The Utah Mammoth forward prospect only played 52 games this season, down from 67 last year, and recorded 51 points. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">That&#8217;s down from 62 last season, but his point-per-game pace is better, landing at .98 points per game, up from .93 points per game last season. His incredible work ethic was on full display both for the Barrie Colts and with Hockey Canada at the World Junior Championships.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Once again, I must note my frustration that a player is not eligible to go to the AHL, because if there is anyone it would benefit, it&#8217;s Beaudoin. He doesn&#8217;t have a lot left to prove at the OHL level, but I struggle to feel like he&#8217;s ready for the NHL. Given that he&#8217;s one of the hardest-working players around, though, there&#8217;s definitely a chance he could prove me wrong. And wherever he ends up, that team will be getting his best, without question.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"How He Performed During 2024-25 Season: The 24-25 season was a pretty solid step forward for Cole Beaudoin,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":120246,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":["post-120245","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120245","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120245"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120245\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/120246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=120245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=120245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
