Silvertips' DuPont embraces pressure from Memorial Cup, recruiters
The 17-year-old defender is drawing major NCAA interest and reported NIL offers near $1 million while Everett chases the Memorial Cup.
- On Sunday, the Everett Silvertips face the Kitchener Rangers in the Memorial Cup final, with 17-year-old defenseman Landon DuPont facing intense NCAA recruiting pressure from top programs.
- As the projected top prospect for the 2027 NHL draft, DuPont is heavily pursued by NCAA programs attempting to convince the defender to join their ranks for his draft season.
- DuPont scored two goals in Friday's semifinal, powering Everett past the Chicoutimi Sagueneens 6-1, though he remains focused on the tournament rather than his future.
- Silvertips head coach Steve Hamilton said the team's environment has been a "good fit" for DuPont, noting their successful partnership this season.
- Despite recruiting pressure, DuPont insists he has "nothing lined up right now," stating he is "focused on this event" rather than planning next season.
