## Resource

Ben McCartney, a 24-year-old forward, had a standout season with the Tucson Roadrunners, earning an A-minus grade. He led the team in points with 51 in 59 games, setting franchise records for points and power play goals. Despite a slight dip in production towards the end of the season, McCartneys consistent improvement and versatile skill set make him a strong candidate to join the Utah Mammoths NHL roster.
