In this edition of the newsletter, we release our preliminary 1997 top 140 rankings which basically covers the first 6 rounds of the draft. Also released is the preliminary 1998 top 50 draft list. Both lists will expand as the season progresses and the players play tournaments over the summer and in to the fall. Heights and weights will also be added when I receive accurrent information in that regard.
I had a chance to speak with our #1 ranked player in the 1998 age group who heads to Texas in the summers to train for hockey. I spoke with one of the top defenseman available for the WHL draft in 2012 whose brother played in the WHL. I spoke with a defenseman who could very well go first overall if he continues at his current pace from the west coast. Finally, I speak with a high scoring Alberta sniper.
Also re-capped is the Calgary Challenge Cup and the teams to watch in summer hockey coming up. We take a look at the up coming tournaments over the next month or two that will be key tournaments.
