Daniel Astapovich is in the middle of a breakout season with the Cedar Rapids Roughriders in the USHL.

Astapovich, who will turn 20 in March, scored his 15th goal of the season over the weekend and he’s up to 35 points (15g-20a) in 41 games this season. Astapovich, who has been listed as Cedar Rapids’ No. 1 center on recent line charts, is on pace for 53 points (23g-30a) in 62 games.

The Michigan native had 40 points (13g-27a) in 54 games for the Minnesota Wilderness in the NAHL last season.

Here’s this week’s recruit report, with a full statistical update on all players:

Note: Projected enrollment dates are in the left column. However, these are my projections. Projected 2025 enrollments are in the top tab. The only guaranteed enrollments are Tyler MacKenzie, Parker LaLonde, and Ethan Beyer, because they age out of juniors next season.
