I also think it's a bit unfair to say he quit on those teams.

If I'm not mistaken his dad was head coach and GM of Wenatchee Wild, so I doubt he "quit" on them.

He played 2 years for Wenatchee, then they probably thought USHL was better for his development and it didn't work out, so he went back to the BCHL in a bigger program in Penticton (I'm sure his dad supported this).

So the only real program he quit on would be Cedar Rapids.

Then he decommitted from Minnesota State after they changed coaches, which is pretty common in college if the coach that recruited you leaves the team.
