments. The boys were relentless and played through every whistle.”

The NXT 2025 coaching staff (Esworthy, Hughes, Wenger, Yee) singled out James Dean (Attack MVP), Max Hiatt (Midfield MVP), and Kevin Covington (Defensive MVP) as key players of the weekend. The team received strong goaltending from both Connor Howard and Wade Devitis.

There will be a number of NXT 2021, 2022 & 2023 players playing in Adrenaline’s Black Card individual event on Friday leading into the weekend team event. “It’s going to be great for the NXT high school guys to start their summer with some big-time games and competition from all over the county. There will be well over 100 college coaches watching the high school teams and we plan on bringing our best effort and competing against the best all summer. It's an exciting time and we're going to have some fun,” remarked High School Director, Peter Lawrence.
