Attached is Central Scouting’s Preliminary Players to Watch List, released yesterday. The additional column entitled “College” is very helpful in determining which players on this list are playing or are committed in the future to playing college hockey. Boston University leads the list of A-rated prospect current/future players with four, followed by Michigan State University with three. The University of Michigan, University of North Dakota & Penn State University have one apiece.
Twenty-seven players appear as A-rated prospects. Regarding the various leagues having A-rated prospects, the CHL leads with sixteen, followed by three from Finland’s top pro league. Additionally, two apiece are from the NCAA (former CHL players McKenna and Verhoeff), the USHL, Sweden’s pro leagues, & Sweden’s top junior league.
