National Championship AA Preview: Big 4 HHH

Follow the NLF on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. This is the Big 4 HHH 2020 and 2021 preview for the 2019 NLF Club National Championships. We’ll be profiling some of the top players from every 2020 AA and 2021 AA teams who will be in attendance. 

2020
Top Commits 

Ricky Amorim, defense, Springside Chestnut Hill (Pa.) / Providence
Jeb Brenfleck, attack, Academy of the New Church (Pa.) / Penn State
Matthew Brock, faceoff midfield, Perkiomen Valley (Pa.) / Rutgers
Colin Kennedy, defense, Salesianum (Del.) / Utah
Connor McDonough, attack, Moorestown (N.J.) / Towson 

Top Uncommitted Players 

Griff McGinley, goalie, Academy of the New Church (Pa.) – McGinley stole the show at the NLF Opening Weekend, and he’s continued his hot play throughout the summer. The lefty is already a three-year starter for the Lions, and he doesn’t get rattled by much. He has a knack for coming away with highlight-reel saves, and his clearing game has been on point.

Ben Morschauser, midfield, Holy Ghost Prep (Pa.) – A Pennsylvania all-state pick this year, Morschauser buried more than 100 points as a junior, using his two-handed shooting ability and alley dodging abilities to burn defenses. He can invert, too, and his ability to dodge with his head up and involve his teammates make him a dynamic all-around threat.

Paul Richardson, midfield, Springfield-Montco (Pa.) – A physical specimen out of the midfield, Richardson has been having an outstanding summer for Big 4 HHH, helping the Philly boys to a championship at the NLF Opening Weekend. He already holds his school’s major scoring records, and he’s got the size, speed and shooting ability to be a great late addition to a team.

2021
Top Uncommitted Players 

Evan Bullotta, defense, Central Bucks East (Pa.) – A freak athlete who’s usually the fastest kid on the field, Bullotta is an aggressive defenseman who loves to push the pace in transition.

Tyler Guzik, goalie, Springside Chestnut Hill (Pa.) – A big goalie who steps to the ball well, Guzik is fundamentally sound and is coached in high school by goaltending legend Brian Dougherty, so you know that he’s only going to get better. He’ll be the starter for the Blue Devils next year, and he’s improved as the summer has gone along.

Luke Walstrum, attack, Council Rock North (Pa.) – Walstrum has been the best player for the HHH ’21s all summer long after posting a balanced 52-goal, 52-assist, 104-point stat line for C.R. North. He’s an excellent X attackman who finds different ways to score, and he’s deceptively quick enough to run around defenders.
