What he brings to juniors
Suda should draw interest from a junior club seeking a structured development option. His 18U season and puck-control assessment give a staff a reason to test whether he can provide stable possessions as the pace increases.
Puck control & structure

What translates
Movement gets him to the shot; rebound handling determines what the team faces afterward. The technical appeal is that combination, particularly if he can send the saved puck away from an immediate attacker while preserving his own recovery options.
Why this placement
A substantial completed youth season supports the assessment. The rank values the potential team benefit of controlled saves, with regular exposure to junior pressure still needed before a dependable starting role is projected.
Next development step
The next test is contact under traffic. A recruiter should watch where he places rebounds when sightlines are restricted and whether he can reconnect to the puck after a deflection without abandoning the useful structure of his initial position.
Competitive context
His 2025–26 record with Northstar Christian Acad 18U lists 30 appearances, with a 1.67 goals-against average and a .938 save percentage.
