According to US Hockey Report, Edson has
spent the past two seasons with St. John’s Prep, a high school in
Massachusetts. He recorded one goal and five assists in 24 games in his freshman
season (2014-15). Last year Edson registered four goals and eight assists in
23 contests.
Here’s what Jeff Cox of SB Nation wrote
about Edson earlier this week in a post about USHL draft prospects:
He's a tall, lanky blue liner who is still figuring out the game, but his first stride and how quickly he gets on opposing forwards is notable to anyone who's seen him play. He's still a year or two away, but he has pro upside with his size and physical tools.
The Sea Dogs have brought in several American free agents over the past couple seasons and it seems that trend will continue.
