Kastelic, a 6-1, 175-pound centreman from Phoenix, Arizona, recorded 22 goals and 16 assists for 38 points along with 58 penalty minutes in 38 games with the Phoenix Junior Coyotes (Tier 1 Bantam AAA) last season.  This summer, Kastelic will attend the U15 USA Hockey National camp, held July 14-20 at the Northtown Center at Amherst in Amherst, NY.
