At the beginning of the 2009-10 season, it appeared that the only impact power center in the USHL was Green Bay's Anders Lee, but during a stretch before the Christmas break, Omaha Lancers pivot Camden Wojtala was right there with the New York Islanders prospect. The 6-foot-2, 180-pound Wojtala scored five goals and five assists in ten games prior to the break and appeared to have flipped a switch, accelerating his development significantly over the course of a week, it seemed. Wojtala suddenly appeared to have fully adjusted to the caliber of play of the USHL and was displaying more poise with the puck and making more plays because of it and skating with much more quickness and even top speed. He started to approach Lee in December and early January. As of mid-January, Michigan's Mr. Hockey for 2009 had cooled off again offensively, but he had shown a glimpse of what he could (will?) be in the future when many of Omaha's current forwards move to college hockey in 2010-11 and he becomes a top-six forward. If that glimpse becomes a consistent reality, then selection in the 2010 or 2011 NHL Entry Draft could likewise become a reality.
