One year after leading all CHL teams with 8 players ranked for the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, the Storm’s 5 players on the final 2013 Central Scouting Draft Rankings trails only the London Knights among the 60 CHL member clubs.
Jason Dickison tops the list ranked 30th. Ben Harpur (101), Zac Leslie (146), Hunter Garlent (156) and Tyler Bertuzzi (207) are also listed.
The Canadian Hockey League today announced that 157 CHL players have been listed by NHL Central Scouting in their Final Rankings for the 2013 NHL Draft which takes place June 30 in New Jersey.
28 of the top 30 ranked North American prospects are from the CHL including the first 23 skaters led by defenceman Seth Jones of the Portland Winterhawks. Halifax Mooseheads’ forwards Nathan MacKinnon and Jonathan Drouin are listed second and third respectively, followed by defenceman Darnell Nurse of the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds at number four, and forward Sean Monahan of the Ottawa 67’s at fifth overall.
The top three North American goaltenders ranked by NHL Central Scouting are also from the CHL beginning with Zachary Fucale of the Mooseheads, and followed by Eric Comrie of the Tri-City Americans at number two, with Tristan Jarry of the Edmonton Oil Kings ranked third overall.
The 157 CHL players includes 130 skaters of the 210 ranked by NHL Central Scouting in North America representing over 61% of the Final Rankings, while 27 of the 35 goaltenders ranked by NHL Central Scouting are from the CHL representing over 77%. In total, over 64% of all players ranked by NHL Central Scouting are currently competing in the CHL.
The Western Hockey League had a total of 59 players ranked including 47 skaters and 12 goaltenders, followed by the Ontario Hockey League with 52 players ranked including 45 skaters and seven goaltenders, and the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League with 46 players including 38 skaters and eight goaltenders ranked.
