If you are addicted to the game of Hockey, there is a good chance you have heard of the wildly popular summer league that features a ton of NHL stars and rising prospects. The Da Beauty League is a huge tournament held in Minnesota every summer, and they compete for the John Scott Cup.

This year, one St. Louis Blues player has made an immediate splash in the tournament. This is a great sign for the 2025-26 season, even though this league is made up like a fun scrimmage.

Jimmy Snuggerud, who is a good possibility for the top line for the Blues next season, made a highlight-reel play in the Da Beauty League. This is his third-straight appearance in this league, and he has played well throughout. It is definitely some nice practice against some NHLers.

The sky is the limit for Snuggerud next season, and all eyes will be on him. Both fans and the front office will be eager to see if his impressive arrival at the end of last season and into the playoffs was for real, or just a fluke. As he continues to impress, the hype continues to build for him for next season.

Can Snuggerud build on his confidence and keep the momentum of this summer hockey league performance for when it matters most in October?
